Mine failed after 6 months ...after recent problems with eheim filter i will be avoiding this brand for sure.
Bought some tetratec pump i hope it will be as good as their filter which runs without any problems for past 4 years and was 3 times cheaper than eheim.
Re: Eheim Electronic Filter Professional 3E 700 2078 opinion
I do have both on my tank Ex1200 and 2078e, EX1200 is year older and never let me down where 2078e was replaced under warranty ... if You buy from zooplus keep some spare filter at home as warranty repair takes up to 8 weeks.
Hi

Hi
I just bought one 2078e for my 370l and together with ex1200 they works well if You want a good deal on zooplus You cen get one 2078e for 199£ if You never shop there before there is some discount for first time buyers and it will cost You something about 190£ so seems a good deal

I will hide pipes on back of my tank so I do not see anything I will go for fx5 not 100% sure yet will see how good deal I find on both the best price for fx5 is 145 on ebay and for 2078 is 199 on zooplus anyone got better prices??
The ting is I need big filter to support a biological filtration as my XP3 flow is not the best also need a filter to improve my water flow for better co2 diffusing as I have planted duch style tank
My cabinet is enough big to hide 2080 or fx5 as this is 4ft rena cabinet
I use one of fluval in my small tank and to be honest works fine no probs at all but for big tank I think I will go with eheim not sure which one still considering few as i only have space for one as second one is tetratec which I bought about 2 months ago so there is no need to replace it
