I almost went with double 2260's but that would have been, even by my over filtration standards, serious over kill. 4.8 gallons of media capacity and an honest 500gph circulation. You might consider the 2262 if you can find it. They are identical filters with on exception, the 2262 has a high flow hobby pump, which more than doubles the circulation to a screaming 900 gph.Įither way you are going to open your wallet wide when you fill it. I filled mine with 5 liters of EhFiMech a layer of the green "easter grass" looking stuff, cant remember the name, and then topped it off with I believe 13 or so liters of a EhFiSubstratPro then topped that off with filter floss that I buy in bulk at walmart. The great thing about this filter is that you seriously only have to open it up for maint like 3 times a yr!įirst, this is bothering the mathematician in me: 900 gph is not "more than double" 500gph.
I know the Eheim Pro3e controversy had been accepeted by many, but after having a 2076 for nearly 2 years now, I decided to do some research with the goal of finally getting this to run an inline Hydor ETH heater. I am nearly at the point of purchaing a Pro3 2080, but I'd prefer to save the $400 and work with the filter I currently have. I have not had full success yet, but I can tell you what I have learned. I searched the internet for mods/hacks I could try (I'm not opposed to opening up the thing and cutting wires), but no luck. I called the Eheim Customer Support line to see if there was a work around. The person I talked with said I could put the filter in manual mode and there shouldn't be an issue. I always thought my filter was in manual mode, however, it clearly was NOT.
Here is how to assure the filter gets in maual mode.ġ) Reset to factory settings: Hold the +, -, and S simulataneously until the filter resets (it will actually turn off), release the buttons and let the filter do it's thing until all the funky light sequences stop and it's running normal again.Ģ) Next, hold down the S button for like 5 seconds, all the LED indicator lights will turn off except the bottom orange light will blink and remain illuminated.
