Great instructions! I just set up my Pro4 + 350 and this video made it super easy. Thank you!

@mandalorion 7 лет назад

I've got one of these arriving tuesday, after my 2 year old cheap cannister met it's maker. This video will be invaluable, thank you.

@Tjita1 7 лет назад

I have an old Professional 1 I bought used on my 70 liter. I had to replace the main seal, other than that it's worked like a charm. On my 300 liter I have a Fluval FX4, though (which is also great if you rearrange the media a little and add some extra.).

@SurprisedPikacheesecake 6 лет назад

I want one of these soooo badly. Very helpful video for when I do make the plunge!

@jaybui7506 6 лет назад

I purchased one (4+ 600) and it has been running. I didn't like the out flow tube and replaced with penn plax in order more directional control. It works great keeps my 90 gals crystal clear/clean.

I'm still tanking with my 2217 classic because it's better than anything before or since. By the way, Thomas- you were right about keeping spare impellers on hand. Even mighty Eheim filters need new impellers every once in a while. Cheers!

@darrencuk665 6 лет назад

Would this filter be ok in a 20 gallon I have been looking at one for my new tank it there a way of slowing the flow rate

@prodromosapostolou5123 6 лет назад

Hello!!! Excellent video :) I have 1 question!! if i purchase the proper enheim filter and 1 thermometer for my aquarium shall i need any other equipment ie (equipment for oxygen) for the normal functioning of my aquarium?

@ninzie90 6 лет назад

Hello! So I just bought a professionel 4+ 600 for my Juwel rio 300 but watching this video it kind of seems that the tube that's included are way to short if you want to have the in and out on different sides of the aquarium. Am I mistaken or do I need to get an extra tube?

@not_zizou 5 лет назад

Hi thomas nice video ive a question which side should i put am eheim liberty 200 canister filter in addition to my pro4. 250 the intake or outake side ¿ thank you

@freshfalcon3996 7 лет назад

I notice that on the classic series, the intake is at the very bottom of the canister, and the out tube is at the top. This makes sense, because you want your water to enter at the bottom, go up through all of the filter media, and then exit at the top. This new filter looks like it has the water come in at the top and also exit at the top. Does the water actually go through all the media? Or was the old design better.

@neomaxmaya 7 лет назад

Hi Thomas, are Canister filters only good for fresh water tanks? or could be also used for saltwater? And if yes for saltwater, what advantage do they have over a regular media/carbon/GFO reactor?Thanks

@jaycox4855 5 лет назад

Why do I keep getting air going trough mine makes a lot of noise until it passes through, have tried everything like out take not near air stones, draining the system but is hard to re prime, would the fact I've got a uv set up be the cause?

@ngc-fo5te 5 лет назад

How do you know the extender is set up correctly? It just seems to rotate internally and it looks like you can set it up back to front and so when you think you are not using the extender you in actuality are doing.

@ulises3259 5 лет назад

Whats the size of the tubing? 5/8 or 1/2?

What’s the difference between the 250t pro and the 250t experience?

@PetPhotographyUK 6 лет назад

Useful video, thanks. Can the on/off lever be used to control flow, or does that put a strain on the motor?

@BigAlsVOD 6 лет назад

Yes, the lever can be used to reduce the flow and increase the flow. The unit has been made specifically to allow the user to increase or reduce the flow.

@PetPhotographyUK 6 лет назад

Thanks.

@razontobacco7635 6 лет назад

I have an eheim 4 + filter, but after a few months, the flow adjustment goes empty and the red button can not push it, is it blocked? What can I do? Can I fix it myself? It's under warranty, but if I send it back it will be left without an aquarium filter! Can you help me with some advice?

@perriman31 6 лет назад

what about the knob to the right? what does it do and what's the right setting? Saw the whole video only to find there's no mention to it.

Dear Thomas, eheim says That you should spray the hoseblock with eheim siliconespray, helps getting it out the next time.(mine broke in half)

@eh_leiser5250 7 лет назад

Uggghh.. I wish you would ship to Germany. It sucks that I can't get your maintenance kit where I live..

@jamescourtney2446 6 лет назад

Hey is any part of the filter carbon? I was told to remove carbon from my filter before treating with general cure....I have two of these running but I'm not sure if they come stock with carbon..maybe the white pad?

@amnscottnn5481 6 лет назад

James Courtney no they do not. You can add it as an option.

@cascasoldier 4 года назад

Can I add fish now or do I need anything else?

@gordonchristensen8143 6 лет назад

I want the spray bar going the length of the aquarium not the width. How is that accomplished? 46 gallon bow front aquarium, looks like spray bar is too long.

@ENDLESS-bu3ly 6 лет назад

where is your store located

@bennewton3560 6 лет назад

canisters are more expensive than hand on I have a 100 Litre tank what should I go for?

