Remember to get the double tap valves if you're getting the eheim 2217. It saves you alot of time and effort when its time for your canister maintenance.

Double taps are made of two valves connected with a threaded fitting, you basically connect it inline on each hose. When you want to maintain the filter, just shut off all the taps and you can disconnect the hoses without water draining out everywhere. The valves can also be used to restrict flow too, very useful to regulate the flow from the outflow.
This is what it looks like:

The Eheim Classic series filters don't come with double taps (unless specially packaged in), they usually have to be bought and installed separately.
The Ecco Pro, Pro, Pro 2 and Pro 3 series filters all already come with inbuilt double tap systems, so no need to add them.

Hi guys,,
Need recommendation for my new tank, which yet to setup.
I'm getting a front curve tank, 30cm x 19cm x 26cm.
(take it as 10-12 litres of water in total)
Which is more suitable ? Eheim Classic 150 aka 2211 or aquacompact 40
(Both about the same price)
I'm digging the 2 tubes setup (classic) than the partial filter submerse into tank (aquacompact)
The Eheim 2211 would be better for your setup... you get more filter media capacity, can use glass lily pipes with it and can position it hidden away from view under your tank.
Voters need to be restricted to only users whom have used all 3 models, for effective poll.
Otherwise everyone simply votes for the model they are familiar with. Regardless of the hate towards the Ecco, it is my favorite. The handle only breaks on people when they try to swing it prior to disconnecting the taps. It is compact, comes with multiple media trays (provided you get above the 2232), simple to clean & simple to prime.
Sorry.
I use a 2213 for my 17 gal and a 2217 for 48 gal. I love rhwm
any recommendation for a 20 gallons setup? not overkill...
See YouTube on Aquael Minikani.
No need to power off, not a drop of water to disconnect the canister for maintenance.

Thats an interesting design... only thing is its pump is situated in the tank (not in the canister).
Not really, you can have 3 options on where to place the small pump as systems is designed.
I put the pump outside the tank, where space is available. Love the European design and is inexpensive (~S$120). 3tray or 4 tray, including medias.

Thats very useful... the option to place the pump anywhere does give it alot of flexibility.
Btw, do they have versions with flow rate higher than 350 l/ph?
Thanks for the info. Very helpful indeed. Any other good recommendations for similar canister?
Hi UA, they offer 3 -4 range of ext filters products which all designed and made in Europe. The Midikani range has pump rate of 800 lit/H which gives effective filtering rate of 650 lit/H.
( pump can be replaced for larger flow rate but their pumps are very quiet, water proof and very efficient.)
The Unimax range is very interesting - 2 sets of in/out flow pipes for placement flow area for large tank to eliminate dead spots. 2 pumps integrated in the canister. Option to self install an UV light when required.
Take a look in their URL
