How to Setup & Install Eheim Classic 250 Canister Filter | How To Prime

[@MakoyUnggoy]

These are called classic for a reason, they are built very simply and because of that they will run for years. A great all round filter!

[@danessabrickert8391]

Thank you so much for this video! You saved me a lot of time! Easy to follow instructions, and I loved the notes that you had to add! Thank you, again.

Wow..Am searching for classic 250 reviews ... Suddenly appears as fresh...Good one bro

[@RifshyRnS]

Thanks mate 😊

[@haaaaaaaaaand]

beauty aquarium. I dislike the included green coloured attachments though

[@MakoyUnggoy]

Yeah I wish they did them all black instead

[@missbitey]

At 3.38 the words should read "remove the outlet hose, while the inlet hose is in the tanks, not the other way around.

Thank you, my bad

[@matsteel2292]

Nice and clear review ! great tank you got too.

[@RifshyRnS]

Thanks, Mate. Have a good day!

[@kelliandkidz]

Only error was to prime, you wrote " remove the intake house while the outtake house is in the tank " instead of vise versa. Love your video. Very nicely done. Thx for your help. 😊

[@RifshyRnS]

This is a 64-litre tank, for a 100-litre tank I suggest Eheim 350

I'm redoing my aquarium and have been using the 250 for years but I'm curious why you have the tube with all the little holes removed? Is there a benefit to this or purely aesthetics?

is eheim 250 enough for 60x30x36cm tank? doesnt require additional equipment to increase the flow rate?

250 is perfect for a tank of that size 👌🏻

What do you suggest for a 280ltr tank Eheim 250 or 350?

[@RifshyRnS]

350 for sure bro

[@daliajuskaite2500]

Can this filter be placed at the same height as aquarium?

[@RifshyRnS]

Yes can but it would be challenging to install and maneuver the hose. It is advisable to place it below tank level, typically inside the tank stand/cabinet.

my eheim 150 makes a sound "o o o o", if i lightly touch the lid of the filter, it decreases, do you know why, please guide me how to fix this problem, thanks

[@RifshyRnS]

I guess there might be some air trapped inside, shake the canister while its on.

[@Aquamarine.Aubrey]

Do you have to prime by sucking on the hose?

[@RifshyRnS]

Yes

[@BharatMataKiJaiii]

Is the flow alright for a 60 cm tank? And will the Classic 350 be too much for a ADA 60p?

[@RifshyRnS]

350 is too much for a 60p

[@BharatMataKiJaiii]

@@RifshyRnS Thanks a lot for clarifying

[@napaquatics3639]

Thanks for answer. 250 is is then.

[@puneetcool72]

Sir, should i use the double tab connector for flow rate control Actually i have purchased eheim 350 classic for my 40x30x30 cm tank but the flow rate is too high for this dimension. please confirm should i half close the lever of outflow side to control the flow.

[@RifshyRnS]

350 is way too over-rated for that tank, better to buy a 150. Cutting down 50% flow is not a good idea

[@Aracnofollia]

Hi there , when is needed to clean the filter what is the best way tonmake it with that setup? Ps. Awesome video!

[@RifshyRnS]

Hello there, You can clean it every 2 months, depending on the bio load. If it’s a planted tank with less fish, you may go up to 3-4 months. Make sure to clean the filter with the aquarium water itself, in order to retain the beneficial bacteria. If you wash it with direct tap water, you may kill most of the beneficial bacteria, and it will take 3-4 weeks for the bacteria to establish.

[@rahulroshan3990]

Is it sturdy given that it has threaded intake ??

[@RifshyRnS]

Indeed it is strong.

[@RifshyRnS]

It’s a package, comes with the filter. Alternatively, you can find online or check with your local dealer.

[@ardaduran9335]

whats the function of those 2 grey valves

To turn the flow off for filter maintenance.

Hello can I use in 2.5 ft tank this canister 250...

[@RifshyRnS]

This filter is under rated for a 2.5 ft tank, use classic 350

[@rameezsaiyed9881]

Is it possible to control the flow from the inlet? I bought the filter but not set up yet. Worried it might be too much flow for my 60cm tank

[@RifshyRnS]

Classic 250’s flow is just right for a 60cm tank. Yes you can control the flow.

[@danaquatics4031]

@@RifshyRnS No, you can't control the flow. the double tap connectors are not designed to reduce flow. if you try to reduce flow by closing the valves by a quarter or half, the double tap connectors will leak. Best to keep at 100% open, 100% flow.

[@flacinho6504]

Hi guy, nice video ! I'm french, sorry for my language. I have two questions for you. Does this external pump make noise? I have an 80L aquarium, I hesitate between the Eheim Classic 150 pump and the Eheim Classic 250 pump (the one you present in your video). Which one do you recommend and why ? Thank you

[@RifshyRnS]

Does not emit any sound, the noise that you hear in my video when I turn the filter on: is the impeller startup at first, that's it, its pretty silent thereafter. Classic 150 is sufficient for an 80L tank depending on the stocking and hardscape structures that do not block the flow and create dead spots.

[@MSproductionsNY]

Would there be any concern to turning off the filter on a daily basis? (then back on after some hours) Would it do harm to the motor long term or create some concerns on the media if it just sat around 8-12 hours with no flow? I'm considering turning off the filter overnight that's why (let's leave out why I would do that lol)

[@RifshyRnS]

Why would you turn off the filter? Flow is essential for the beneficial bacteria in the filter media to thrive and do the job. Moreover, the circulation within the tank water column is important too.

[@urbansk8r231]

Hello, beautiful tank. So is this how you prime?. Canister is empty, you suck on outlet hose, which creates a vacuum. Canister fills up. So you wait till water runs out of outlet pipe before switch it on?
