eheim 2080

[freelanderuk]

At the moment i use 2 eheim 2075's( these are 2073 with 2075 new pump heads fitted) on my 5 foot tank , i have just bought a 2080 to use and intend to buy another and run 2 off them on the same tank, my question is, as these filters have 2 inlets and 1 outlet do i run the inlets at the same position in the tank or 1 at the bottom near the substrate and 1 half way up the tank, would my aquamedic 1000 reactor work on an inlet pipe or leave on the outlet with spray bars ( running 2 aquamedic reactors)any tips or ideas welcome
cheers

Hi mate. I run a 2080 also but think you'll find that running the aqua medic on one of the inlets would make it quite difficult to prime the filter or reduce the flow through the intake.,

Positioning of the the intakes is up to you, I run both low down but one higher up and one down would work. You made need to pinch the hose on the higher one to allow the lower intake to fill with water then release the higher one.

Amazing filter though.

cheers, are you just running the 2080 on its own or with something else

It's running along with the 2078 but much prefer the 2080 so have ordered another to replace it plus I chose to run Alfa grog as media so as to not reduce flow as much but still give good bio
