My saltwater retailer told me to search for a "loading" Eheim 2217 for a 90 gallon tank. Do I have the right one?

When choosing a filter for your aquarium you want to make sure that it has a 5-10 times the turnover rate per gallon. The Eheim 2217 only has a flow rate of 264 gph, you need something that does at least 450-900 gph.

Hi Jody, This eheim classic is actually the eheim 2215. Yes it is good for up to 90 gallon tank.

This inline UV filter will this work for a 120 gallon fresh water tank with an Eheim 2075 canister filter. I have been using this in a 40 gallon tank for about a year and it performs flawlessly. Since it is inline (inserts into the middle of the return line from the filter to the aquarium) it will work with ANY canister filter. Plumbing will be the challenge, but the fittings provided should allow fitting to almost anything. If the plumbing perplexes you, try Youtube, or talk to an experienced person in a store or in a community of aquarists. I let this UV light run 24X7 with no issues. It is a great product for keeping water clear and for killing organisms which like to kill fish.

I have a 100 gal tank and it works great for me. The pump is great. With any of these pumps if you have to high of demand it's not the pumps fault if it can't keep up. I would purchase another if I needed one tomorrow. It's a good pump.

For a 150 gallon tank. I am assuming that it is fresh water, but either way, I would purchase 2 - 300 watt eheims. If you have returns, I would place one in each. The reason why two is for redundancy if one fails. I have two setup on an Apex system and can keep the temperature constant at +-2 degrees. Also if you have to elevate the temperature of the tank to cure something like ich, having the two heaters will ensure you can take the temperature up.

Ebay has the same measurements 90GPH pump for around $5 bucks. I purchased it and will see if it works.

"Maybe. The Hydor is fairly large and 1050 gph in a 40 gallon freshwater tank may be too much..."I 100% agree to this comment, I was using the 850 gph model in a 46 gallon saltwater tank, and that was a lot of flow. Freshwater tanks typically require a lot less flow than saltwater, so I personally would recommended someting in the 350-500 gph range.

Depending on the size of your tank, the more circulation the better. I have a 60gal with a built in wet n dry sy1 (626) 915-3636stem. & I'm using the fluval 306 as 2nd filter. Got 4discus, 4angels, & 3silver dollar. 11 fishes doesn't seem much for 60gal. But the discus fishes are a good size. For what I have "YES" 2 filters works best & 10% water change every 3wks. Hope this helps u decide ?

I have no idea what flow rate and capacity of Co2 your needs require or what sort of pressure regulation, etc., is appropriate. These are standard 20 lb tanks with pretty new inspection dates. If a standard Co2 tank is what you need for a planted aquarium, these are nice big ones that are not too big to be obtrusive or too heavy to carry. I would guess they run 50 plus pounds apiece filled, so two are reasonable to carry at one time. One big tank of the same capacity is pretty difficult to move and take in to get filled. The tanks are a good size, good quality and priced well, so I bought two to rotate in my Soda machine. Hope this helps some.

This tank uses large aqueon cartridges, which you coulld likely snag off of amazon as well, or really any petstore with a decent selection of aquarium products should carry it :)

Yes, I'm running it in mine. I have a plexi and I think it does a great job. I also have this on my 20 gallon puffer tank. You'll love it. Much better than the other makers.

I couldn't find one that fits like the add picture. I use a 2.5 gal tank purchased at the local auto parts store. Looks like this one at lowes. There may be better cans out there.http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=173395-1362-80010&langId;=-1&storeId;=10151&productId;=3126285&catalogId;=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel;=nofollow&cId;=PDIO1

I have mine on a 90 gallon salt water tank and it pumps out more than enough light

I think that would be a different model... My old softener was a 12x48 tank and this one so far is working great... The old smaller system was regenerating every 4 days by a mechanical timer system. This one regenerates based on water usage and with our small household I've went the full maximum of 14 days before regeneration... I expect my salt usage will go way down... I really like it!! I had to redo my plumbing to accommodate the larger tank, but that wasn't too difficult and well worth the effort...

I switched from an eheim pro about a year ago. Had the eheim for many years but had a lot of issues including the dreaded intermittent leak. The Fluval is great, simple and does not look like it will ever leak. I have it in a 200 gal tank with 2 mature res turtles.

I really do not know. I had to find the info on my Dads tank, and enter that with this company to find it. The numbers you listed are not the same as his. I would suggest you call the company and explain to them what you have and what you are looking for. Good luck. P.S. The company sent this out the next day, and the quality is very good.

I am using this in a 55g tank, so yes, bigger is better in this case. First one I got was defective after 6 weeks, so crossing my fingers the replacement will be trouble free
