    These are called classic for a reason, they are built very simply and because of that they will run for years.
    A great all round filter!

    Ps. Awesome video!

    • @RifshyRnS
      @RifshyRnS  Год назад

      Hello there,
      You can clean it every 2 months, depending on the bio load. If it’s a planted tank with less fish, you may go up to 3-4 months.
      Make sure to clean the filter with the aquarium water itself, in order to retain the beneficial bacteria. If you wash it with direct tap water, you may kill most of the beneficial bacteria, and it will take 3-4 weeks for the bacteria to establish.

    Hi guy, nice video ! I'm french, sorry for my language.
    I have two questions for you. Does this external pump make noise? I have an 80L aquarium, I hesitate between the Eheim Classic 150 pump and the Eheim Classic 250 pump (the one you present in your video). Which one do you recommend and why ?
    Thank you

    • @RifshyRnS
      @RifshyRnS  3 года назад +1

      Does not emit any sound, the noise that you hear in my video when I turn the filter on: is the impeller startup at first, that's it, its pretty silent thereafter.
      Classic 150 is sufficient for an 80L tank depending on the stocking and hardscape structures that do not block the flow and create dead spots.
