When the filter is full water and air will begin entering the bucket - give the filter a little shake to release any air that's trapped in the media and impellor housingħ. The filter should begin filling from the bottom and air should be exiting the section of return hose that's in the 5 gallon bucketĦ. Place the end of the return hose section attached to the top of the filter over a 5 gallon bucket - the valve on this hose section should be open so it will drain into the bucketĥ. Place the filter back under the stand and reconnect the quick-connect on the intake hose- at this point both valves on the intake hose should be closedģ. Replace the media inside, make sure the O-ring is clean, put the top back on making sure to align the latches with the indents, re-engage the latches.Ģ. Open the valve on the top 24" section of hose that is still attached to the filter - this will more easily allow you to remove the top section (motor housing)Īfter cleaning I do the following to bring the filter back into service:ġ.

When I get ready to take the filter offline for cleaning I do the following:ġ. The intake hose from the aquarium to the filter is the bigger hose and enters the filter at the bottom. The output from the filter to the spray bar is the thinner hose and exits the top of the filter. That way you can more easily fill the filter and purge air out when you bring it back into service after cleaning. When you set up your 2217, I advise that you keep the section of hose between the top filter fitting and the first quick-connect at least 24" long.
I originally did this to act as mechanical filter to trap particulates but found that it also kept the mts and most of the shrimp out of the canisters as well. Placing your media in a bag makes cleaning easier and cleaner. That would be the cheapest.Click to expand.I use an aquaclear sponge that I roughly shaped with scissors. Or I was considering buying a 50 pound bag of small crushed lava rock and just filling it with that. I am a firm believer in over filtration.ĭoes anyone have any experience with De*Nitrate or Matrix? Now either of these options will take all most 3 times the recommended media for my tank size, which is great. I really want to try to find a sponge that I can cut to fit the canister so it would be on the very bottom and about 5-6" thick and then layer the media of choice on top of that.
I do not use filter batting on my first 2260 as Eheim doesnt recommend it. When you stop to think that it holds nearly 5 gallons of media, it hurts just a little. I want to go a different route than I did with my first one as it cost me an arm and a leg.ġ: Eheim Efphimech - about 5"( ceramic noodles) I just picked up an Eheim 2260 ( My second one - I love this filter ) for a measily $80 on Craigslist.
