Which To Go For

[haich]

i am looking to get a filter for my 40 gal but am torn between fluval and eheim ive read that eheim is the way to go but just dont know any advice?

like most money is an issue also i would like the tank over filter in case i want to upgrade tanks in the future plus so i can squeeze in a few more fish

any advice appreciated

if u were going with ehiem, i wud go with ehiem powerballs (the green ones with balls in) ur tank size wud probably need the 2 one out of 4, have a look: http/www.eheim.de/eheim/inhalte/index.js...tail_27481_ehen

Hello,

After asking people on this site and other LFS, the eheim filters seem to come out tops..


See the latter part of This thread

I went for Eheim 2026 Professional II - with media for £99.95.. for my 47 gallon tank... which was quite a good bargain.. you can order online or via the phone..

Only set it up last night, so cant comment on it much yet.. apart from the tank looked a bit clearer already this morning ;-)

Cheers

I would say Eheim, only because thats what I have and find it spot on

Agree with Soggy and Squid - Eheim every time.

V reliable, run forever, silent and easy to maintain. Get the biggest you can afford though - your bound to buy a bigger tank - we all do!
