TurtleOwner Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hellos, I have been investigating on getting a bigger filter for my turtle the last month or so, have got some quotes etc. So the two choices are the Eheim 2080 Professional 3 and the Eheim 2078 Professional 3e. The 3e is $50 more. and both prices I have obtained is well, cheap considering what i've seen Problem is I dont know which one to choose, What does everyone else think? The 3e has more flow per hr, 1850L v 1700L I think. If that helps :oops: Advice, suggestions welcome. Oh I want to stay Eheim branded :lol: Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 From what I have seen and sold I would reccomended the Pro III But the 3e isnt to bad at all Either way your going to get a high quality filter Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurtleOwner Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 My biggest conern is how loud is the pump noise on this thing, I mean standing so much money and then figuring out that its as loud as a kettle. Any ideas how loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo1 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 The Eheims I have used are silent except when they need cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Eheims are virtually always silent Also they use virtually no power Whats the prices you have seen for these guys? Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurtleOwner Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 So I still can't decide which one to get. But in passing for reviews (not many about) I came across an interesting FX5 v Eheim 2080 review. http://biotope.multiply.com/reviews Does anyone think the 3e would be better than the pro3? :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
