I was reading a post the other day of an eheim from 1974 still going today, i just want to know how many other filter beside eheim will be running for that period of time.
Its amaizing to read about people giving advice about what filter its the right for me based in the solo experience of owning one brand or one typical model, i remenber when i started in the hobby i bought stuff asking other people opinions, to find out what was the best value for the money and now i realize it was a mistake, i wasted money buying filters that i was not happy until i got my first eheim, never look back.
Eheim are well build, reliable, quiet very important for some people, eheims are the best filters and no question about that, people who owns eheim don't have to worry about their fish but enjoy it, not to come home an worked on the filtration so often or replace parts.
I not going to mention brands and models of other filter but i remenber the frustrations,
time, etc. My suggestion for any one who wants to buy a filter read the bad reviews, then you will have a good picture.

I agree. "This filter is the best, but it is the only I have tried.: Says to me that this person doesn't know squat.


My experience with many different filters, the best are eheim, nu-clear, ocean clear, aqua clear.

I would agree there, but add Hydro Sponge filters.

The ehiem 2080 is a similar rating filter to the FX5, but IME a much better filter. The 2260, and 2262 are even bigger, and my personal preference for a big tank.
