I use an Eheim 2229 Wet/Dry and a 2028 pro II on my 125g and twin Fluval 303s on my 55g. I love the pro II the Wet/Dry is nothing but trouble.


why do you say the eheim wet dry is trouble :?
 
The impeller shaft broke and when i replaced it i found out that it had chewed up the inside of the impeller. My new imeller is on the way hopefully that's the last problem. I'm not saying it's a bad filter It does a great job when it works and i know it's probably my fault it broke in the 1st place, but a lot of lfs' in my area don't carry the parts.
 
Filstar and ehiem work great for small tanks. For a big tank though, I like ocean clear or pentair aquatics with an external pump alot better.
 
i have both eheim professionals and filstar xp's--the noise difference i read about in reviews i find negliable---flow rate is awesome in xp's but i wonder if that comes at the cost of bypass ----it's too bad eheims are so much more cause they're almost silent ,but next purchase at more than half the price and such good flow rate ---is a xp 3,all i know is that i won't buy another fluval.i've used a eheim wet dry 2229 for 6 monthes without a flaw.i have the ocean clear 375 with uv--the filter is great i have it hooked to a 790 gph blue line in my 180--but should of researched uv's more with a 18 watt bulb the flow rate is too great to be effective---correct me if i'm wrong thks rollerboy244
 
i would be interested to know if the eheim professional III 2080 is available in North America 1700 l/h output 12L volume/1.5L prefilter volume
2 intake lines ,1 output ( eheim pro II 2028 is 750 l/h 7.3 l volume )
 
what about JEBO ? are they any good ? Just going from a 55 to a 90 gallon tank. Need better filtration. Inexpensive (have to watch what I buy) and I need it to be good. Are Jebo's any good? or should I just stick to my hang on the back filters. have a 660 penguin and a Whisper30. Susie :shakehead
