You're welcome. Yeah I'm really disappointed with the software, it constantly hangs and crashes and obviously wasn't tested at all. The worse part is you have to pay through the nose for a special USB lead which you use once and then discover is next to useless! I've recently been...

Here you go. If you're looking at the front of the filter, the socket is on the left hand side, at the back, just above the grey release clasp. It's covered by a little black cap which might be why you're struggling to find it! Hope this helps.

Did you solve this Madhav? I've previously had it working on my 2078 and I'm doing my monthly filter clean on Monday so I can take some photos of the location of the input socket if you like? The filter is in a cabinet so I can't really take any photos of it until then - the socket is...

I've got the 3e 600T which is also rated at 1850lph. I agree that the flow rate isn't amazing. You may already know this, but the maximum flow rate in "automatic" mode (in which the filter automatically increases flow to compensate for the media becoming blocked) is less than the maximum flow...

Hi all, Bit of a long shot but does anybody have an old version of the Eheim ControlCenter software for controlling/monitoring their electronic filters? I splashed out on the special USB wire you need and excitedly downloaded the software only to find that it bears no resemblance to, and seems...

Thanks Ian! Yes I've heard that, but my thinking is that I should be OK as I do daily EI dosing. My understanding of EI dosing is that every day we dump in more ferts than the plants can use in a day, which is why a big weekly water change is needed. So even if my UV steriliser destroys all...

Thanks for your contributions. I've sacked this idea off for a number of reasons, the main one being that all the settings etc. get reset anyway when you turn the filter off at the mains (which I do most days to feed the fish!) I think I will just manually dial down the flow and turn the UV...

Hi folks, I'm running an Eheim 2178 on a Juwel Vision 260 tank. It has a 12-hour bio function which enables you to set two different flow rates, alternating every 12 hours. I've set it up to to run at maximum flow during the day (to distribute nutrients and CO2) and minimum flow at night (to...

Thanks Iain. Yes after reading a lot of posts on here I've been thinking of moving the powerheads to point towards the front too. The problem is I have an internal background which, although a "slimline", is up to an inch thick so the magnets used to fix the powerheads are useless. I could...

Hi folks, I've just set up my new planted Juwel Vision 260. I have an Eheim 2178 thermofilter feeding a spraybar the length of the tank, which points at the front of the tank as mentioned in a few threads on here. This is augmented by two Hydor Koralia 1600s which come on when the lights come...

Wisey, thanks for the tips. I hadn't realised that the rated flow was unachievable even on max output. Sounds like a bit of a swizz! What size is your tank just out of interest?

Hi all, I've decided to treat myself to a Vision 260 aquarium and I'm looking for a compatible Eheim thermofilter. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've been looking at the 2173 and 2373 which are rated for 180-350 litre aquaria. Is 1050 lph enough flow? I'll be supplementing the...
