Anyone know about old Eheims?

[Caryl]

I have an internal filter here. On the label is the following;

EHEIM

Typ 2010 54 0

Serie 08081

l/h 500

I am assuming 08081 is the model number but I can't find anything on them. I assume the l/h is litres per hour.

I can't remember what the supposed best turnover rate is for a community tank. I have set up my new 100L (approx, actually less than that as not full and has large log in it too) and wondering if this filter will be a good size for it. I will also have to check and see if it goes! :lol:

Thanks A-town, yes it does look like the Google images for that model.

I will plug it in and if it goes, it will run on my tnak nicely. :bounce:

sweet as. they are awesome little internal filters. so what fish are goingitno this new tank

They are already in it - by accident :roll:

Simian gave me a bag full of orange swordtails (I had admired the swords and lyre tails in his main tank). I had been floating them over the day, slowly mixing the waters as there was a big difference in pH between the bag and the tank (also brought back from Hamilton :roll: ) but last time I came to see how they were, and mix a little more, it was to find the bag had fallen over on its side and all the fishes had escaped into the wide clear tank yonder :lol:

Here's hoping they are fine. The tank has no filter on it but it is almost 100 litres and the fry are all about 1cm or so long so there will not be a big bio load on it any time soon
