Think I will get the Tropica Plant growth substrate instead.

I was going to put it under some black gravel,Will a 3 liter bag be enough for my Juwel Vio 40 tank?

Looking to re new my substrate in my 40 liter shrimp tank and was wondering what the Tetra substrate was like?

I have a Hagen Glo twin T5 and I have not had any problems with it.

Thanks Colin I will give Eheim UK a phone to see if I can get some seals for my 2073.

I am having major trouble finding new seals for my 2073,the inside of the priming button was a little dirty which must mean the o Rings underneath it have shrunk.

I set up my 2217 today and I have to say I am really impressed with it :thumbup: It was very easy to set up and get running,great build quality,quite,strong filtering power,good flow ect and a bargain at 85 quid delivered.

I would not get a 2071 based on my experiences with my leaky 2073 unless Eheim have updated them.

I have seen a few reviews about the Classics not dropping much flow but I am not too bothered because I will be cleaning it every 2 or 3 months.

I am looking forward to setting it up,I am I right in saying the Classic keeps it flow up even when the media is clogged?

Yes,I gave it a good clean and put a line of the Eheim Vaseline around it.

Well I took my 2073 part,cleaned up all the seals,bedded them in with the Eheim Vaseline put it back together correctly and surprise surprise a big puddle of water in my cabinet :thumbdown:

I have tried cleaning up the O rings and bedding them in with some Ehiem Vaseline gel but it still leaks :crazy: I might try it again today before I chuck it on the scrap heap :lol:

My 2073 must be a lemon then. :lol:

I ordered the plus version so it comes with those valves I hope :lol:
