Friday, December 2, 2011 Eheim ECCO External Canister Filter 2236 Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We've had aquatic turtles for about a year now, that we keep in a 75 gallon aquarium. (soon moving to a 125gal. tank) Anybody that keeps turtles knows how much work can be involved in keeping their tank clear and clean. When we first started we were unsure of what we needed to do the job but we knew we needed something that could keep up with the demand turtles require in water filtration. Our inquires at the local pet supply store led us to use a Fluval canister system. This is also a great system but after a short time we came to realize that it just wasn't enough so we went out and got a Marineland Magnum 350 to compliment the Fluval. Between the two the tank was adequately filtered, but cleaning the Magnum was a pain, the Fluval was a little easier but still not as user friendly as the Eheim. Because filtration was just adequate we started feeding the turtles in a separate smaller tank to try and minimize food and turtle feces from the main tank. This helped quite alot but we still required yet another filtration system as we had moved the Fluval to the smaller tank. This is when we purchased the Eheim 2236 system. This filter in my opinion is much easier to maintain than he Magnum and Fluval systems. The only down side is priming the pump after cleaning as the self priming feature does not work as well as the others but it is, by far, much much easier to disassemble and clean than the other two. Had the priming mechanism worked better I would have given this a 5/5. This is our second Eheim 2236. We had to replace the original because our child did not reestablish water flow after a cleaning, and the pump head overheated and died.

Sunday, October 30, 2011 Ecco Comfort 2234 Canister Filter with Media Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have owned this filter for a couple years now and it works brilliantly, it always quickly gets the water crystal clear after I have muddied up the water from cleaning the aquarium, it is very easy to use and clean except for the biological media bouncing all over the place like bacteria infused Kix cereal and the priming feature is brilliant. Also this thing is in the open in my bedroom and I can't hear a thing as long as I put a pad under it so it doesn't vibrate against floor. The only complaint I have is the water pressure dropping over the years. When I first bought it, the ecco 2234 would put so much pressure into the tank it turned it into a river with the current, the fish used to go swim in the current like salmon. Unfortunately no amount of cleaning and scrubbing and replacing filters gets the pressure and water circulation back to what it was when I first bought it. I had purchased this for a tank that is half the size the filter is rated for so the filter does absolutely fine even with the weak pressure. I would recommend this filter, however make sure you buy one that is rated for a much larger tank.

Saturday, September 10, 2011 Ecco Comfort 2232 Canister Filter with Media Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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.

Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great filter that cleaned up my overpopulated 20 gal. tankovernight.The water went from murky to crystal clear and colorless in just hours.I had used two different hang-on-the-side power filters that would get clogged in 2 days and couldn't keep the water clear.Set-up of the Filstar was easy and full of options. Cleaning, when the flow rate does goes down, has also been a snap.It also runs very quietly.I highly recommend it.

(More customer reviews)Amazing filter. Fairly simple set up. In less than 30 hours our fishtank has completely changed. We actually forgot how pretty our tank was. It's like we just upgraded to an HD fish tank. Kind of pricey, but would have been a bargain at twice the price. Stop shopping and buy this filter.
