Eheim Classic 2213

[leighton_87]

I bought an second hand tank which came with a sunsun external filter.

It is doing an excellent job of cleaning the tank but is huge and is quite noisy - does anyone here have experience with the Eheim classic 2213.

What are it's dimensions? How quiet is it?

I've been offered one at a good price but wanted to gather opinions before jumping in.

Also if I was to swap my current filter for a new one, how would I do this without uncycling the tank? If the bacteria is on the filter media would transferring all of the media retain the bacteria?

Thanks

I have one and it is very quiet, just a low hum. Just pop your cycled media in the canister and off you go!
