This could be a bargain eheim filter for people in Sydney.

I am not the seller for this item but looks super cheap (so far).

He says it needs a new pump to complete the unit ???????????

Does that mean it's not working.

Sounds very cheap, but it's quite an old model, and I'd want to see it first, especially if it's not working.

its a very old model, i rang him up and he said he has had it for over 10yrs, and its been sitting there for yonks!
he said he bought it about $300+, i cant recall at anytime the 2250 and 2260 model were sold below $450

[catfish man]

even with a new pump its a good buy
however that will depend on the state of the media

I am with LR......old second stuff can cause lots of h.aches...unless you know the owner......
.....buyer beware......

Yes, you need to check the condition before you take it home. But if it's $50 or less I think it's worth a buy. My Eheim 2213 is over 15 years old and still running very well (except I replaced the impeller, but I didn't need too).
I also have 3 spares eheim water pumps that would fit.
It's pick up only and I am in Perth.

PS: I don't know the person nor the filter, so buy at your own risk.

I picked up 2226 at the local boot sale a few weeks ago for £26 here in the UK, £13 for a gasket and I had an excellent bargain, runs like new and had new media with it :)
