    Oase biomaster 850 Pros / cons

    Hello, I'm also not sponsored by any brand. And I like Oase also, I have been in the shop and got it (850) in my hands. Anyway the thread was the noise of Oase 850, I just share my "findings" because I was about to buy it 1 month ago. The propose was comparison of Oase 850 (1500 l/h in theory)...

    Oase biomaster 850 Pros / cons

    Hi, You are correct in some points for sure. But eheim professionel 3 have the heating element on the TOP. I my opinion the main cons of the eheim is the pre-filter, and price of the spare parts. But flow and silence... Eheim beats Oase for a long distance. And I was talking about Oase 850 vs...

    Oase biomaster 850 Pros / cons

    Hi, Because of this bad received "inputs" from people with oase 850, and because one big local store with a lot experiencie in maintenance that sell's oase and eheim and ADA, simply told me: "if you want the most silent filter with internal heater and high capacity, just go for eheim 1200xlt"...

    Eheim professionel

    Hi, Quick update: Now is filter is more silent after 5 days. Maybe not yet so silent as my old professionel 4 600, but should be almost there. It's a "beast" of a filter :), works fine. ps: in the first hours i have some air coming inside filter because one of the hoses was not correctly...

    Eheim professionel

    Thank you for all your sharing. 24h later is more silent than yesterday, is true. But i expect less "humming" than my old professionel 4 and is not, at least yet, let´s see. Maybe eheim mec pro is holding some air, that small tubes. The focus should be do not clog too much the filter to keep the...

    Eheim professionel

    Hello, Sorry for camming back, I just received my 2180 and install it yesterday. The flow is really good. About the noise, the other (my old) eheim 2275 was more silent, or maybe is just because I have some air inside filter? In this installation I have new media (eheim mec and mec pro), I will...

    Eheim professionel

    Ok, 2180 wins. I was afraid that 2180 was end of life. But most probably not. The aquarium is 300l, the medias I will reuse from old filter. I have some matrix and some neo pure. I have to find something more now, this is bigger. Currently I own professional 4 600, I will update. Thanks

    Eheim professionel

    Hi, I will probably buy one thermo filter from eheim, a big one. There is eheim professionel 3 xlt (2180), professionel 5 600t (2178). My question is, what is better? More reliable and silent? The price and flow are similar. For me one inlet or two is irrelevant. Thank you all

    Hi, about the OASE biomaster 850, do you have it? How is the working noise? it is possible to measure it? I leave in calm area all noises make me crazy :P. I have one eheim 2275. For me it will be one of the decisive factor. Maybe using a phone app at 20cm distance from filter. thanks

    Hello Nuno, Last time I mesure 2 months ago, was 20ppm of CO2 (I used KH/PH table to get value). CO2 should be enough for buce and anubias in theory they should live well without CO2 injected..... But I will mesure it and see if I need to increase... till 30ppm? Obrigado
