silverarowana Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 went out today and bought Eheim 2080 from the age of aquarium with a very good price as they promised beat competitor by 10%. Very big thank to Tim. Now have to wait for my tax to get the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadFishFloating Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 The fx5 is a good big filter but the 2080 is the best big filter. I can see you hugging it each night before bed they are brilliant. Theres a good comparison of them both here Discus Forums :: View topic - Eheim 2080 Pro3 vs Fluval FX5 REVIEW FINISHED ! but the thing that swayed me towards the 2080 was the little bit at the base of the main review I've had no less then 5 ...yep 5 out of 6 FX5's exhibit problems with simply stopping all together or clogging after only a couple of weeks resulting in very slow flowrates. I now have only 1 FX5 in operation out of the original 6. I have had zero problems or issues with the Eheims. I must conclude that the Fluvals are not nearly the same quality as the Eheims. unfortunately with the fx5 if you are unlucky enough to get one from a bad batch theres not much you can do about it a case of while they work they are AWESOME but when they dont eheim gets +1 customer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
