Oh man I took a leap and ordered an Eheim Pro 3 and Eheim media kit.... am I going to like it? haha
The online tracking says its on the local truck for delivery thismorning woohoo and its my day off so I have all day to play with it. I dunno why but the order was sent in 2 packages which both left the same warehouse on the same day at the same time. The media kit arrived days ago but the filter itself took a completely different route across the country.
This filter will be going on a 75 gal right now that is growing out a batch of young discus. At first glance it may be overkill but I hope not. This tank gets alot of heavy feedings and needs some very good filtration to keep up with water quality. It is currently filtered by 3 large sponge filters which seem to be struggling to keep up.
I don't even know if this thing is going to fit under the the tank....does anybody know? haha Its just a standard 75g pine wood stand about 2' tall.
Anyway I thought I would pop up a post here to ask for any tips/suggestions on setting this thing up? I know it comes with instructions but nothing beats hearing the experience and suggestions of those who have actually used one.
I thought maybe I read somewhere that the included hoses are just barely long enough and a person might want longer ones?
$500+ wow I hope this thing is nice haha
thx!
Rob