@tferfon2672 5 лет назад

The output sprayer connection is straight not turned to where the hook sit on the side rather than the back. How can we curve it. The hook being on the side is no an option for me. The hose doesn't seem long enough for a big tank.

@randy1817 6 лет назад

I have 2 Questions. In what position is the extender on for normal flow? I'm assuming it's to the left? If so, when it's on normal flow would the 2 holes on the inside be covered?

@howlinhauler 5 лет назад

He left out the important part . If you set the extender wrong, your bypassing the bio filter. Total waste.

make more videos which focus on specific fish types and how to care for them, whether they're for beginners or not. And other tips/tricks for aquarium maintenance. And please make sure Thomas makes all the videos, the others are really boring

@oxiplasty 6 лет назад

Are they quiet ? :)

@ashraftaker5058 7 лет назад

which is better : canister filer or hang back filter . i am confused between these two and wish if some one can help .i am looking for something that keep my tank clean and easy when clean

@ashraftaker5058 7 лет назад

Thomas B thanks for response . one more question : so which qanister filter in your openion is a best . we have different brand and for what i saw Eheim is germany company so i prefare is good product . can you give me your suggestion ?

@NamNguyen-yt4sb 7 лет назад

Big tank or heavily stock tank: cannister is the way to go. Small tank or lightly stock tank: Hang On Back is the way to go. Why: Cannister filter provides more space for filter media which usually means more beneficial bacteria. But remember, the amount of bacteria is not gonna get bigger just because you have more media, it also relies on the amount of live stock you put in your tank. Also, cannister filters are more expensive and can cause leaking. Hang on back filters are cheap, easy to maintance and will provide you with just the amount of bacteria that you need for a small or lightly stock tank. But If you had the money for it, go for a good cannister filter from eheim or fluval (the one in this video is actually a pretty good one).

@ashraftaker5058 7 лет назад

thanks for information , i think i will go with eheim canister

@ilenastarbreeze4978 6 лет назад

you can also do sponge filters which i find are great and cheap options, that do mechanical and arobic (if im remembering correctly) bacteria which takes ammonia and makes nitrite , and nitrite to nitrate, it does not support anaerobic bacteria which is capable of removing nitrate which if you have good media it is possible to do

@swatkat1740 6 лет назад

Mean spary bar

@alma.702 5 лет назад

Would this work for a 50 gallon tank? Is it easy to clean? Is it QUIET? ?

@echoes1891 5 лет назад

5 months late but I find it to be quiet, easy to clean? well it takes some effort but it's not complicated..

@j.leeacupunctureclinic3561 6 лет назад

If I want to add Purigen, which trey should I put on???

@BigAlsVOD 6 лет назад

Top tray after the biological media and under the filter floss.

@Luffy-fw8id 7 лет назад

why is the mechanical media on top does the water go from top to bottom and to the tank ? cause for most of the filter i have seen the machanical media goes to the bottom

@ericdickey6523 7 лет назад

Canister Filters have to have water inflow from the bottom up because of the intake and outtake being right next to each other.

@Luffy-fw8id 7 лет назад

thanks for the information

@Luffy-fw8id 7 лет назад

Thomas B thanks for the reply

@usualsuspect2818 6 лет назад

I have the same question, and none of those replies answered it, with all my canisters, water goes straight to the bottom and is THEN pulled up though the media, I don't see how that works with the eheim? Does it flow straight on top of the media down through the canister then sucked up from where? I don't understand..

@Grintchish 6 лет назад

I'm a little confused about the water flow also. I get that it goes through the coarse filter on top first but then where? Down the sides and up through the middle? It's important to know so you can set up the media correctly.The problem I see with this setup is that the coarse sponge can only stop a small amount of dirt and it looks like all the rest goes through the bio media which will clog it up fast. Then there's a fine sponge on top when it should be at the bottom.

@Luffy-fw8id 7 лет назад

JJ Aquariums I haven't got a tank yet but planning to get one about 30 gallon

@dereklatham6800 6 лет назад

cheaply made, ceramic impeller sleeve snaps , and the impeller pump cover tabs are wafer thin and snap off

@davidcarey5428 5 лет назад

Absolutely, I was very disappointed I have a rock background and hood for tank so there goes the spray bar and how do you suction cup the intake to that? And like you said everything is cheaply made So I'll sell it on Craigslist for half of what I paid and buy a fluval they never disappoint.

@cadenhamm7359 7 лет назад

What if I want to use it for a 20 gallon

@amnscottnn5481 6 лет назад

@brianmedeiros417 6 лет назад

Crappy design. The spray bar tube shouldn’t have to be hung from the side of the tank.

@PsychoFisho 6 лет назад

Orient the spray bar so water is propelled sideways instead of forward. Obviously that was the intent of the design. More of the water's surface area is agitated going sideways rather than back to front anyhow (unless you have a cube tank).
