What filter?
I want to by an external filter for my 120litres fish tank. At the moment
I'm trying to choose between Eheim 2224 (prof.) and 2026 (prof II). Which one could you recommend? Wouldn't 2026 be too "powerful" for 120 litres? But I've read there is no such thing as too much filtration. Thanks in advance. Alex.

There may not be too much filtration, but the 2026 may be too much current or flow for whatever fish you'll be housing... maybe just run 2 smaller canisters, or 1 canister and 1 HOB filter... the options are endless.... -- RedForeman ©® future fabricator and creator of a ratbike streetfighter!!! ========================== 2003 TRX450ES 1992 TRX-350 XX (For Sale) '98 Tacoma Ext Cab 4X4 Lifted.... ========================== ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤° `°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø is that better??

I think the 2026 has an adjustment for flow; but I like the idea of two canisters! HTH - Dave

a cannister plus a hob filter is a great filter combo . Yes- you can never have
too much filtration. Eheim makes some of the best cannister filters you can have.

Hi,

Take the 2026 or the middle Model from JBL Pro-250; that one is even better than the eheims. More Volume. I don't know, if they sell it in US. The 2024 is to small for a normal stocked community tank. It did not work out with my 200 l tank. -- Alexander Ziemann, Berlin http://che24.de | FON: 0177 755 78 64
