Eheim external filter 2211
EDIT 'cause I forgot the price
£25 inc postage
Complete with one set of taps on the pressure side (output), there are no taps or pipe for the input side but that is std Eheim 16mm pipe. Needs a new seal ring (Eheim part number 7272658) which is about £2 from any Eheim dealer such as http
/www.fishandfins.co.uk/Eheim-spare.htm (note this seller has no links with fish&fins, this was the first link Google threw up).
This filter is designed for tanks up to 39 imp gallons, the Eheim 2211 canister filter has a pump output of 78 imp gallons per hour and filter circulation of 62 gallons per hour. The volume of the filter is 0.26 imp gallons and it uses 5 watts of electricity.
The Eheim 2211 canister filter can be used with many different types of filter media. A mechanical filter such as Ehfimech can be used in the base of the canister. Ehfimech is a good choice for mechanical filtering. It is made of ceramic tubes which effectively trap large debris and also provide an environment for the beneficial bacteria that are necessary for the health of any aquarium. Ehfimech also serves to agitate the water flow as it passes through the canister, allowing higher layers of media to perform more efficiently.
Other types of filter media that can be used in the Eheim 2211 canister filter include absorptive filters to remove substances like chlorine and medication residue and chemical filters to alter the quality of the water. Chemical filters are useful to create natural aquatic environments that your fish will thrive in.
Note: Eheim no longer make a filter this small but they do still make all spares and accessories for it, so buy knowing you can still run this for years to come.
