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.

Whisper Ex70 Aquarium Power Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have 7 tanks set up all with power filters. Half of my power filter is tetra EX. They have been in this line of business for a long time and have been known to be reliable and trust worthy. Power filter that hang at the back of the tank are design for aquarium of 5 to 80 gallons. For tanks of 10 to 55 gallon I definitely would say power filter is the best type of filter for them. You should get a power filter that is rated twice the size of your tank and may be even up to 3 times if you have a lot of "living things" in your tank. So the EX 70 is perfect for 29 gallon tanks and reasonable for 48 gallon tanks. This filter uses 2 cartridges and there are some advantages for using 2. You can clean or replace one at a time and you still have the other one working for you.
Power filter performs three filtration functions, mechanical, chemical and biological filtration. Each type of power filter has its advantage and disadvantages and none is perfect for all three functions. The EX is good in mechanical and chemical filtration and is great for biological filtration. The chemical filtration is great if you use bio bag and added more chemicals inside the bag instead of using the sealed cartridge. The sealed cartridge is more expensive but easier to handle. The bio bag is more time consuming to use but you can add more and different types of chemicals and I think the mechanical filtrations is also better. (The carbon that comes with the bio bag is the same amount as in the seal cartridge and you should add a lot more chemicals to the bio bag and I like the Ammo-Carbon) Another advantage of the bio bag is if you need to remove the carbon for some medication you can just empty the chemical out of the bag and keep the bag for mechanical filtration. If you use the sealed cartridge you have to remove the whole cartridge and lost the mechanical filtration (or replace it with an empty bio bag).
The noise level of the EX is better than most other power filters. The best power filter especially in mechanical filtrations is Aqua Clear. Unfortunately Aqua Clear has one big disadvantage. It will not restart by itself after a power failure. You need a UPS (uninterrupted power supply used by computer system) to make sure if you lost power for a short period of time the Aqua Clear stays working. If you do not have an UPS using Aqua Clear is a big risk and if there is a power failure and you are away for a few days you may lost your whole tank.

Eheim Canister Filter Classic Plus - 2215 - up to 93 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, there just simply isn't a better filter on the market. With the intake on the bottom and the exhaust on the top, there is simply no place for water to bypass the media and hence the filtration is far more efficient. Some people complain that the filter is quite difficult to clean. However, the manual shows an easy way to do this. I have kept mine without cleaning for 3 months or and my heavily planted fresh water aquarium has been doing great. The media is reusable and reusable and reusable. Get my point? :-)
They are extremely efficient. A bit more expensive that the rest of canister filters out in the market. But in the long run, these are better since they last longer and the rarely break down.

Worried about the filtration on your aquarium??? Get one of these silent/efficient/reliable guys.

Magnum 350 Pro System Aquarium Canister Filter - up to 100 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I keep an adult red-eared slider semi-aquatic turtle who is very very very messy... like most turtle owners I have struggled to keep the water clean over the years ( frequent water changes- replacing filter cartridges having been a must.) My previous filter was destroyed by the turtle and I started looking online for a replacement. I wanted a high performance filter. I bought this filter about a month ago and have been amazed since then. I keep the animal in a pre-formed pond liner in my kitchen with around 60 gallons of water. I have not so far have had to change the water ( just add some) and it is clear and free of odors. The carbon in the filter really does wonder at purifying and the blue sleeve catches the debris very well. I have replaced the sleeve twice and the carbon once in a month time. The bio wheels are I think a must for turtles as they oxygenate the water and create more movement. I had to modified the set-up a bit in order to instal it on the pond liner instead of an aquarium, which took a little time, but so far have had zero problems. I highly recommend this product to anybody who takes care of turtles. It is powerful, quiet and very well made.

Whisper 40i In-tank Filter - 20 to 40 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own 7 pet turtles.I have two red-eared sliders, four mud turtles and one map turtle.I use the Whisper 40i filters in all my turtle tanks.After trying several different types of filters (ie Zoo Med 501 and Reptofilter) for my turtle tanks, I have found that these work the best and are the easiest to use.

First of all, they do keep the water clean as long as you changethe filter media regularly. How often it needs to be changed depends on the type of animal, or in my case turtle, that you own.It also depends on the amount of water in your habitat and other factors.The replacement media is fast to change and more inexpensive than the replacements for other turtle filters I've used.

The filter can be either hung on the side of the tank or completely suction cupped to the side. For functionality, I have found that tanks with shallow water do better with the filter sitting on the bottom of the tank and attached to the wall.Also, pets that are more likely to knock the filter down should have it attached to the wall instead of hung.When it falls in the water, the tank can become very dirty within a matter of hours.My sliders kept knocking one in the water and now the motor does not seem to work as well as it once did.

Make sure that your tank will have at least 4 inches of water in it or this filter will not work for you.

Overall, a solid product!

Fluval 4 Plus Internal Filter, 260 GPH Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am fairly impressed with this simple foam pad filter. I have mine in a 90 gallon tank with 7 turtles. It handled 6 pretty well needing the pads cleaned about every 7 to 10 days; however the 7th seems to much and now the filter "dies" every couple days. Turtles are very messy so the fact that a sub hundred dollar filter keeps up is great.

I love the simple design and the fact there are only about 7 pieces and most of them are large. This makes it easy to take apart, clean, and put back together without losing anything or forgetting anything. My one complaint here is I wish it had a "hatch for cleaning the jet head. The head clogs up with "stuff". You can tap the head on the side of the sink while running water through it to get most of it, but I always feel like it could be cleaner.

The last part I will comment on is the filter media. It is very simply two foam pads. The spaces in the foam generate helpful bacteria and do a good job of grabbing most of the "junk" in the water. Another plus is the supplemental pads that you can by to go between the foam pads. I have used polyester pads my self to clean the water better [minimal improvement as turtle waste is fairly large] and a carbon pad. This is the area where it loses a fifth star. You really do need some rocks and carbon and foam together to clean a big tank well, and while the Fluval 4+ does a great job for the price, you get what you pay for, a HUGE foam filter that can push some water.

H.O.T. Magnum Canister Filter - up to 55 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the H.O.T. Magnum because it was the cheapest canister filter at the local petstore.Good move.Using the micron filter, it got rid of the cloudiness in my tank in about three days (55 gal tank).I switched it to carbon and it as been working like a champ.My tank also has two high-capacity over-tank filters of the normal type, and they constantly overflow and pour gunk into the tank.The H.O.T. Magnum doesn't do this.It is set to suck from my undergravel filter, which, combined with a powerhead, has really reduced floating stuff in the tank.I'm going to get a Magnum 350 pro next and get rid of both my normal over-tank filters.

Eheim Canister Filter Classic Plus - 2213 - up to 55 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using my Eheim 2213 for 19 years now, and have never had to replace any parts, until now.It is an incredible filter, that keeps everything in the tank clear and fresh.The only complaint I have has already been fixed.The double shutoff connections that they've added will make cleaning it so much easier.19 years ago, they didn't have these, but I may buy some extras.I've heard that the only downfall for Eheim is ordering replacement parts.The only thing needing replacement is the suction cups that hold the parts in place inside of the tank.Everything else is wonderful!

I would definitely recommend this to others.Especially with a good price for a canister filter.
