That can also do some course mechinical filtration and optionally carbon or other filtration. You have a trickle filter, so biological filtration and gas exchange are going to be excellent. They tend to use somewhat course media to allow them to run long preiods of time between cleanings.įor a typical FW tank that is excellent, but you have a bit different problem. As good as Eheim filters are they are not really geared to this type of fine filtration. To solve your problem you need to filter the water with very fine mechanical filtration. You also have a very large tank, so any particulate matter in the water will make the water look much less clear than the same water would look in a 50 gal tank.
You have a lot of fish that can produce a lot of waste. I just think there are many advantages with going with two smaller filters of a newer design.
It also has a built in flow meter.Įither way would work. A set of isolation valves is built into it, so you can easily remove the filter to clen it. It's easy to prime, you just push down on the top knob. The 2028 gives you some nice media trays for the stuff. It also dosn't haev all the latest featurs. The 2260 is also an older design, and you simply put the media you desire into the filter in the layers you want. Also you'd get a little more flow out of two of these. Then a couple of weeks later you can clean the other. This would allow you to clean one while the other is in service. I would go with two smaller filters, suce as two Eheim 2028's. If you clean it, you must be very carefull not to do anything that will kill the bacteria on the biological media. However, I wouldn't recommend this because the canister filter is also part of the biological filter process. The Eheim 2260 you are looking at is ok, and it would work. In that case canister filters can be a good solution. A fresh water system is a completly different matter.
