Good score!! Filter?

[Reel North]

I am picking up my 220 gallon tank on Tuesday after a long search. It comes with an eheim filter that "looks like a garbage can". The fellow says it is the biggest filter that eheim made at the time.

What is it, and what are the stats?

I also have 2 eheim 2028 filters that I will have on the tank as well.

I have done even more looking around - is it a 2260? Thats 560 gph!

The 2260 actually looks like a green 5 gallon pail with the pump mounted on top of the lid. I have this filter and really, really love it. If the pump is a model 1260, the pump output is 635 GPH @ 0 feet/head but when the filter is filled with Eheim recommended media & using original hose lengths, the filter circulation is 449 GPH.

Please post pics of your 'new' tank & filter when you get them.

Im pretty excited. My wife and I went to look at a big sale today at a local retailer, and although the prices were pretty good, we (she) have a baby coming in a month and a bit. I wanted to try to save some money, so I looked around and found a great 220 aquarium, with wood stand and canopy, this filter, heater, and 6 ft light.

I got a great deal on it, so I dont mind a little splurge now on a slimline background.

I will definitely post pics once i get it here, and detail the build a little
