This design makes for easy and safe replacement after cleaning; the filter that cleans, needs to be cleaned too! Some filters have little fiddly areas that take a lot of time and effort to get properly clean, not with this Classic Filter.

Make sure the ease of cleaning is on your list of priorities! There is a wide range of accessories that are available with this filter; EHEIM external canister filters allow you to make personal choices about your planted aquarium’s setup.

When you are choosing between brands, make sure you remember what a great deal you are getting with the EHEIM; the selection of versatile accessories are worth a lot of money!
