They've got no mech filtration ata ll and can clog up quick, if you wanrt to use one make sure you've got a good prefilter on it and keep it clean, for the money your better off with a 2028.

ok

basically i am thinking to have a little noun-power canister before this 2227 with full of wool.

With this sort of pre-filter, will it still be better off buying 2028 or 2228 ??

Thanks

a prefilter like that would be ok, it would fix the biggest problem with the 2227, before you get one get onto google and serch for 2227 + problems there use to be a few isues with this model, hopefully they've been fixed now.

Eheim's 2227/2229 series Wet & Dry filters are the 'lemons' of Eheim's usually brilliant canister filter range.

Do your self a favour and steer clear of them. A 2217 Classic or 2228 Pro will serve you better.
