Mark Webb said:I am considering filtration for a 1000 litre setup. First option is the 2180, only reservation is the weight of it. Is it manageable when full with water? Considering if I might be better with 2 smaller Eheims?
Themuleous said:I think the 2078 is the new version of the 2080 if so, I've got the 2080 and its pretty heavy.
Maidenhead Aquatics have also brought out their own range of externals, the AquaManta EFX range. The 600 has a reported 2200lph flow and from what I've seen of them in the shop they aren't massive like the FX5.

I've not managed to see one of these in action yet so cant comment on noise, hopefully MA have done some R&D on that front.

Maybe this will help:
2078

2080
http://www.eheim.de/eheim/inhalte/index ... 27575_ehen

As for the output flow eg 1700 lph for the 2080 - yes 1700 lph is achievable with "NO" media, I send an email to Ehiem regarding the actual output once full of media - their reply was: Not able to comment / pass this information onto me.
