Finally ordered and installed my first Eheim filter....an ecco.
Seems to be running smoothly, I'll have to top off the tank cause of the extra gallon and a half it drained out of it ...one question though...what do I do with the cocopuffs that came in the box

BTW 30 gallon tank..I might be slightly overfiltered....

Welcome to the world of Eheim There should be full instructions on where to place the ceramic bits.

Babel,

The "cocopuffs" are free food provided by Eheim for any first time buyer, go ahead and eat them

Frank whatareyoutryingtosay ....I'm still a kid *points to piggy tails*

keithgh, Funny thing that...it didn't say anything about where to put the ceramic balls. In fact it said that it was ready to go just plug in once you've connected the hoses. Guess now I get to practice turnign the thing off and opening it up, which frankly scares me a bit .

And yes...a canister, had to reajust the shelves in the stand so it would fit...as it is it just barely fits in :%).
