EHEIM Ecco Pro External Canister Filter with Media

I got this filter after reading several reviews via the internet. I have to say I was impressed with how easy it was to get it setup. Including the time to wash all the parts I got it going in about half an hour and it has been working flawlessly. Deciding to include the media in the new model was a smart move on Eheim's part. Since there are only two baskets in this model you have to be careful how you pack them otherwise they will not lock properly. If you want to include an extra filter pad for example you will have to skim off other media as they will have to share the same basket.

It is quiet...in fact it is so much quieter than the hang on filter it replaced that my partner asked me if it was working! It does an infinitely better job of keeping the tank wanter clean as well.

The only complaint I have is that the hinges for the multipurpose handle are plastic. I would have thought that metal of some kind would provide a more sturdy setup. (I mention this because while I was doing maintenance the handle actually popped off and I noticed it then). Otherwise it's been a flawless performer in the month and a half I've had it.

Opposed to some of the larger filters, like the cheaper, magnum 350 for example... you get much more thorough water filtration in an extremely well-designed package. The filter is whisper quiet. My Marineland bio-wheel 330 is noisier. Maintenance is incredibly easy and the handle-priming system works very well. You can even turn the flow rate down via the inlet valve on the canister depending on your applicatiton. It holds FOUR large baskets of filter media. Setup was extremely easy for me. Start to finish... about 25 minutes (washing the media, cutting hoses to length, filling up the media baskets w/ included media, etc...). I want to convert my other tanks to Eheim Ecco. No disappointments here.

I have had mine for 8 years. Zero problems other than having to replace the impeller once on one. Quiet and they just run and run and run!

I have TWO of them on my 75 gal planted tank and alternate cleaning them so that only one is cleaned every 3 months. I change the pre filter material and don't touch the bacteria medium.

I have been using the same Eheim canister filter since 1984 or 1985. It has never, ever broken down. It is in use today and still quiet as a church mouse. I bought my second Ecco Pro recently. With my old canister still going strong I knew I could trust the Ecco Pro. Both are easy to use but the Ecco Pro is so easy I would encourage anyone new to the hobby to buy one for their tank. I have fresh water planted tanks with perfect balance so my fish are healthy and happy. The Ecco Pro just needs to be set up and "seasoned". Once the media is colonized with the helpful bacteria all you need to do is some simple maintenance. Always rinse with your aquarium water, never tap water as the chemicals will kill the helpful bacteria. These filters are the Gold Standard!

I am very happy with this filter, I use it in my 12G Nano reef. The water has never looked this clear before. Setup was easy, the quick setup guide had nice big pictures and text descriptions making it very easy to fallow, it also came with all the bio media. Three boxes of which I only used two to fill the baskets, now I have extra! Also the price was right.
