set-up instructions for eheim 2226 and 2227

[el wad]

I recently purchased a tank with assorted accessories, and the filters that came with the set-up are the above mentioned models.

I want to run them, but the problem is that I haven't ever owned an eheim anything, and all the parts are pretty confusing to the uninitiated. There are no instructions.

Does anyone have any idea where I can find an instruction manual for these models? I really don't wanna just guess it out if I don't have to.

As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I don't have any experience with those two particular models...

Not common for me not to have experience with any eheim filter. If you post a pic of the parts/filter, I can walk you through it, or many of our other members will also be able to help.

I was ponted to a website that you can download manuals from. I too have never touched an eheim....these came with the tank I bought.

There's a website with an exploded parts diagram kind of showing how a 2226 goes together here if it's any help.

I have tons of experience with Eheim filters, I've run all except the pro 1 models.

they are like greek to me. so many twisty green tubes.

I remember back when I was a kid, all I wanted was one of these things...the tubes looked so important and scirntific somehow.

Nowadays they just seem like a pain in the

Heard nothing but good things tho', and can't wait to form my own opinion.

Hope everything starts working out well for you. Eheim makes some amazing filters.

I'm sure it'll be fine. With the handy downloadable instructions, what could go wrong? heh heh.

While we're at it, thanks for being the voice of reason on the other thread. Much appreciated.

You better knock on wood fast! Everytime I say something like 'what could go wrong?' everything does go wrong!
