krellious Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I was given a minjiang mj2300 canister filter today and im wondering if anyone has heard of this brand and if so are they any good. It is massive and i will run it to replace my 2217 on the 4ft if reviews are positive... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luohanfan Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 mihjiang mj2300 电压： 110-120V/220-240V 流量： 2400LPH 频率： 60/50HZ 功率： 60w eheim 2217?? Pump output 1000l/h • Filter circulation 790l/h • Delivery head 2,10 m Ws • Filter volume 6l • Power consumption 20 W this is all i could find to compare,, so seems your more than doubleing your output,, thats a good thing,, as for quality, i have no idea..

E4G13M4N Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I f it was me i would stay with the Eheim, may have a slower turn over, but they are designed to do so, only need 1 1/2 times an hour turnover with good cannisters, plus 1/3 power usage is more economical..

dobbin4 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I know the Eheim are good but is 1 1/2 x turnover good enough.Better with x4. I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luohanfan Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i have about 14x turnover.. more flow and broken surface = more air.. also more flow picks up more detritus.. But, it all comes down to how much surface area you have for good bacteria to grow on.. add more filter matting or ceramic rings, whatever you like really..
