So i have a 150gallon right now... with moderate amount of tankmates..

Two Silver Arowana at 15", a fei feng, 2 FH and 5 exotic plecos..
I decided that my EHEIM 2234 and AC 110 is not getting the enough bioload the tank should deserve..

So i was wondering if anyone uses EHEIM Pro II and what they feel about them? I know they use more Energy than Pro IIIs but the 2080 came with a nice deal.. a spare 2128 So thats what i have now..

Anyone uses a PRO II?
 
I DO!! lol
i have two 2028's on my 100. i absolutely love em, relaly good for bio filtration, and use quilt batting for mech. media(much cheaper) i have ceramic rings on the bottom with the blue spnge, the second with all sub. pro and the top tray with half sub pro and quilt batting. i also dont use the spray bars, my aro likes it with out it.

My favorite canister of all.
There on sale at kensfish.com 2026-$160 2028 $205
 
I have Eheim 2028 Pro II and 2026 Pro II. I don't have much of a complain here other than their quick release o-ring can cause a drip leak once the rubber is old. I bought a new o-ring from Lowes and it is running like a champ again. I'm very picky with my canister filters and I only recommend XP3 and Eheim 2028. Wait for Petsmart.com to run a 20% discount special and apply the coupon code. This will be the lowest price you can get. You can find canister reviews here.

Ehiem doesn't make crappy filters.

If you can afford to use them, they're always my second choice to a full sump, even then I still like ehiem's return pumps
 
i agree eheim are the best i have 2217,2250,2260,2262,2028 people compare eheim 2260 and 62 with fx5, no comperasing eheim way above quality, desing etc.
 
I have a 2028 on my 150gal. as well as a cascade 1200 and two AC110. Not only is it almost completely silent but has now become my favorite filter. This filter is designed to force the water THROUGH the media and not surround it like most canisters. I'm sure you won't regret your purchase.
