Harriet, Sorry to hear that you have had the same problem with yours. I have been wondering whether we would be able to establish a common factor with our leaking Eheims, whether it be design flaw or co2-based seal damage. If anyone who has suffered this issue could please post to say whether...

Hi Matt, I think there inlies my problem - I don't feel as if I have been properly looked after by Eheim, and that is especially galling considering the considerable cost of these units. To take nearly three months to resolve the first issue I had when I made it clear just how much water it was...

Original post updated :-)

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Hi mcbrix, The installation sets are, as jmkgreen correctly points out, the 16/22mm ones. The eheim part numbers for these sets are: #4005300 and #4005310 Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance :)

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Hi McBrix, Unfortunately the cabinets on one of my aquariums is too small to house the 2075 (48x12x12, 120l non-brand), and on the other (Rio 125) I do not want to remove (or raise) the shelf, so on each I have the filter sat off to one side of the cabinet. The top...

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Fixed - Apologies for the temporary interruption to normal service! IT11

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review oh dear - it looks like all of my images have disappeared! I shall try and get that resolved ASAP. IT11

Having a website offline for this long is unprecedented in my experience. Bauer must really be hurting over this, and I can see why they would want to protect their subscriber-base at any cost. I can only assume that they are rebuilding the site from the ground-up.

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Hi mfcphil, Eheim themselves rate this for tanks up to 600l, however the "quoted" output is 1250lph. If you work on the basis that in a planted tank you want to aim for 10x turnover per hour, then you need to either be looking for a filter with an output of 2400 lph...

If you e-mail Matt Clarke, I guess he might provide you with an ETA. IT11

Sorry folks, I do appreciate that my last post was very "techy", but I tried to keep it as simple as possible while providing as much information as I could. Planted aquaria and database technologies are about as far apart as I could pick two subjects, so it is hardly surprising that subscribers...

With websites which are often updated, the content is almost always stored in a database. The only thing which remains static is the framework to render the site. When a hack occurs, one of two things will have to happen. Either the database will have to be rolled-back to a point in time before...

Not last time I checked!

As mentioned earlier, if the hashes were not salted then they could have been reversed using rainbow tables. Also, the stolen passwords could have been hashed by the individual who lifted the list for placing onto pastebin to advertise the list for "sale" with the unhashed passwords provided to...

If the passwords have been hashed, there is less of an issue with the passwords being reversed and used elsewhere - the computational time required to do so would be vast (assuming they are salted as I mentioned before). However! It is always best-practise to use different usernames and...

I wish the email they sent out had contained a little more technical information as to exactly what had been (possibly) compromised. Depending on how their site is designed, "Joe Public" could either be at great risk, some risk, or little risk. Let me explain. When you register an account on...

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review I am working through this weekend, but I will try and get some shots in the evenings. RE water on your lights: all aquarium electrics (and any electrics to be installed over or near water) have to be certified to a certain standard by law to be sold in the UK...

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review As I said in my original post, I did away with the original fittings of the 2075, and replaced them with the Installation Sets 1+2 which are much more flexible in flow position and speed. You may find that much of your problem is solved if you point your spraybar...

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Hi Sheri, Sorry to hear you are having problems priming - but be assured that you will not be the first, and surely not the last to have this problem either. Is your 2075 directly under the tank, or off to one side? On the 2075's I have, the one directly under the...

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review I was originally going to get a 2076e because I liked the idea of altering the flow electronically etc. , but then read about all of the problems people were having with them, and that put me off completely. Plus the 2075 was about 25% cheaper too. If anyone is...

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Yep, Germany. Says so in big letters on both the top and the side of the box. Yeah, the included spraybar is a bit pants, and in the 12*12*48 Clearseal tank I installed my first 2075 into, was also a bit of a pain to install. Again, the Installation Set 2 is much...

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Pleasure, I am glad people are finding it useful. When I bought my 2075 I couldn't find very much info on it at all, other than the standard advertising bits so it was a bit of a shot in the dark, but I am so glad I took the gamble. it11

Hey naz, Are you using the standard Fluval ribbed hosing? If you are, I think you might find that you have all sorts of fun and games trying to connect them to a splitter - I gave up on trying to get them onto the hosetails of a Vecton UV as they just kept leaking even when using jubilee clips...

Hi Ger, Forgive my stupidity, but what are scrubbies? I might be missing out on something here!

