i finally got a 2180 pro 3 imported from germany so i thought id give ppl my thoughts on it as i dont think anyone else on here has one yet i may be wrong though 
first thing i noticed about it was its huge size this filter is bigger than some pond filters ive seen! ill put some pictures up at the end of this post where it will be next to an aqua qube 40 and an eheim 2128 proII just so ppl can compare the actual size to something they might know of
ive actually had to cut a hole in my stand to fit it underneath the tank it really is that big! one the pictures it is sat on the floor not the stand i have to stress that!
the flow rate on this filter is quite phenominal its enough to push your hand back very easily ill assume the 2080 is the same.
the main problem i had was getting both inlets to fill up they just didnt want to do it no matter what i tried! inthe end ive had to put both inlets right next to each other and made one longer and the other short so at least there pulling water from different levels if nothing else
ive only had the filter fully set up for 2 hours or so but the i can see a difference in the water already ill post again tomorrow when its had a good amount of running time
