Eheim is synonymous with historical quality, I still have a working pump from the eighties, a true relic of the aquarium world. I like the equipment of this aerator and the system to fix the diffuser, a low consumption and two adjustable outputs. Thank you for this review dear Daniel.

I love this series of Eheim air pumps! I'm currently using several of the 100, 200 and 400 series, all of them running without issue and most for over 3 years. They run pretty quiet anyway, but if you stand them on a thick piece of sponge then they run almost silent. Great review!

Thanks very much Ian. Yeah we can usually trust Eheim products for quality and being robust, this certainly seems to reflect that so far. Good to hear feedback from people like yourself who have run them for some time and can confirm their durability over a longer period.

@@DanielKeepingFish My newest Eheim thing is an Eheim Pre-filter. It is like an excellent sponge filter attachment (of sorts) for the intake of most Eheim Canisters. I just added it to a tank that has Angelfish that have paired off. I've taken all the other fish out of this aquarium except for some small cory catfish. Yesterday she laid eggs again on an Anubias Plant and her mate came along and fertilized the eggs. His little penis is only seen or out for show when she lays the eggs. Otherwise it is hidden. They have always eaten the eggs but that was with guppies also in the fish tank. It may take three or four more tries before they realize what they are doing. The angelfish are only one year old and the pair are from different parents from different sources.
@DanielKeepingFish2 жыл бұрын
@@MichaelsHomeCooking it sometimes takes them a few attempts before they get better at being parents hey. I'm sure you've helped them to concentrate on it by taking the other fish out though. Hopefully be raising their fry soon. 🤞 I would give that pre-filter a try on my Eheim classic but unfortunately it's in the cupboard for now. I have kinda a love/hate relationship with canisters so I'm currently not running any but I'm sure I'll dig out the Classic again at some point and when I do I'll give the pre-filter you mentioned a shot no doubt.

Hi Daniel, if I wanted even less bubbles, can I connect an airflow control valve to the tubing? Love your uploads btw 👍
@DanielKeepingFish2 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much. Yeah I don't see why not. Only thing I can think might be a problem is you may get a whistle sound but might not. Worth giving it a try for the sake of buying a valve. They're pretty cheap and always come in handy. Other thing you could try is jamming a wee bit of sponge in the end of the tube.
@RPKGameVids11 ай бұрын
Where abouts do I connect the non return air valve, between the pump and the pipe, or between the the other end of the pipe and the diffuser? I find it odd that it's as though they've purposely kept everything a mystery surrounding the non return air valve in the instruction manual, they don't even show one fitted in the picture of the pump in operation with a fish tank.
@DanielKeepingFish11 ай бұрын
Yes between the pump and the diffuser end. I normally place them as close to the tank as possible along the airline but not so they're in view.

Anyway, I have a 100 model for my 80 liter tank and it works great, though I doubt it'll be enough for the new one I'm planning. Would the 200 or the 400 featured here be the best?

I'm afraid I would struggle to answer this as I have never used the Schego. They are not typically available here. I would suggest checking through the reviews and basing your decision on that although if both seem comparable with each other you probably can't go far wrong with either. Let me know though. Would love to hear what you think about which ever you choose.

Greetings Daniell the Eheim air pumps has to be the best. For me, the most important aspect is the SILENCE. The last thing you want is to hear a pump buzzing. I don't like the diffuser big bubbles. I use the Aquario Neo Air Diffuser, very small bubbles that diffuse into the water.
@DanielKeepingFish2 жыл бұрын
Hi Robert and happy New Year. The Aquario a Co2 diffuser is it not? I'd always assumed they would not be suitable for air pumps due to them being more powerful than Co2 release at the rate we use in aquariums but even now I write this I'm aware of what people say about making assumptions. I might need to get one and give it a go to satisfy my curiosity now. Thanks for mentioning it.

@@ejbrinegar yes an acceptable price no doubt. The UK is not in the EU any more of course. I'm not sure if that has any impact on prices for items produced in other parts of Europe, I don't follow politics or commerce that closely. I tend to look at prices of things in terms of values for money. If an air pump is priced at forty pounds and guaranteed to last for three years (probably longer) and likely to perform well for that period then I judge that to be great value hey.

Dear Daniel: I started one, macro-economics course in college. Though I stayed for about a week, there were only around ten who hadn’t dropped it, when I did. I don’t follow world events or politics, either. I couldn’t tell you how those things might affect pricing. Currently, I’m using an air pump I’ve had for at least ten years to hatch brine shrimp. I believe it’s the last one I have, which works. But, I’ll probably go with something cheaper than an Eheim, when this one fails. Sincerely, Brinegar
