I’m this video I talk about the best simple aquarium canister filter. If you have had a hard time setting up aquarium canister filters the consider trying the eheim classic canister filter. The Eheim classic canister filter is one of the quietest and simple canister filters I’ve seen! There are a lot of canister filters out there for fish tanks, but eheims classic canister filter is tried and true!

I did forget to mention to prime the filter you just have to suck on the end of the return tube. If you have the spray bar on suck on that and cover a few holes it will still work. Also prime the filter before you plug it in. Sorry I forgot to mention this in the video!
Thank you so much for this detailed and to the point tutorial! Incredibly helpful! Were setting up our very first aquarium, pretty excited! Cheers, from Canada!
Glad I could help!
just set mine up today! i appreciate it!
Thank you for this post. I was extremely nervous to add a canister filter to my aquarium. This video made the process easy.
I’m glad I could help!
Great job ty!!!! Looks great
Thanks!
I used to own two eheimclassic 250s I sold one after a year and gave the other to girlfriend after 4years her ones still running these filters are great I just ordered the 350model I was gonna get the 600 but I prefer to run two smaller canisters in steed of one large one this way you get more room for filter media and more flow more options overall
I've only ever used these Eheim filters, and 35 years later, still using them. Thumbs up from me :)
They are really good filters!
@@Withtychannel time proven :)
This canister is awesome!
I KNOW!!! Haha
Thanks! I’m getting a 150 version for my 10 gallon shrimp tank, so much BB for my shrimp now!
Nice!
I think after a lot of research this will be the first canister filter I buy. My HOB aquaclear filters are decent, but they just aren't enough to handle my goldfish messiness.
Thanks for video. I was wondering, has someone adapted ribbed pipes like the ones from fluval instead of the transparent ones from Eheim? If so, what size is good for an Eheim 350 experience.
I want have a sump. I can't tell if suction inside. I'm looking to have a good bacterial media and also be safe enough for angel fish fry. Any recommendations?
how come with my eheim, the water punps trough when i put the hose down near the floor but it stops pumping when i lift the hose up. as if the pump is really weak and it cant go trough gravity, the water goes only around when the hose is down. I only cut the hose 1 time in 2 equal parts, bc i dont have those 2 grey valves
Great video, but i think its not easy to clean the lower sponge, and materials.
Why are you not using a filter net bag for the ceramic balls?
Greetings from The Netherlands!
I didn’t have a bag on hand big enough. When I clean it I’ll just dump it all into a bucket of tank water. Thanks for watching! Greetings from California
wonderful
Thanks!
How many gallons is that canister filter for? i have the Fluval 406 and I think that's an easy filter and very efficient and quiet also? Price for the Ehiem?
Mine is the 350 so 90ish gallons
Ty: When I shut the power off to my 2217 today, the top popped up and some of the clips released, causing an instant flood on my floor and aquarium stand. Any suggestions to the cause? I bought the filter pre-owned last November and it was advertised as "like new". Thanks.
This is what I'm worried about.
@@flamingbridges1649 This instance hasn't occurred since my posting. Regardless, I strapped down the lid with a 1" wide strap with buckle.
@@underthebus5801 just a little nervous. My mam would kill me and force me to get rid of my tank of that happened
Do you have to install the switch valve? Is it okay If I dont have installed and run the hose straight?
U don’t have to install the switch valve but if you don’t you will have to take all the hoses with you when you clean the filter. The switch valves are a huge quality of life feature
@@Withtychannel what do you mean by I have to take the hose with me when cleaning the filter? Sorry new to this hobby and the switch valve I have doesnt match with the size of thr filter.
I was given a used eheim classic 250 canister filter and the intake pipe has little holes in the side of it kind of like the spray bar. Are those holes supposed to be there?
It comes with a spray bar maybe it was assembled incorrectly or drilled I’d have to see it. But mine doesn’t have holes in the intake
@@Withtychannel Ok thank you so much for your reply.
Sir, should i use the double tab connector for flow rate control Actually i have purchased eheim 350 classic for my 40x30x30 cm tank but the flow rate is too high for this dimension. please confirm should i half close the lever of outflow side to control the flow.
Ya it might be to high how many gallons is your tank?
@@Withtychannel Approx 9.5 gallons
@@puneetcool72 you could use taps but restrict only on the outflow thats how i was taught, or use a spin pipe that could work too
Edit: currently using a 250 on 30cm cube tank with spin lily pipe
@@jensenghw3440 thanks for the suggestion.
I’m thinking the media should be on top away from all the dirt and debris
Whats the size of the hose?
Can’t remember exclactly
I've just ordered one of these but now I'm a little nervous because a few people have said the top has come off and flooded their floor. My mam would kill me if that happened
If the lid or hoses are coming off it means it wasn’t secured properly
My tank is 150 gallons capacity will it suit for my tank bro
I could see that
Bro well explained will it suit for150 gallons
Would there be any concern to turning off the filter on a daily basis?
(then back on after some hours)
Would it do harm to the motor long term or create some concerns on the media if it just sat around 8-12 hours with no flow?
I'm considering turning off the filter overnight that's why (let's leave out why I would do that lol)
Ya I wouldn’t do it, I’m assuming u want to turn it off because it is too loud? Have you tried the eheim sits basically silent I definitely recommend. If you are really bent on not having a filter I would recommend doing a heavily planted tank with very few fish.
@@Withtychannel Thanks
Wow, thats an impressive amount of media they supply. Fluval gives you a nano size little course sponge with a tidal filter and thats it. Zzzz
Sorry, you are doing it all wrong the media is not the way its works the best.
Corsfoam in de bodem then medium then fine, then the biologicol media.
Did I set it up wrong in the video lol that’s embarrassing haha thanks mate!
