  • Eheim 2217 ?

    hello all,
    asking a question for a friend that has an Eheim 2217...how much substrate goes in the Eheim 2217?
    cups?

    I usually fill them all full of ehfi-substrat pro. I like to run all canisters for bio only with the coarse sponge at the bottom.

        The trays really don't hold much so I would say the total would be about 3cups and then whatever leftover space you could fill with filter floss.

              2217 has trays to hold media?

              lol, I always just fill the thing up full with media in a bag. No sponge or anything.

                where do you get a bag big enough to hold the bio media?

                    They make media bags. I ordered the media bags from Dr.FandS. My bags are for 2260/62 so I'm sure they have smaller ones for the 2217.

                    If not use panty hose.

                      Ugh don't want to DIY anything. Just want to buy the bag.

                      If I did DIY something it would be a stainless tray system. But I am way to lazy for all that.
