06-09-2006 19:54 by keith t	Thinking about buying one of these filters are they really as good as what people say they are. Anyone ever experianced any problems with them. I know theres loads of parts available for them but this has made me think that parts are so available coz things keeps going wrong with the filters.
06-09-2006 20:06 by kevin george	ive had ehiems and find em to be reliable and u can still get parts for the older ones so thats a good sign.
06-09-2006 20:27 by Jake Casson	Get one, you wont regret it.
06-09-2006 21:03 by danny.c	go for a pro3
06-09-2006 21:06 by TARTINJOCK	Got a Pro 2 2028 in a Rio 240, with Malawi so it has lots of fish in it, no worries whatsoever, not needed to do anything to it in the last 3 months, works a treat.
06-09-2006 21:16 by Jake Casson	What size tank>?
06-09-2006 21:36 by keith t	400ltr, did think about pro3 but thought its a bit ott

06-09-2006 23:07 by Phill Austen	Keith, the other positive thing about Eheim, is that they are probably the quietest. I don't know if this is a consideration for you
07-09-2006 10:01 by keith t	cheers for the eheim feedback, am going to purchase one. Do u think i should go for one with no media for £107.95 or with media £129.99 thats inc delivery which seems very resonable to me, down my lfs they want £210 ( RIP OFFS ). Anyone know anywhere cheaper than what i found let me know.
07-09-2006 10:02 by keith t	P.S its the 2028
07-09-2006 11:44 by PaddyD	Depends on what media you want. If you just want a good solid filter go for the media. Its pretty good an expensive to buy eheim seperately. Or you could go a budget brand - or if you want the best go for siporax, but it pricy.
07-09-2006 13:00 by TARTINJOCK	Look on EBAY, I got mine for £50, no worries, as lots have said they are very reliable, you can then get whatever media you want, worth a look, you will usually get the spray bar, syphon etc with the filter. Cpoy and paste this numbet into the search on EBAY- 300024560936 Good luck
07-09-2006 13:14 by keith t	is ok buying one thats a year and a half old, or would it be better just paying the extra and getting new
07-09-2006 13:20 by TARTINJOCK	To be honest, it's up to you, you pick one up cheep, they are very reliable, I changed the impeller on mine, didn't have to, cost about £7 I think, took about a minute to do, thats the hardest working part of the filter, just did it prior to setting up as everything was dry and wouldn't have needed to disturb the filter once set up.
07-09-2006 18:11 by Jake Casson	Pro 3 if you have messy fish, I was ordering one the other week for my 350 litre tank then someone contacted me with 2 bucket filters each rated to 1000 litres so bought them for it.
