EheimBiopower 240 Internal Filter

Because I have a 4ft tank with big messy Severums, I wanted something to back up my Fluval external filter. It works really well and easy to maintain. The sponges clog up quickly which is a sign that it’s doing it’s job so needs regular once a week rinsing, so I bought extra sponges. Overall a great buy.

Absolutely fantastic filter 😁 well worth the £70 and would definitely recommend over alot of other filters out there for the money 😁 i love the fact that there is plenty of media for your beautiful bacteria to grow on 😁 yes it has a proprietary sponge but unlike other filters you won't have to replace the sponge for a long time. When you do decide to replace it thay are very cheap 😁

The filter is good the long arm attachment is ok. It doesn't push as much water through as I thought it would . Overall it is a good filter. I have it in my 110 litre tank.

I've used Eheim products for years and they rarely disappoint. This item is brilliant in a tank that needs constant attention. The ease of cleaning is breathtaking. It's taken some of the load off my Experience 150 and in 5 minutes or less it is cleaned and back to full circulating power. If they could I'm sure my fish would thank you for the much reduced disturbance they have to undergo. This is by far the best Eheim product I have ever bought, so much so that after two days in operation I bought the 200 version for my bigger tank. It's a classic case of "you gets what you pays for" and I have no hesitation in paying the higher price for a real quality product.After 3 weeks of operation I can add that I am still pleased with both the 160 and 200 models, I find the Nigagran water flow kind of comforting, sure (as some reviewers have mentioned) you need to clean it every 4-5 days, but this to me means that it doing it's job. Sure, the suckers are not as strong as they might be, but I've turned this to an advantage by supporting the bottom with a suitably sized rock and thereby creating a swim-through feature my weather loach love, (when the pleco isn't there) As for the noise, well my PC and 3D printer drown that out! If not that, it's me playing guitar or mandolin. No big deal. THE MAJOR thing for me is they are taking the load off the Eheim Experience 150s, (one for each tank) reducing the frequency of cleaning them. The 160 and 200 can both be cleaned in less than 10 minutes.

The filter seems great, however it has slipped multiple times because the suction Caps are not the best. I love the chamber system, have ordered an extra canister to add filter floss and or charcoal. My only gripe is that no matter what I do I have to clean the filter foam every few days as constantly blocks up.

A perfect internal filter.I am using this in a 240l tank as as an extra / backup filter, my tank also has an external canister filter therefore I am not using only this one.My experience so far though is very good, the unit is built solid and very easy to disassemble for cleaning and maintenance. the flow of the water comes directly through the bottom and then filters up what you through all of the canisters containing biomedia.Ehiem ubstrate pro bio Media comes with this filter, enough to fill 3 of the canisters. the fourth canister at the base is already filled with a foam which pre filters the water prior to it passing the bio media. There is an an additional filter just before the impeller to prevent debris from entering.Typically when I purchased new filters I disassemble and dispose of all the biomedia that they come with and upgrade with my own... However with this one it is clearly not required as it comes with everything which is more than adequate for a good set-up.I've tried many types of external and internal filters, I can say without a doubt that this one is more than good enough to take care of a decent sized tank.If like me you are looking for an additional filter or simply additional biofiltration and as a backup then this certainly meets all of my requirements and I'm sure you'll be pleased with it.This is a very good purchase and highly recommended

Hi there,this willie an honest review,I paid £40 recently on the 200 range,when it arrived it was put in the cabinet under the tank until I had time to exchange my fluval internal pump,so only a week ago took it from its box set it up washed the contents down,took my oldish pump out replaced it with the 200 with four baskets underneath with 2 sponges an 2 substrate balls which were supplied,after 3 days I noticed that nothing was actually coming from head at all,removed it an checked,there was a problem the ceramic shaft was snapped into 3 pieces, after long debate I put it into my rubbish box full of wasted money,an one other thing no matter how u arrange the baskets or what u put in it seriously restricts the flow almost to zero,my honest opinion would be not to buy the over rated an over priced pump,its quite greedy also on energy for what it his, your better of buying a power head an buying the eheim prefilter which contains 2 baskets an a nice green not grey like the 200 an design ur own,an save around £22,which I have done recently,sold by amazon an dispatched by amazon I will atleast look at the contents before you dispatch em please,

I don't usually leave reviews as most products I buy just do as they say, nothing spectacular.However this Eheim filter is fantastic, it is the 3rd filter I have purchased from Amazon in an attempt to solve cloudy water issues. The canister type actually managed to kill 3 Shrimp and a twig Pleco :( . The Interpet PF3 was noisy to the point of distraction, even after I found out how to silence it, it needed constant attention to keep it quiet.This is the only one that has not only done a very good job very quickly and safely, but it has managed to do it almost silently as well.I would recommend this filter any time.

j'ai vu qu'une personne se plaignait que l'appareil était livré avec une prise anglaiseeffectivement moi aussi, mais il suffit de regarder la prise et l'on s'aperçoit très vite qu'il y a une vis au milieu on enlève cette vis et la prise française par miracle apparaîtce n'est qu'un adaptateurtrès satisfaite de ce produit qui me donne une eau très claire

alles gut

Bel filtro interno. Non penso ci sia di meglio se non i juwel originali.Peccato che ha la presa inglese. Adattatore e via

Es bjena esta bomba para mi acuario de peces disco, si eres de mexici tienes que comprar convertidor de corriente y adaptador de clavija uk a europea , pero como es bueno este canister interno y te ahorra mucho tiempo en mantenimiento la recomiendo

Eigentlich ein guter Filter, hab schon einen kleineren, aber geht zurück...Stecker nicht für Deutschland.
