Re: Eheim 2213 in 20H---followup
Many thanks to Scott, Roxanne, Tom, and those who responded off-list. The
opinions were unanimously in favor of the 2213/20H combo as I had hoped
would be the case. Had plants not been involved, I would not have
hesitated on the filter for a moment, but I've recently put a lot of time
and energy into this small tank and was loath to tamper with it
blindly. But now, with doubt assuaged, my order is in and I should have a
brand new 2213 kit in hand by mid-week. I dedicate its first startup
gurgle to you folks :)
BTW, Tom, you asked if the 80 gph pump I currently use is an Eheim. It is,
but it's not a canister, it's an internal 2008. This tank was originally a
"throw together" tank made up of stuff I had laying around. It's whole
purpose was so that I could experiment with a soil substrate after reading
Diana Walstad's book. Well, over the past year it's become my best tank
and after recently replanting it, I decided it was time to start upgrading
it. The 2213 is the first step. Next on the menu: dumping DIY for
compressed CO2.
