mathobes Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Soon I will be setting up a 5x2x2 geo tank. It will have geos (unsure of what species yet), corys and rummy nose tetras. I wanted to get some opinions on what filtration would be better. I want the cleanest water so I am going to have either 2x eheim classic 2217 or a single Eheim professional 3 electronic 2080. Which filter setup should I go for? I know either setup would be alot for the tank but I want the cleanest water possible so I'm going to spend up for the filtration. Opinions are much appreciated.

japes Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Pro3, as can you effectively run better mechanical filtration (.50 micron felt cut to size) and the baskets make maintenance easier. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the Classics, but for crystal clear water the Pro's make maintenance a million times easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach4me Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I have a 2080 on my 5x2x2 and it's a dream. I've had the tank set up for 9 months now and it hasn't missed a beat. I was tempted to go the 2217 option but went for the newer model and design. It's extremely simple to clean and is a great filter system...you can't go wrong with the 2080.
