why not get this one off ebay. is cost less than your first one.

If it were me, I'd get 2 smaller canisters then 1 larger one. On my 75g, I have an Eheim 2215 and a Penguin 350. If I was in your position, I'd get the magnum deluxe with the bio-wheel and then an Aquaclear HOB filter.

I agree I have one of Jebo's and it is servicing me very well.

u gave me a link, but it doesn't have anything about a filter on it. like what specific model should i get for a 75 gal?

[Sal329]

With the $38 shipping charge on Ebay for the Jabeo the Eheim on BigAlsOnline.com is cheaper.

[jtburf]

Go with an eheim.

reason 1

WILL NEVER BREAK UNLESS HUMAN ERROR.

2 one of the best filter mass to fow rates.

3 Easy to service and get parts.

4 uprgradable.

5 silent.

6 It is a very high quality filter and depending uppon how it is stocked you would only need a 2215 or 2217.

[AnDr3w]

Eheim's are amazing, I love mine. Just the price is high...

[jtburf]

Well you really don't get what you pay for they could charge like 125 for a 2213 and still sell millions.

i was actually going to get a rena because they are a lot cheeper and so far no one who has them has had any complaints.

[OldMan1947]

I love all 3 of my Renas but am trying out the marineland steel canister now to see if I like it too. I don't want to be tied to only one brand. My experience with things that I have loved over the years is that sooner or later they become unavailable and then you have no options. In my opinion, its better to explore options before you get stuck in a corner. For the dollar value I still think the Rena line is great.

I use an Eheim Pro II on my 75g.. it works GREAT.

[Squawkbert]

What I'd do: BigAlsonline Eheim 2217 w/ Media $120, SHIPPED! :eek3:

XP2 $75 (I'd get 2). BigAls - free shipping >$50 orders, prices above are sale prices.

[jtburf]

Go with the Eheim, if you want the best deal for your hard earned money.
