Review on 🔍 Optimized Search: Classic 600 Canister Filter 2217 by Holly Haman

Use for a freshwater cichlid aquarium in parallel with a soil filter powered by two small AquaClear 30 pumps The Eheim Canister Filter has a great design, I use the canister filter in combination with an Aqua Advantage 8W UV pendant which gives about the right amount of power for this unit (16W would be nice). also fit). A major advantage of the classic Eheim is its ultra-simple canister design with no compartments or modules. They pack your filter media in any order or combination, and water is forced to flow through them. The Eheim uses significantly less power than the Fluval FX6 I have on another tank, but the effective flow rate between the two seems much closer than the specs say. 2262 would be a good choice for really big tanks, but 2217 will do for a 90g tank. For tanks from 125g to 180g I would just use (2) 2217. I really wish they would gradually improve on their classic design: specifically 1) replace the small metal fasteners with stronger and more secure latches than screws (they can loosen or even break over time) and 2) redesign the point where the inlet fitting is attached to the canister (stressing the tubes can put enough rotational force on them to cause slow leaks - so watch the tubes!).
