magnum vs eheim

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
mag 350 you could pack it with diatom powder or use the pleated filter to polish water and i dont care what any one says they are the work horses of the canister filters theres nothing fancy about them and the people i know that have love em they just dont quit
 
I don't really consider the magnum a canister, it's definitely more of a hob. In fact it's filtration is very similar to that of a ac110, in the mold of a pure mechanical/chemical filter. The eheim is mainly a biological filter that is suited for a larger tank due to it's large media capacity and super eheim filter media. Just choose what your tank needs.

I love my magnum! I do not think I would have gone with any other filter at the time... Especially for the price.

That is why you need to get the Pro system, comes with 2 huge biowheels with spraybars! Then fill the chemical container with biomedia and viola! Btw, the eheim filter media can be used in any filter, so I do not think that you should have included that when you were stating the advantages.

Also, marineland parts as SUPER easy to find, eheim ones, however, are almost impossible and amazingly overpriced.
 
how is the flow on a 350 is it powerful? does it not come with spray bars if you buy the regular one?
