I'm sure Eheims have some advantage over Fluvals, given how much more
expensive they are, and how folks in the fishy newsgroups rave about

in my Fluval. As reliable as any man-made appliance could hope to be.
YMMV.

How long ya had it? I've burned up two of the stupid
things in abot 3 years, one also had the incurab;e noisy
rotor thing going too. I've swicthed (back) to sponge filters
with the occasional zap with a diatom. At least you can actually
repair diatom fiters if on the odd change they screw up when they're
25 years old - I replaced the pump seal when it became leaky.
