    Eheim 2227 or 2026

    According to the Eheim manual, the vent can be plugged for a short period. This allows the filter to run continuously, (disabling the wet/dry feature), for use when medication has been administered & you need to filter through carbon by removing/replacing the substrat pro. I tried this method...

    Eheim 2227 or 2026

    The 2071 arrived Tuesday, fitted it in the evening. All I did was to transfer a basket full of the sustrat pro from the 2227 into the 2071, along with the small amount of gunk from the bottom of the 2227 as well as all the aquarium water from it, thus filling the new filter with the old stuff...

    Eheim 2227 Substrat Question

    Cheers Peeps, I'd thought about boiling the media, but was a bit worried it might destroy it ? Think I'll give a few soaks in hot water before doing the daily water cycling with the water tank. Oh, & save up for some new media in a month or two, funds are low thanks to holidays :wink:

    Eheim 2227 Substrat Question

    Hi All, Just won an auction on Ebay for a used Eheim 2227 :D It comes complete with used substrat media. From what I've read on the Eheim web site the substrat can be washed & re-used several times 8) Which is useful because it seems sooo expensive. Anyhow, the previous user has used the...
