Unknown Eheim Canister Q's??

[Trimackeeper]

I got this filter w/ my 250gal tank, i can't find any info
on it or parts,.. Eheim model#1034,..75watt,..38 l/min.
Has 2 pumps,.one for in, one for out? The canister is the
same size as a 5gal bucket,has 2 trays, but i think there
were more,..looking for info on gph rate, and any hands
on info,..

I have seen that pump before but wasn't to sure if it was a Eheim. I run all eheims on my tanks but as previous state that does look like FX5 setup!

That is sweet! Closest thing I know of would be the older eheims. I dug through my collection of old magazines and found this ad. The magazine is dated 1974! I'm eheim green with envy that you wound up with what I would consider a holy grail find. Looks like you got the biggest one they made. Rated for 750g which would be less than half that by todays standards, but still a divine workhorse piece of equipment (if it's an eheim).

Wow that is old (1974) I hope it does the Job for that Big tank!!

Looks like a killer filter. With two pumps you should be able to get some good gph even in a deep tank but if it were me I'd add a bit more filtration anyway. Do both pumps work?

btw, welcome to mfk

32lpm = 600 GPH with that filter

Thanxs for the info & welcome!! Yes they both hum when i plugged
them in,..i haven't tried the canister w/ water yet,..both pumps say
Eheim with a model#1034,..canister also says Eheim Made in Germany
on it.

Also, you guys think one pump is for in and the other for out? Or
is one just a replacement pump? Trying to figure it out so i can
test this beast,...thanxs for all the help.

Thats freaking awesome!

I would guess it's an extra pump.
In on bottom, out on top.
