Liberty By Eheim (hob Filter) - Has Anyone Used This Before?

[ey2006]

Has anyone ever used or is using the Hang on Back (HOB) filters made by Eheim? The filters are called Liberty By Eheim.

Here's a brief description:

Advanced 3D Technology.
3D pleated cartridge design for 100% more filtration area.
Special carbonized poly-fibre with dual action for mechanical and chemical filtration.
Design Ensures full carbon and water contact for maximum adsorption. Traps even the finest particles.
Bio Foam enhances biological filtration and guaranties optimum colonization of nitrifying bacteria.


Just wondering if these were good compared to other HOB filters on the market, such as the AquaClear (by Hagen)

Knowing Eheim....they're probably high quality, quiet, and SLOW. LOL

I can say that cause I have an Eheim canister that I wouldn't trade for the world.

But....from what I've heard....they're not all that. That's just what I've heard. I've heard the comment made, "they should just stick to canisters".

It would take something real speciall to beat out an Aqua Clear. I have an AQ110 that is the best HOB I've ever had or WANT.

Hopefully someone will come along that can actually answer your question. LOL

Good luck.
