Probably the best description of setting up an ehiem I’ve ever seen

Good review !

Very clear instructions, very helpful. Now to set up mine :)

Great video

Good unboxing and installation video. I suggest to have eheim installation set with this filter.

Detailed review! 👍🏻

Дружище. Это лучшая инструкция по запуску данного фильтра. Спасибо.

I followed this video step by step while setting up my Pro 4+ 600. Very straightforward. Great video!

I heard the trays are a bit problematic to arrange after maintenance , is it true?

Great video! Thanks a lot

I have two of those . One on a 95 gallon the other one on a 125 gallon . They awesome !!

Great video - worked like a charm! Volume on video at end ( most important) was low but kudos to you!!☆☆☆☆☆

Thank you for sharing

Thanks for this good review. is it a good idea for a 450 lt big American tank? I am not sure about flow rate. do you recommend this?

Thank you really much!!!

What kind of flow rate do you see when the unit is loaded with media?

Hi I have a 4+ 350thermo which has been running a couple of months it produces a lot of air bubbles on a daily basis. I’ve tried emptying it and restarting it a few times but with no joy. Do you have this problem on your filters?

Thanks😊

Nice vid. How's the noise of this filter ? Any low frequency hum or some impeller noises ?

I've accidently made the mistake of buying the 250 for my 180L aquarium, thought it would be more than enough as it was my first canister...

Why is the volume so low on this video? Maxed volume on my TV and IPad and still can’t hear a lot

Poor quality recording! I apologise. Future videos will be better quality and I might have a look at reshooting this video :)

Horacio Olivares Hello 👋 I don’t use the prime button when I am first setting up the canister filter because it’s much quicker to just suck on the intake to establish the initial siphon. The prime button can take over 10 minutes and rarely works entirety, or at least for me. The method I used in the video completely circumvents the frustration of using it. I will cover the prime button in the upcoming review of the Eheim. I wouldn’t recommend doing that, but I do have a video showing how I optimise these filters that you may find interesting :)

@@straighttalkingexotics9367 thank you for answering love how you fix your media in the tank i did the same

I found two used ones for a good amount. Will need to replace all the media inside plus sponges. Have you tried any filter media which is good value conpared to Eheim?

I have kept fish for 20 years now and in that time I have tried many different filters and media. I really like the SubstratPRO because it fits together nicely and forces the water through it. It’s my go to biological media.

Priming can't be done on this using the provided priming button?

It can, however after setting up a few of these filters I found it much easier (and much quicker) to establish a siphon using the method I demonstrated.

how long have you been using this? is there any risk of leak down the line?

I have been using these canister filters in the fish room for a few years. I have found them to be very reliable and non of them have given me any issues.

Ty so much was having trouble youre little suck trick worked lol never even thought to try that

What is the circular dial on the top of the filter?

@straighttalkingexotics9367

That happens to be my next video! Eheim call it a “range extender”. It opens a valve above the floss allowing water to bypass the floss to increase the flow when the floss is clogged. I don’t recommend using it.

There's a prime button in that filter right?

Yes, but using the Prime filter to start a siphon from scratch in this filter is quite a lot of effort, whereas the method I demonstrated is much quicker.

do you put water inside the filter before first activation?

Why not use the priming Button is the question lol?

It’s takes a very long time and many presses to establish the siphon first time. Quicker to do this than press the button 50 times.

Fluval canister offers better pre filtering inside the unit !!

I’m not a fan of Fluval filters. I took them all out of my fish room and replaced with Eheim.

I got hold of a cheap 400 liter aquarium. The problem is that all the filter material is missing and it is impossible to find what I need on Eheim's own pages!!! Now I'm a little wiser and know at least a little about what's needed - about 5 different kinds of filters, where can I find them cheapest without access to the article numbers??? There are no really good shops nearby plus I will have big problems with very mineral rich water! Have tried before with a 160 liter aquarium and it just couldn't get the water quality...
