My media plans in this filter would be 5L of Mechanical, 7L of the Pro Substrate, 5L of the Effix, and then a fine mesh at the top, possibly purigen or chemipure. Also, I've seen more than one owner slip a mat of rubber or very dense foam mat between the top lid and the pump to reduce vibration and noise. I have some concerns about the higher flow rate, and its effect on the canister sealing, and possibly the manner of which the bacteria colonies generate. A lot of YouTube videos ive watched in the past of Eheim 2260/2262 (1500xl) owners leave the pump cover off, for ease of maintenance. My questions are has anyone purchased this setup from Marine Depot and had any issues? There are no reviews on Marine Depot's website on this product. My thinking is removing the Emperor 400 and one of the 2217's and use the Eheim 2262 from Marine Depot. My current filtration is one Emperor 400, and (2) Eheim 2217's.
The 1262 pump will flow 300gph more but loose flow capacity a bit quicker as the filter becomes dirty. The higher head is going to maintain flow better as the filter becomes dirty because of the higher differential. The 1262 has 11'-6" of head and a flow rate of 900 gph. The difference in the two pumps is the 1260 has higher head 12'-1" and less flow 635 gph. , Handy valves allow convenient canister. The Eheim 2260 comes standard without the valves, and comes with a Eheim 1260 pump. Quick disconnect valves for Eheim aquarium canister filters. The only difference is the Eheim 2262 comes with the double block valves and the Eheim pump 1262. I was looking into purchasing a EHEIM 2260 canister filter for a 180 gallon aquarium that I currently have stocked with about 60-65 Tropheus.ĭuring my investigation, I found that Marine Depot offers a modified Eheim 2260 that they are calling the Eheim 2262.
