I am the new owner of an Eheim 2217 and I am a bit intimidated by the cleaning process.
How often is this necessary? I have been told not to mess with it if the flow remains good.
Where can I get media bags? I am pretty sure that I don't have those.
Thanks.Jarrod - Houston, Texas
150 gallon - my African cichlid monster tank (I know it isn't a big as yours)
17 gallon - Threadfin rainbows and corys lightly planted
5 gallon - planted red cherry shrimp breeder
3 gallon - planted red cherry shrimp breeder

Every 3-6 months

The cheapest place is City Pets.
Thanks.

You can go to a place like Xtreme on bellaire and get media bags if you want. Most people just go with the factor recommended packing of ceramic rings, porous balls, and then filter floss.
I clean mine once I start seeing eject a good amount of debris when I turn it back on after a water change. In a 90 gallon tank with 9 full grown discus, thats about once every two months.Experiencing an aquatic renaissance!

Somewhere on here I read about pillow foam as filter media. What brand do I need and where do I buy it?Jarrod - Houston, Texas
