THE GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED CHEESE
Date: June 10, 2007
"After going thru 5 filters in less than a week i had had it.. so, i finalyly broke down and got this filter and let me just say it is the best, i really love the shape of it and the color is great, it will blend in with a deep green or any kind of green background you have. You can never hear it. I mean never!! the only thing you hear is the running water from the outake, which my 3 RES's love, because they swim under it for a "rush", i would give this product 12 paws up baby!! ( 4 for each turt).
The cleaning for this item is very very simple, all you have to do is take off the top and pull out the core and rinse and put it back in, the only part that needs to be replaced so much, only because i have 3 RES's is the white filter part on top, other than that it is GREAT!!!
We are moving in the future and i plan on getting another filter just like this one, to help keep down the waste in my turt's, once it..
One side note, in order for the item to work you need to allow it to complete the cycle, that is how you get the crystal clear water( usually takes about 4 weeks), i just do 25% water changes each week, i never ever do a FULL water tear down, that would ruin the ecco system that builds up in it!
If you have RES's or any kind of TURT you must get this product, your babies will thank you for it!"

AMAZING!! Keeps tank crystal clear.
Date: August 18, 2008
"My wife and I just purchased the Eheim External Canister Filter. It has been so nice having a filter that is QUIET!!. We first purchased a Fluval 305. It was so hard to work with and we could not get it to work. We went through two Fluvals and then I decided that we were going to go with something else.. The Eheim is the best thing that could have happened for us and our RES's. It has kept their tank so clean.. Deffinetly recommended. FIVE STARS!"

sorry for the choice
Date: June 26, 2008
"I have had this canister filter running for a month and have cleaned out the medium 2 times. My water is still cloudy and not clear. I have a 55 gallon tank and I purchased and oversize canister filter. I may have to by a Marineland canister filter to get the water clear. Very unhappy with the purchase."

Outstanding Product
Date: June 8, 2008
"The Eheim Ecco Canister filter is an OUTSTANDING product. I own a Red Earred slider turtle, which is a very dirty pet. We had previously been using a typical fish filter and were doing a full water change every week, and filter pad changes twice a week.
Enter the Eheim Ecco. We were sick of doing all that cleaning all the time, so I bought the Eheim Ecco. WOW. What a difference it has made in my life. It is incredibly easy to setup, clean, and maintain. It is virtually silent. I have it return underwater, so no more noise of it constantly splashing water.
For owners of Red Earred Slider turtles, DO NOT HESITATE to buy this, you will NOT regret it!"

Powerful, but loud
Date: June 8, 2007
"I got this filter for free from a closing LFS. Its a pretty decent filter. It has a good flow that is adjustable. One thing I don't like about it is that it is loud compared to my Fluval. Its not that loud, but still noticeable. I learned something when filling it up. Fill the intake tube with water before plugging it it, and close the out tube while its sucking water into the filter."

The Top of the Line
Date: February 2, 2007
"This is the top of the line in filters, in my opinion. Reliable, VERY low maintenance, and absolutely silent. Not quiet...SILENT!
It costs more than most other pumps in the market, but it is a workhorse and well worth every penny. Maintenance is a snap. I clean mine about every two months or so, and cleaning takes about 20 minutes. Most material is recyclabe. The only item I've changed in the year is the top micro filtration pad.
I own three now, and would recommend this to anyone, especially the beginner (who may have problems with routine filter maintenance)."
