Best Eheim

[jft]

2217 eheims I have six on various tanks 15 plus yrs w/o a problem best out there in my opinion, quiet, great filter and you can use any media .

2260 has been discontinued... you think parts will stay available as i hear these filters can last a very long time(why replace if it works) how you like your pro 2 blue2?

really? where did yu hear this man? if this is true, i wonder if the 2250 line has been discontinued as well.

it says it on a couple web sites and others have it listed as backorder.... :/

You could get the 2262, which is a 2060 with the larger 1262 pump. These seem to be readily available and this badboy would be plenty of flow for your tank. It also comes with the quick-disconnects which the 2060 does not. It's not cheap, but it's an Eheim classic, and would probably last you 10+ years, it'd be virtually silent and would be plenty of filtration for your tank.

I have a ehime 2128 pro 2 w/built in heater that has been a great filter. No noise easy to clean. The only problem I have had is the main o-ring leaked one time. I fixed it by lubing it with plumbers grease. Ehime is one of the best you can buy. Also customer service is very good.

its comes with all that extra for 249.. dr. fosters is 279 with nothing... i know you guys were saying classic, but you think thats a good deal? everyone loves them!! i could run 2 of these? or one 2262... i mean if one did break one would still be running...

I think you would be best with an UGF.

i would run one(if i wasn't going with sand bottom) with the eheim(ugf is just a hook up) i end up choosing but i'm unsure which filter i'm going to get.

some people have had bad luck with UGF's but i have had good experiances(i used large substrate though...)
