#EHEIM 2260 VS FLUVAL FX5 TRIAL#

I have never once been using an Eheim and thought, "I wish Fluval had that."įluval has slowly learned through trial and error, but the end result is the best canister on the market. However, I can't stand their bright green tubing, super white lettering (we get it, you're Eheim), and their tank rim adapters are non-existent on most/all models.

head height of 75.8"? A little more than the Eheim? Also, does that include just the verticle lift or the total hose length through the tank? (say you need to lift the water 4' but you have an additional horizontal length of tubing through the tank, would that be included in the max head?).Feel free to post here looking for advice on anything aquarium related, saltwater, freshwater, planted, or any other type of aquarium.

NEVER install the filter above the water level.

OK, looked at the FX5 manual on line for the maximum head and it seems that the top of the lid needs to be no more than 4.9 feet from the top of the canister or 58.8": we have 2 great filters to choose from that both do a great job. As for me personaly I like the Eheim better but I also have 6 FX5's for tanks where I can't justify the cost. If moneys not a issue its got to be the Eheim but the Fluval is a very good filter and its attractive price is going to win it a lot of fans.

issues of reliability and longevity not withstanding. IT IS ABOUT HALF THE PRICE OF THE EHEIM So while the Eheim is clearly the better filter here I cannot honestly say its twice as good as the Fluval. The fluval still does a excellent job its a bit easier to set up and it does a slightly better job at mechanical filtration and and here is the big kicker. So its a no brainer to the Eheim on most areas right? Well no. Its a lot quieter and holds a lot more media and uses less power then the Fluval. The Eheim is the better biological performer and has a better % flowrate when full. While the Eheim is the clear winner in the performance stakes the decision is not clear cut.
