Looking to trade my Eheim Pro 3 XL 2080 ( not the thermo version )for a FX5 (or something similar) or sump or wet/dry setup with return pump and possibly HOB overflow. Would prefer a non diy setup but could be open to one. Open to other offers as long as it's filtration or sump setups or two smaller filters.
The whole unit is too big for future plans and takes up too much space in my stand. Filter came with my 125 freshwater and is about 2 years old. Two trays have the small brown balls, one tray has the white filter pads and the top tray has the coarse filter pad. Also have a brand new set of gaskets for the motor housing to canister connection and for the impeller to top tray connection and a couple of extra pads. Filter has both suction assemblies, return assembly and spray bar assembly. all three hoses are each about 6 feet long. Filter is complete with no missing parts.
Just had the entire top section apart and cleaned and greased all seals and gaskets. Motor housing did have a leak that was caused by dried out lubricant on the motor gasket. Cleaning and regreasing fixed this problem. Only other issue with the filter is that the original owner cracked the flow indicator where the return hose connects. He epoxied the assembly and it works fine and does not leak. I have not replaced the part yet but have found it online for $19. This is the flow inicator for the filter. http://www.shop.trilbytropicals.com/...08-7446208.htm
