Wanted! External Canister Filter

[smegforbrains]

Does anyone have a spare Fluval 204/304 or Eheim 2223/2226 knocking around they don't need any more?

Or anything similar?


Cheers in advance

Is this any good to you?

Must admit I have never heard of that brand. any pics?

 

[MartinS]

None yet, but will do some tonight.
Did find a pic from another ad on Aquarists classifieds...HERE
Also found some reviews HERE
As you can see, it looks a lot like an Eheim! Model is the UJ3338
Will get some done and send them over tomorrow.

Is media compatible with Eheim? I've not seen any Atman media for sale

 

[MartinS]

Any media will do - it has the same filter sections, so you could add the ceramic tubes and a coarse sponge (should be the same size as the larger Eheim 2028), some loose media in the middle and the top, with filter floss to top it all.

I'll have a word with the wife and see if I can get any pocket money

As promised, some pics.
It does actually come with a few ceramic rings in the base tray, but the middle tray is full of Eheim media (the brown balls), so you'll only need the coarse sponge, some ceramic rings and something for the top tray.
As stated, you'll need to spend a few quid on a new ceramic shaft and/or rubber end caps, but apart from that, it's a powerful filter that would suit any deent sized tank.

Thanks
