Ummm, yeah, don't get me wrong, I have had the 204 for almost 9 years now, and besides replacing the worn out impeller, it has given me no issues. But it was waaaaay overdue to upgrade my pal's filter. This thing is huge!!!
anybody ever tried the media bags? I was thinking in getting some, to make cleaning easier, but they're 10 bucks, and I read a review that they suck.

The problem with the 2217, is that unlike my previous 2213, in which all the media is in a basket, that you can just pull out, it is just loose son its a pain to clean.
I thought that this media bags will make it much easier, just pull it off, rinse it, and then put it in again, but what I heard is that they rip easily.
have three running in line on a 135 for over a year know, not a bit of a problem and the water stays crystal clear.
Love them classic filters. I have a 2215 on my 37 gallon and i have crystal clear water. Been running this set up for about half a year with no problem.

I will NEVER run an Eheim classic without a media bag. It makes maintenance half the effort. The media bags are the way to go. I use them in all 4 of my FX5's as well.
ps - glad your happy Joe!
A couple people have told me to just buy a bag designed for washing delicates in instead of buying $10 media bags. They're supposed to be half the price, or less. I keep meaning to try it, but never remember to pick one up. The couple times I've had to remove media, I just pour the whole canister out into a colander over a bucket. It's not a big deal. If you lay it sideways and scoop it out with your hands instead of just pouring it, it's easy to keep the different medias separated.

I love my 2217. Best filter I've ever even. As long as the size is appropriate, I'd take an eheim classic over any other filter on the market. I think you'll be happy with it!
