Perfect canister filters

Another vote here for Sunsun/Perfect - great value for money.

I have 3 Sunsun (Perfect) Filters running (two for 6+ months, 1 for 2 months) and an Eheim 2217. All work just fine. I will continue with Perfect filters. Much cheaper and I don't see a noticeable difference in filtration between them and my eheim.

I congratulate all canister filter owners who have great performing and silently running filters.

I was the lucky duck who purchased the Eheim 2217 filter (pronounced: "a-hime") at an auction for $10 - (NEW $139 - $159). At that price can you blame me for choosing an item from my former home?

Nope, and I would have done the same thing.

Wow - a $10 eheim would be fantastic.

I believe the #2217 is the biggest among the older, green round Eheim filters. Don't know anything about the new rectangular models....and no, I don't dare add more tanks just to try out newer models...running out of steam and room.

i thought they made a 2260 or something. its about the size of a 5g bucket. its a monster.

But yeah, i have to make an effort to hear my SUNSUN.

A 2260 and 2262 are the biggest canisters Eheim makes.

67 chevelle,
U R correct about the sizes. I did not know that, until I started searching for Eheim info. The big filters R definately an armful in weight when it is time for cleaning them.
