Eheim Classic External Filter 2213 Or Ecco 2232

[Paul Robbins]

I’m looking to replace ASAP my Fluval 404 canister filter for an Eheim Classic External Filter 2213 or an Ecco 2232.

My tank is approx 150Ls so the entry models should be OK I think but I would love some advice if the Ecco is the better model to buy. I can’t seem to find out if the classic 2213 has stop taps to enable painless disconnections from the tank and to my UV lamp.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

classic all the way
eccos have a tendancey for the handles to break and the seals to get pinched
if misaligned when priming.

Good enough for me! Many thanks, classic it is.
