Do NOT rinse the CHEMIPURE after it is in service. I open the filter every 6 weeks or so, and rinse and re-use everything but Charcoal. Then top off with Blue Foam pad you can get in Bulk Uncut Sheets, then trim to fit a piece for the top layer.Īll of this media is only about $40-$50 when ordered online.Ībout every 4-8 weeks, open the filter, replace the carbon, or if using the CHEMIPURE replace every 3-4 months. A cheap canister packing I recomend and use is:ģ Gallons of the Bio-Bale Shaved PVC Strandsġ.8 Liters of the MairineLand Black Diamond Charcoal or (4) Bags of Boyd's CHEMIPURE Benefits of EHEIM classic external filter Millionfold tried and tested Exceptional value for money very quiet running low. The media for the canister can be expensive. Regardless of which you buy, the block valves for intake and discharge are a MUST to have. Eheim Classic 2260 External Filter Tubing 16/22mm 4005943. Eheim 2260 External Filter Classic Tubing 25/34mm 4007940 per Metre. If your doing planted tank or community tetra/livebearer type tank, I would go with the 2260 all the way to about 300 gallons. Eheim (4005530) 2260 External Filter Classic Hose Clamps.
If you doing a Cichlid tank that is over 150 gallons then the only way to go is Eheim 2262. If your picking between the two, it would depend on tank and stock size. This will cost you more money, than just buying the Eheim 2262 straight out.īoth of these canisters are awesome filters. But, in order to have the higher flowrates you will need the Eheim 1262 pump. If you buy the 2260, and then the block valves, which is a must on any Eheim Classic Canister, you will save money. Thanks Tim, for the vote of confidence 8)
