Great filter for basic/small tank needs,
By Trescool (ATLANTA, GA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: EHEIM Ecco Pro External Canister Filter with Media for Up to 35-Gallon (Misc.)
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.

Great Filter,
This review is from: EHEIM Ecco Pro External Canister Filter with Media for Up to 80-Gallon (Misc.)
Opposed to some of the larger filters, like the cheaper, magnum 350 for example... you get much more thorough water filtration in an extremely well-designed package. The filter is whisper quiet. My Marineland bio-wheel 330 is noisier. Maintenance is incredibly easy and the handle-priming system works very well. You can even turn the flow rate down via the inlet valve on the canister depending on your applicatiton. It holds FOUR large baskets of filter media. Setup was extremely easy for me. Start to finish... about 25 minutes (washing the media, cutting hoses to length, filling up the media baskets w/ included media, etc...). I want to convert my other tanks to Eheim Ecco. No disappointments here.

Deacon Tom,
This review is from: EHEIM Ecco Pro External Canister Filter with Media for Up to 35-Gallon (Misc.)
I've also had this filter going on 3 years. It sporadically keeps a 30 gallon long clean despite monthly maintenance and routinely replacing media. I've been babying the handle assembly for at least a year, and it finally gave way. Eheim's parts store no longer stocks it. I'm replacing it with a Fluval C3, which is hidden behind the tank and more accessible. The disposable parts are more affordable, and are available locally. The C3 is also 1/3 the price of the Eheim. I have other Fluval filters still working 10+ years latter. At least the Eheim appears to be recyclable.
