I've used Eheim Powerline 2252 internal filters for a while now (and love them!) so I thought it was time to take it to the next level.

So take your preexisting Eheim 2252.



Add an Eheim 3351.



Result? A pimped out Eheim mega filter!



But on a serious note. These Eheim 2252 are fantastic filters. I've yet to clog one even with my lazy cleaning and Panaque. They pump (almost a flat) 1200lph and can solely provide enough oxygenation/current for 120-150cm tank. The only downside (apart from the usual Eheim price) is it's power consumption of 28 watts. But if you want a reliable internal filter for large tank with large fish then you should definitely try one.

I'm not using the mega layout, just the 3351 eight cartridge layout. To soon to tell but it essentially tripled the filter volume of previous 2252 which worked perfectly anyway. The modules mean I can move around dirty and clean sponges to suit it best.
