Eheim Canister Filter Comparison

[whooshgabby]

classic is perfect. second for me is pro2. just my base on my experience.

What's an appropriate filter for a 1.5feet tank?

[daybreaks]

is a classic 2215 more than sufficient for a 60cm by 30cm by 36cm tank?

Yep enough for a two feeter

Yep enough for a two feeter

thanks for the fast reply.Was thinking of either the smallest ecco pro series or the classic one.
seems like classic is better due to lesser parts and a more versatile pump.

Just nice I think-even after you chain a chiller to it.

Hi all. If my tank size is 120cmx30cmx30cm which Eheim model should I get? Plan to have fern and US Fissidens as background and foreground respectively.

Thanks

[StanChung]

A 2217 would be adequate.

What tank size would be good for eheim 2211? Just got a second hand 1 for free. Pls advise. TY.

I think anywhere between 1 - 2 feet should be within the working capacity of the filter, and anything more than that would be pushing the boundaries. Most 1 - 2 feet tanks should fall within the range of 50-150l for the 2211 filter to work.

[stormhawk]

mincedmeat's estimation is correct. Take into consideration whether you intend to run a chiller or not. If not, then the 2211 will suffice for the tank sizes recommended by minced. If you do intend to run a CO2 diffuser with chiller etc, you will need a larger filter.

[Alaney]

Ok got it! Thanks for the advise! Will follow it through.

hi i hope bro out there can help me with this.

i just bought a eheim 2260 and my set up will be something like this.

tank>> dummy filter or pre filter(filled with wool and pad)>> eheim 2260>> chiller >> back to tank
*NOTE: ONLY eheim 2260 will be running the whole system.

In the box i have 25/34mm hose that is for the inlet of the eheim 2260.
Can eheim 2260 used a smaller hose size as i will connect it to my dummy filter? (i could not find another filter that has an outlet/inlet using 25/34mm hose)
and how can i do it??

i hope bro out there can help me with this
Thanks

What's the difference between 2217 and the 2026? Which would you guys go for? Cost wise what's it like?

I would like to know too. Any comments from the expert?

Is it better to get 2217 or pro series. I prefer easy maintenance and problem free.

[Jianyuan]

2217 is the classic series, which is pretty simple with less fanciful gadgets like the priming button.
2026 is the pro 2 series, with the add on of the priming function and the maintainence function.

Many people prefer the classic version as lesser parts means lesser parts to replace, and less easier to break down faster.

Im getting a ADA 60p which is 60x30x30 soon. Will be running a chiller along it too. Which classic series would be more suitable? Where can i get the best price for it?

[darrentyl]

Do you intend to have pre-filter?

I will suggest 2215 with pre-filter and chiller. Maybe you can consider lily pipe since your tank will be braceless?

Nice tank by the way.
