Eheim Professional 3 600T (was 2178) exc. Media
You can count on the Eheim Professional 3 600T canister filter's high capacity, multi-stage filter to operate both efficiently and silently to help create and maintain a biologically balanced ecosystem 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in your large fresh water aquarium.
PLEASE NOTE - FRESHWATER USE ONLY
Aquarium water enters the filter through the 2 intake tubes and then flows downwards to the new pre-filter tray. Reversing direction, water then flows up through the first stage prefilter foam; trapping the majority of the large debris at the top.
Stage 1:Mechanical Pre-Filter
• Easy Access just under pump head at top design
• Traps mechanical debris making regular maintenance easier
• Significantly extends the time between cleaning intervals of biological filter media
• Simply rinse pre filter and change final stage filter pad when needed
• Bio-media in lower baskets remain undisturbed
The water is then pulled down an internal tube to the bottom of the canister where it is dispersed and is suctioned up through the second stage multi-purpose media baskets, at which point it passes through, with the typical EHEIM set up, the biological layer or media EHEIM Substrat pro. This media contains thousands of square feet or nitrifying bacteria which biologically breaks down aquarium toxins.
Stage 2: Multi-Purpose Media Baskets – Biological, Chemical or Mechanical
• For most aquatic environments
• Media baskets containing high efficiency biological media, provide the healthiest, clearest aquarium water.
• With regular maintenance of pre-filter and fine white filter pad, this setup lets you go up to one year without having to maintain your biological media baskets.
• Multi-purpose media baskets permit customization of your filtration setup. This is ideal for the serious aquarist.
In the third stage, water is pulled through the fine white filter pad, performing the final water polishing by trapping the finest dirt particles. The clean filtered water then flows back out into the aquarium.
Stage 3: Final Water Polishing Filtration
• Traps even the finest particles before allowing the clean water to flow back into the aquarium.
