Eheim Canister Filter Comparison

[aza]

Hi bros.. i am new in aquarium keeping.. i would like to ask . Any bros here use ehiem ecco 300? Any feed back on this canister?

Me. I have another 2217 too. Still prefer the classic version; the ecco pro's handle feels like breaking every time I do cleaning. Why not go with 2215? It has almost similar filter rate with Ecco Pro 300.

Its a good filter, i've been using them for my planted 2ft tanks over the past few years ... its inbuilt swivel taps and easy-priming features are useful, while the flow rate of 750 l/ph is ample for circulation (especially when inline equipment like Co2 reactors or chillers are added) and it uses only 8 watts so quite energy efficient.

I guess thats what everyone wants to know too.

Maybe you can check at Seaview, they have 15% discount on aquarium equipment so you might be able to find a good deal there (not sure if the discounts apply to certain eheim filter models though, you'll just have to check).

Last I compared 2 years ago, C328 price is cheaper than Seaview after discount price plus C328 can use credit card, earn points or get a bit of cashback etc. However things may have changed, can just call them up to check. Another option is call NA too.

[desmondsim]

Ok. Thanks bros.. will check and update here again..

Going to sea view tomorrow

yes, i bot mine at C328, if the one on the shelf at seaview contain media, then it will only be abit cheaper, but if no media, then it will be a whole lot cheaper , unless there is 15% discount, never ask about it

Oh i see.. you mean this ehiem ecco 300 canister comes in two types of packing? With and without media? Ok.. will ask them for both the pricing? Thanks for the information . Bro..

So far i've only seen the Classic series models being offered in the cheaper "without media" packages... but haven't seen the Ecco Pro series come in packages without media yet.

[desmondsim]

Thanks bro.. will ask them see they have it..

[desmondsim]

Hi bros.. just came back from seaview.. the ehiem ecco 300 they are selling at $239 nett.. and they dont sell it without the media.. full package..

[desmondsim]

Is it cheap?

[Urban Aquaria]

Is that before their 15% discount?

If not, then its rather high... i got mine at less than $200, but that was a few years ago, so not sure if there is a newer version that costs more now.

[desmondsim]

I asked them. They told me there is no 15% discount on ehiem product that are with yellow price tags.. items with white colour price tags .. yes.. 15% discount..
