Hey, used to be a regular on the old forum, didn't realise there was a new one! anyways i need your help with setting up a classic eheim, i have read the instructions but it doesn't mention anywhere about these double tap bits, anyone tell me where to put them? do i have to cut the hose and use these as a connector? any help would be appreciated.

Yes, you'll need to cut the hoses, put a bit of hose on the bottom of the Classic, and a bit on the top, add a tap to this, and the other half of each tap goes onto the hoses that go to the tank.

may i add that if you use a Male on the inlet to the filter that you use a Female on the return !
it makes it impossable to reconect the filter wrong after cleaning . hope this makes sense George

Good thinking Mr Pope!! I have a tag on my outlet to remind me which is which lol

Yeh well i just bought the largest eco filter and the taps are connected to the top of the filter casing and its easy to get them crossed! it came with little in-out stickers....well i guess it is called eco LOL

Yeah I've got an eco running myself, don't rate it as good as the Classics tho.

i have had a classic running for 12 + years and only replaced one impeller! great value i say
