I think you're missing a part. My Eheim came with two J-shaped pieces of rigid
green tubing, meant to hook over the sides of the tank. One for intake, one
for the spray bar.

My 2213 came with one. But my intake was like inverted "J" type.

Hi!

wow. you have some impressive setup. thank you for your reply.

with only 2 chambers what is common thing to do if you need to put in carbon
filter to get medication, etc out? I assume you keep the Ehfisubstrat, but
do you do a 50-50 ehfimech/carbon split with some thin foam to separate the
two levels in one basket?

I wonder if anyone has tried mix/match the 2222 and 2224 baskets inside
2224? i guess it wouldn't fit..?

The "Classic" line of filters don't come with that rigid outflow piece. There
is only a small "elbow" piece to curve into the spraybar. My 2217 is the same.
I've just let the tube drape over the tank edge, but I might change my mind
and buy that "Shepherds Crook" eventually. I'm still getting pretty good flow
because the tube isn't kinked too much.

If you go to http://www.eheimparts.com/client/homepage.aspx and click on
"cannister filters" and you can find your model.

You do want to watch how the tubes hang down below the tank... I left the
outflow tube a bit too long and discovered it had kinked near the filter and
almost completely shut down the flow for a couple days.

I had the same probem but managed to do the job using flexible tube
and succion cups!
