Hi everyone,
Narrowed my search down to the Eheim 2080 or 2260 and maybe 2x 2217. Both are about the same price for me and I have no clue what to choose.
For me the sound output is important. I've had a Fluval FX-6 before that was making a really loud and low hum noise and it had to go. Just in case anyone here ask, it seems the European version is manufactured slightly different, which could be the reason for that really low and loud hum.
The tank is 150x50x50 and is about 120g and it will be mbuna and haven't had a thought about the quantity yet.
2080
Output: 1700 l/h
Pre filter volume: 1.5l
Filter volume: 25l
Watt: 25w
2260
Output: 2400 l/h
Filter volume: 18l
Watt: 65w
2x 2217
Output: 2x 1000 l/h
Filter volume: 2x 6l
Watt: 2x 20w
I believe the 2080 is really quiet and I couldn't really find any info about the 2260, but I assume it's much louder due the build?
Any thoughts?
