Opinions on Eheim Pro 3E 2078

[WyldFya]

The 2078 holds far less media than the 2080.

2080

1700 LPH
12L media + 1.5L pre-filter

​

2078

1850 LPH
8L media + .6 pre-filter
​

Hope the 2078 is good for mechanical. When I got the FX5 I was torn between that and the 2080 but since I use the 2229 Wet/ Dry I didn't need to have 3 intakes in my 75.

i also have the pro 3 2028 the mech problem is easy to sort out just buy a presurised pond bucket and put it on one of the intake pipes on the pro 3 before it gets to the filter then you have a whole mech filter the size of the fx5 just one big sponge

The 2028 is actually a pro 2, the predecessor to the pro 3, and pro 3e. A hydro sponge over each intake of an eheim will make the 1000% better in the mech filtration end.

i ment the 2080 pro 3 sorry iwhich eheim say is good enouth for a tank of 1000l

this is what i cant work out the dimention of the 2076 are the same as a 2080 on the ehiem asia link posted the size of the 2076 is the same as 2080 with a slower pump 1600lph and is ok for a tank of 400l

the 2078 their are no sizes but it has a 184lph pump but its only good for a tank 700l

if this is down to it having more mech filtration then it shows how rubbish the fx5 is as its just mech with no bio media

a pond bucket do a serch for blagoon cyclone 5000 as they are type i use

The 2076 is far smaller than the 2080. My 2078 is nearly the same height but only 1/2 the width and length. The 2076 is shorter than the 2078 by a good few inches. The new Pro3es are just monsters of filters. I have been incredibly impressed by the upgrades made.

i havent seen the filters so i dont know its just the 2078 has a higher turn over than a 2080

so the dimentions on the eheim asia site must be wrong as the state the 2076 as 330x330 which is the same as the 2080

 

[WyldFya]

I'd say the 2076 is approximately 13"x13"X24". The 2076 is a vast difference in size compared to the 2080. It is approximately the same size as a 2028, maybe a little shorter.
