You can probably tell something about me since I arranged a bunch of my filters and took a picture of them :whistle:

Nice!

You need to hook up the 2260 :)

I just added a 2260 to the tank with the 2262 in place of my fx5 which I sold. These things are amazing. I filled it with 8 liters of ehfi lav, 5 liters of bio rings 4 liters of seachem matrix and some large lava rock chunks.

Left to right they are - 2329 - 2260 - 2128 - 2215

I've yet to use the 2260 but I imagine it's a brute, it's something like 22 litres in volume. Jay, what fixtures/pipes do you use for the intake/outlet?

I'm currently running the 2128 on my 300L (alongside a 2180) and think it's doing a pretty good job. I like it even more because of what I paid for it. It was £50 and include substrat pro media, extra tap connector, pipe set 2, temperature display, spare impeller and other little bits.

Hey Matt

I tried to use the grey "upgraded" ( theyre junk ) eheim spray bar.
It can't handle the strength of the pump and blew off that little cap lol it scared the poop out of me.
I had an extra set of green eheim spay bar and it's all good now.

I'm going to keep it this way. Both of them have them and work great. If I change anything I might get a high pressure nosel but so far the flow is plenty.

I'm thinking if buying two sets of those tank clamps that come with the fx5 they're really good at holding the pipes in place and these on the 2260(2) are not easy to hold in place. You can stick the spar bar on with the suction cups and when you turn it on the spray bar flys across the tank until it's pressed up against something.
