Eheim 2260 owners -- how much media?

[TheOscarGuy]

Could someone pls. tell me how much (by volume) your 2260 holds? I am interested in the *total* media; is it as much as 18 liters as posted here?:

My new 2260 has arrived, and I want to know how much media would I need to fill it completely.

18L is the proper amount.

Wow - that's amazing, it takes up a lot of media! Thanks a lot for the input.

I think all the (eheim) bio media I have is going to be used up in setting the new 2260, while I will need to order some more for the other FX5.

Thanks again.
