Great product, suitable for aquarium pumps and filters

I think this is the best filter on the market. The two downsides that come to mind are the massive price tag and the fact that it doesn't come with the media required.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • I'll write later

Absolutely silent! for Aquarium Pumps and Filters

Eheim make amazing quality products. This filter is very powerful, durable and absolutely silent in operation. The built-in heater is a great feature.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Useless Features

Great heated filter. Low maintenance and very quiet operation

I've had this filter for about 4 months now and it's a great filter. Easy installation and very quiet operation. The heating works perfectly, the temperature does not fluctuate. I keep a 110 gallon aquarium with mostly cichlids so filtration and circulation are important.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • boring packaging

Excellent biological filter

Love it! I've had it for several years with no problems. I have found that it works best as a biological filter and does not require chemical filtration. Every few months I change the disposable filter element to avoid unnecessary stress on the pump and I clean the heating element, but other than that I just leave it alone. If you want a crystal clear aquarium, do regular partial water changes and get a good reverse osmosis filter to put on the tank overnight once a week.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Nothing here

This is a good quality filter and works well

This is a good quality filter and works well. If you're thinking about buying this filter, you already know that. This is more of a rating of ehimes customer service. I emptied my filter last week to clean it because it was necessary and to my great surprise and disappointment it would not start and run. After trying for a day and not getting a response, I contacted Ehiem customer service for help. I did it with great trepidation because I heard that their customer. The service is not very…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Very expensive

So far so good with Eheim Pro 3 2180

Just received the Eheim Pro 3 2180, the setup looked very complicated at first and it was a bit difficult to follow the instructions at first. With all the parts assembled, the next task was to fill the filter. Let me give you some tips that I thought worked. This filter has 2 air inlets, one I placed next to the filter (at one end of my 250 gallon aquarium) and the other at the other end. The one closest to the tank filled up with no problem, but I had time to move the farthest one so it was…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
