Eheim Electronic Filter Discussion

[Antipofish]

Well I now have this filter and it is very quiet. There is no real noise difference between min and max flow settings, if you have your ear next to the filter you do notice it speeding up but from say a metre away, or with the cabinet doors closed there is effectively no noise at all!

There is also no vibration which is good because being inside the cabinet is effectively like being inside a hifi speaker, it seems to amplify noise/vibration.

I am not using any media (except for a bag of purigen and a bag of carbon).

Cool, which model did you go for ?

Eheim 2078 Professional 3e 700 Filter

I had been trying not to get another filter but instead, simply use a 2000lph pump. This was working well for a few days and then my co2 reactor exploded dumping 20 litres of water all over my living room floor of my brand new house Lucky the inlet pipe reached just below the surface or it would have been 300 litres!
