In the process of selecting a canister filter for my heavily stocked Malawi 200 litre tank, I have came across the eheim ecco 300 which I thought was decent and was considering buying it. Have any other members used this filter ??
Also can u guys suggest any other filters in the same price range ??
Cheers elliot

When you say heavily stocked how many fish are we talking and what types??

[ewoliver]

I have 5 rustys 4 electric yellows 3 kadangos and 4 tangerine peacocks still juveniles ranging 4-7 cm

If you plan on keeping all those fish in that tank in the long run your going to need alot of filtration

Eventually I will be thinning down the fish to only have one male per species and the rest females

[Bowdy]

I would agree, that not heavily stocked especially with the occupants. I dont know about that filter, however I have had ehiem 2217's on my tanks for years without any issues, and they have been heavily stocked. Ãbout 70 fish in 6x2x2...
