Piece of garbage. Parts are expensive and hard to get. If you have a problem with it, and you will, you will be left without a filter for long time. Way overpriced. Go with the FX5.
Really? intresting....I have an FX5 I bought last week..I think it is good..Not Great..cool about you review...thanks..I'll take it under consideration!tank125;2830572;2830572 said:
I'm sure you're gonna hear both good and bad about the eheim 2080. Never owned one myself as for the 2028, they seem to need the main seal replaced alot. I have a 2026 that will leak all over the place when the filter is off.
My veiw is that the eheims are not readily available. If you have a rena or fluval quit on ya, you can easily run to the local petsmart and replace it if needed. Myself I just run all XP3s(6 running, 1 spare), since you already have one FX5 may be best just to go with another.

yea imma rena head myself! I have Xp2 XP4's but I gave the FX5 a try to see whats all the hype.. but my boy was saying about the eheim's..I was thinking about it..I here there great canisters..but like you said it all depends on the user...it could be fantastic or it can be crappy..my rena's never crapped on me...and the FX5 is doing fine.....Thanks for you input...Bderick67;2830664;2830664 said:
I have a 2180 (2080 with heater). It is ok but if I were to do it again I would have just went with a couple of XP4's instead.
I run a Eheim 2078 on my 125gal and it runs solo for over a year with no problems. The only thing I do is replace pads cause they wear out. I ran it straight for like 6months before I clean it. They may be $$$ but they are worth it. I also just pick up a FX5 and love. The only reason for the FX5 is the price was right and the volume it does is awesome.
Yea. I know.. I was doing some research on parts and wow they are pricey....I saw that the inlet outlet piece coast $40.00!!!! Holy toledo!!!
