Eheim 2211

[Gnome]

is eheim 2211 good for 20 gallon tank?
is it the same with 2213? besides it comes in smaller size...
And where can I buy that thing (In US, OL perhaps?) coz I've search and found 2211 unavailable anywhere, except for oversea...I'm thinking about getting  the 2213 but it is too much since it suits for 39 gallon to 63 gallon....

there is no such thing as over filtration!.

If you can afford to get the one suited for a higher tank.. get it..

The only problem i can see if that the current caused by the higher water though put will cause a bit of turbulance.. so use the spray bar if you can and also

Yeppers i use an Eheim
Its the 2028

Only one problem with them if you axidentally empty out the input tube while cleaning and go to prime the bugger it wont prime because there to much back presure from the other output tube cause its still full of water )

Eheim filters are the "Best" canister filters you can get others will disagree but from all who i have talked to in australia they all have turned too Eheim after there filters have either been to much truble or broken down completly

so you always have that problem when cleaning your eheim?..I saw that the eheim has a priming kit aid, do you use that?...I guess I'll go for Eheim Ecco (2231 or 2233) which has built-in priming device. Thanks qc..BTW are you from oz? which part of oz?

No the emptying of the tube doesn't always happen it was my own fualt actually.. I turned off the filter and cleaned it then gravel vac and brought the water down half way (Needed a real good clean the aquarium did) anywho when i placed the filter back on and closed it up one tube emptyed (I hadn't filed up the aquarium at this point) so the thing wouldn't prime properly for me. anywho the way to fix it was to empty out the other tub which was easy.

Yep Yep i use the primer. wouldn't be with out it. Some people i know don't have one and they gotta fill it up them selfs horrible job!

Yeah I'm from australia, I live in Sydney.
Where abouts are you from?
