Eheim or Fluval filter

martin_090

My Fluval 205 started leaking so needs a new o ring but I've decided to upgrade the filter as I find the 205 isn't large enough for my 200 ltr tank.
Was going to get a 305 or 405 Fluval but a lot online seem to love eheim filters such as the 2073. Anyone any pros or cons on either model. Have up to €200 for filter.

I had the eheim 2217. Found it great. Can be difficult to prime but once done it is grand.

As far as I recall the fluvals have a reputation for this.

Ehiem also are a lower wattage and will use less juice.

Personally I use tetratec at the moment and have had several over the last few years. Have never had an issue. Would buy them again and again, recommend without a doubt.
