No the filter is great. He was banned from the site.

I have only had it up an running a few hours. I will tell you this though, it has way more power, way more media capacity and options, and is very quiet. I also believe that it will disolve co2 better for the fact that there is more media for it to get "stuck" on and it has a better flow desigs (from the top to the bottom).

I really do hate the green tubes and spraybar though. What were they thinking? Also since this is my first Eheim I find the apparatus that bends the hose over the edge of the tank so you can position the spraybay to be very strange and awkward. Im sure ill think of a retrofit in the future though.

hmmm... i'm thinking now... my zoo med is adequate but there isn't much flow... I don't see how that could be rated for a 20 gallon tank.

Its a joke really. Neither one of those filters (zoomed or toms really there the same, I cant find a difference) has a snowballs chance in hell at filtering a 20g tank properly. It has a hard enough time on a 5.5g!

lol @medred, everyone is jumping on the 2213 bandwagon. I just bought one 30 minutes ago....:p

**MedRed** · 07-23-2008, 05:02 AM

green tubes are a deal killer for me.

Ahh. A few years ago, I never would have thought about putting such a filter on suck a small tank as yours. Your thread was what inspired me to join this forum.

Thank you that is a very nice compliment. I appreciate you reading it in it's entirety. It sure has gotten long!

I never would have either. In the world of dwarf shrimp and over planted aquaria, there is never such a thing as "over filtration".