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Hmm, thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a shot and report back my findings. Using Installation Set 2 (the pressure side, aka spraybar) helps considerably, as the over-edge bracket has a removable cap which allows you to bleed the air out that way. Its a bit...

Re: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review Hi Swackett, No, on the 2075 there is no in-line transformer, and therefore the power lead is permanantly moulded into the pump head. Hope that helps!

UPDATED 17/01/11 - Please see the bottom of this post Inspired by the "Gear Guide" section of PFK, I am pleased to finally have something which I can contribute to the UKAPS - my review of the Eheim 2075 External Filter. The 2075 is the second largest of the "Pro 3" range of filters, with the...

Hooray... its here! :D The pics seem to have come out OK, and I am currently getting them resized and sorted for use here. My 2075 review will probably be in a new thread - hopefully tomorrow by definitely by the end of the weekend! Just a teaser - - this 2075 is definitely powerful! Rich

Hmm, that sounds just like the "bio-balls" in the Tetratec EX700 that I am using elsewhere. I am hoping that with the pre-filter in place I shouldn't need to get that far down the filter too often. Its a good job the 2075 is on its way, the old ecco 2232 which I was using to supplement the...

I have been giving this quite a lot of thought recently - thanks for all your input everyone who contributed! I finally settled on ordering an eheim 2075 - they don't appear to have been released in the UK yet, so mine is coming straight from Germany (aquaristic.net). When it arrives, I plan on...

In an attempt to get rid of my BGA problems, I have decided to go for a much larger filter to allow me to increase flow rates substantially. I am looking at the eheim 2078 Professionel 3e to replace my Fluval 205 and ecco 2232, on a 125l Clearseal tank. Rated output on the 2078 is 1850 lt/h, so...

I didn't have much time to check my facts earlier, the 205 is actually rated at 680lph, not the 430 I had originally thought so the flow rate doesn't appear to be as "bad" as on my original calculations. I will up my dosing to the following schedule and see if it helps: Monday: 10ml Nitrogen...

I have read *so* many articles over the last few weeks about BGA, many with conflicting advice. What I have established is that I want to avoid using (Ethromyacin?) anti bacterials, and that I'd rather not do a blackout. Thinking about it, my BGA problems started after I dosed the tank with...

Yeah substrate is always Vacc'd, and the BGA never seems to form anywhere near as much on the substrate, it seems to be mid to higher level leaves which is what makes me believe its a lighting issue. After reading the article on tubes from lampspecs.co.uk (in the Lighting sub-board) I'm...

Hi Aaron, I would have hoped that if my Ammonia has been high for 8 weeks that I would have already picked up on it :!: The tank never receives any direct sunlight, and filter is cleaned at the same time as water changes (dunk sponges and media carts into the syphoned tank water). BGA is...

Hi All, I have been fighting with BGA on my relatively new (three month old) high tech planted tank, and I was starting to run out of ideas until I read: http://www.netpets.org/fish/reference/reefref/cyanobacteria3.html Which suggests that lighting can be an issue. Although I have tweaked the...

I used a pasty brush and some washing up liquid with a tiny bit of water in it. I know you already replied to my thread, so you know that my D&D was leaky when I got it. If your bubble count is low then there is no way you should be going through that much CO2, but for the concrete test go...

I'd just like to add that the operating instructions (post-setup) for the D&D say to operate it at 1 Bar, not 5 as the testing instructions do!

Looking at the instructions again, the increase to 5 bar is under the "testing for leaks" section. Essentially I guess they want to make sure that whatever pressure you throw at it, its not leaky. I had a bit of a change of heart last night when I picked up my PFK and found that the D&D kit...

JBL it is then. I *almost* bought one when I was in Swallow Aquatics (East Harling) on Saturday but resisted. I don't know what persuaded me to buy the D&D. I'll be on the phone to AE tomorrow so I can get it back. Thanks for your advice Matt! Rich

Thanks Matt, I'll give them a call in the morning and arrange for it to go back. Any chance of enlightening me as to what you have, so I can get it right next time? TIA, Rich

Evening all, I just got my brand new D-D CO2 set home, eager to replace the lacking TetraTec Optimat on my Rio 125. I have followed the included instructions, and when I got to the point of testing its gas-tightness, I found that it leaks quite a lot where the regulator meets the solenoid. The...
