If you rate on dependability, performance, and price, it is probably the best canister filter ever built.
Agreed. If you team them up with a high over turn mechanical filter like the aqua clear series you got a great set up.

:iagree:

Like good bourbon and a smoke.:D
 
I have two 2217's on my 90, great.
 
2217 is great... i run that with a FX5 and its been fantastic.... the only thing i would do extra with the 2217 is to add filter bags to the different substrates that came with it so you can pull it out and clean it to keep the flow rate good every so often.

Cheers

For those that have noticed a decrease in flow rate and have had their Eheim's running for over a couple of years, you might want to purchase a new impeller (<$20) and you might see a significant improvement.
