One thing I must say about the Eheim filters is that they are QUIET. We have had no problems with these filters and would highly recommend them.Īnother benefit of using two filters is that you can alternate the cleaning cycles of each filter. The 2126 is a smaller filter but it includes a heating element that has no problem keeping a 90G aquarium in the mid 80’s.īoth filters and the heating function are controlled by a Neptune Systems Apex controller. The 2078e has a bio function that allows you to run the filter at 2 different 12 hour flow rates that can be adjusted from slow to fast.

Our main filter is an Eheim Professional III 2078e and our secondary filter is a Eheim 2126 ThermoPro II. On this tank, we use two Eheim canisters filters. Our main Aquarium is a 90G Planted tank which has mostly Han’s discus. I have one on a tank in my son’s room and we have to make sure there is a small paper weight on the cover to keep it quiet. I agree with the comments concerning the vibration of the AquaClear 70 covers. It will depend on your water changing regime. I don't do daily WC's on my tanks so the filter capacity is very important to me. These filters can hold a lot of media and that is the most important thing you are looking for in biological filtration.
#Eheim 2260 for sale pro#
I agree, it's the best filter I've ever had the 2260 (rinse the media out evry 6 months!), however I have upgraded to the Eheim pro 3 series. You can put some serious media in that thing. bucket with a pump on top, the Eheim 2260 I think. If I were to buy one, it would be the one that looks like a 5 gal. If I were to hook them up now, they would still run. Heck, I have some old Eheims in the garage somewhere that are at least 20 years old. To choose between Fluval and Eheim is easy for me, IMO Fluval is lacking the quality that the Eheims have. and bio filters that are capable of handling a small pond. I only have one of them running at moment after taking down a few tanks, but these things are amazing mech. The only canisters I have been using lately are a couple of Ocean Clear 354 poly bead filters that hold 7 lbs. A person could make their own if they had a container they could seal, have it hold pressure, and not blow the lid off. are putting useless gizmos on some of them to justify a high price. LOL! I am always amazed at how many stupid people are out there! Canisters are very simple. To be honest, for the price, I'd go for the Eheim Pro II 2128. One person said it was recommended for NASA engineers as they couldn't put it together. I was just reading the reviews on the Eheim, had me laughing. I do actually hear more cons about fluvals than Eheim filters.

HOB filters are much easier to clean and the AC filters have trays that you can put different media or filter pads in, much like a canister filter.

#Eheim 2260 for sale plus#
I can't imagine a canister filter cleaning all that tank bottom plus an additional foot of length and filtering 25 more gallons. I have two HOB style filters in my 5ft long 100g tank and I love them. A single canister wouldn't be good in a 6ft long tank in my opinion. May be able to find it cheaper elsewhere, that's just a reference. img2811672thmb.jpg&siScName=Power+Filters&groupId=-1

I say go for the two 70's to save some coin. I'd recommend either two Aqua Clear 70's or two 110's. I would highly recommend that you get two HOB style filters. They are nice but maintenance on them can be a pain. If your 125g tank is a standard one then it will be 6ft long, not that it matters.
