So found a guy selling a used Eheim 2260 got an entire setup spray bar, hoses, clamps, suction cups, intake/return THE WORKS FOR ONLY 75$$$, So Add about 50$ for the media and here i go, I know, your all jealous:) So here it is setup and running in my tank Im still amazed at how much water this thing moves even with it being stocked with
9 Litres of Ehfimech
3 Litres of Ehfifix
3 Litres of Ehfi Substrat
and the rest filled with Ehfisynth
And she still pumps as much as my similarly stocked FX5

So here are the pics, im just hoping that i will not have to touch this thing for the next 5-6 months.

Canisters are easy to set up and use. For cleanup, I usually check once a month. Replace the charcoal and rinse the sponge with a bucket of tank water. Simple as that.

Canisters are very easy to use, and can be found quite easily. What brand are you looking to get?
