I bought an Eheim classic

[Harryfor54]

Hello everybody I just bought a second hand Eheim External classic. On the sticker at the top it is called a 2015 and is 540 L/H l. I can't find anything about this filter online it just comes up the 250 and the 350. Just wondered if any of you's have used this before? It's on a juwel lido 120 with 5 l129's, corries and guppies so just wondering if it will be good enough?

Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the 2015 is the older model of the 2215 version which is now called the 350! Hopefully the filter is running well for you as I fear some mechanical parts for the 2015 are no longer available. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the impeller for the 2215/350 will not work on the older 2015 model but I can't verify it personally.

The 2015 filter should be just fine for your tank.

Thank you very much. And yes the filter is running decent. The flow rate is a bit slow but it's probably because I've packed it with media and using a larger spray bar than what it came with.

The flow on the classics are pretty weak, unless you get the 2272. The Classics are great filters, even with out media the 2215 (now called the 350) the flow is not great. You may be able to but a 2217 impeller in it and make it flow more.
