Fluval vs Eheim
Yes the Eheim is that much better. The Fluval's can break down often, and
quite simply don't do as good a job IMO. Spend the extra cash, you'll not regret it. "Rheta Chase" wrote in message news:diHt9.75086$qM2.20693@sccrnsc02... I am looking at purchasing a canister filter and am trying to decide between the Eheim Pro II model 2026 and the Fluval MSF 304. It will be used in a 46 gallon planted tank that is well stocked with fish. I would really appreciate any feedback as I've noticed the Eheim is twice the price of the Fluval....is it that much better? TIA, Rheta |

TIA, Rheta There used to be many equipment reviews on www.notcatfish.com The favourite filters were all Eheim. Ive had many filters over the years and without out a doubt Eheims are by far the best.

Fluval vs Eheim
I've got a Eheim ECCO model.
Pros It has ZERO noise (I honestly don't know when it's running or not), self priming with shutoff valves, basket design for media (i.e. flexibility), easy to clean impler (sp?), can be CO2 injected. It has dry runned for a couple hours without any damage (woops). Cons I've found that the intake line tends to compress at the canister. Anyone have a fix for this? Like a shunt or something? The cost, but worth it in the long run. Greg |

If you have a Pocket PC you might want to try using PocketAI
to make your decision. It's shareware and great for deciding all kind of things like that. You can compare pros and cons, or weigh the benefit of your options by criteria that you choose, and see which choice is the best for you. http://www.3dnetproductions.com/pocketai BM "Mathias" wrote in message ... In my oppinion, the Fluval is quieter and easier to clean. I've never had a breakdown on any of my fluvals. /M "Rheta Chase" skrev i meddelandet news:diHt9.75086$qM2.20693@sccrnsc02...

Don't know about the 2026, but I just got the Eheim Plus 2213 for $75 (US) from Drs. Foster and Smith and am very pleased with it. Very quiet, can't hear it at all. Sucks up CO2 bubbles from my DIY generator like a charm. Erica http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/mitoem/mitoem/index.htm |

I couldn't afford Eheim, but I've been not the least disappointed 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. -- Richard Sexton | Mercedes Parts: http://parts.mbz.org http://www.mbz.org Mailing lists: http://lists.mbz.org W108, W126 Mercedes Classifieds: http://ads.mbz.org |

I've used a Fluval 403 for over 12 years and the only repairs ever made to it we new o-rings when needed and once I had to replace the impeller cover when I busted it while cleaning. The thing is solid as a rock and aside from the priming pain and occasional rattle when air gets inside I wouldn't trade it for any other canister filter. (all this and I got it used) |
