Common questions

What happens if I don't change the carbon filter?
Spent carbon stops removing odours and discolouration, and clogged pads slow the flow, so the filter moves less water through the tank.
Does EHEIM make a compatible filter media?
EHEIM makes the genuine filter media. Compatible filter media for EHEIM models are made by other companies to fit the same models, and Australian sellers we track list both; each part page shows the genuine and compatible prices side by side.
