 Great filter for basic/small tank needs Jul 22, 2006
By Trescool
I got this filter after reading several reviews via the internet. I have to say I was impressed with how easy it was to get it setup. Including the time to wash all the parts I got it going in about half an hour and it has been working flawlessly. Deciding to include the media in the new model was a smart move on Eheim's part. Since there are only two baskets in this model you have to be careful how you pack them otherwise they will not lock properly. If you want to include an extra filter pad for example you will have to skim off other media as they will have to share the same basket.
It is quiet...in fact it is so much quieter than the hang on filter it replaced that my partner asked me if it was working! It does an infinitely better job of keeping the tank wanter clean as well.
The only complaint I have is that the hinges for the multipurpose handle are plastic. I would have thought that metal of some kind would provide a more sturdy setup. (I mention this because while I was doing maintenance the handle actually popped off and I noticed it then). Otherwise it's been a flawless performer in the month and a half I've had it.

 Great Filter Oct 28, 2008
By Eric J. Stahl
Opposed to some of the larger filters, like the cheaper, magnum 350 for example... you get much more thorough water filtration in an extremely well-designed package. The filter is whisper quiet. My Marineland bio-wheel 330 is noisier. Maintenance is incredibly easy and the handle-priming system works very well. You can even turn the flow rate down via the inlet valve on the canister depending on your applicatiton. It holds FOUR large baskets of filter media. Setup was extremely easy for me. Start to finish... about 25 minutes (washing the media, cutting hoses to length, filling up the media baskets w/ included media, etc...). I want to convert my other tanks to Eheim Ecco. No disappointments here.
 Great at first, but ended up being a dud May 21, 2012

I bought this after my previous Eheim filter began losing significant pressure after about 4 years. I was very happy with it, so got this one, which is the newer model of what I had before. It worked great for about 2 months, then began losing pressure. Now, at less than 3 months, it's as bad as my other one was at 4 years. Is the this the new improved model? Not impressed. And not happy with blowing $120!
Great canister filter Apr 17, 2012
By Kevin N
I just got the Eheim Ecco for 35 gallons today and it was very easy to set-up and start using. The filter is relatively quiet and so far I'm liking the convenience of the filter. Eheim ecco filter is a quality product I would recommend to anybody.
I really like this filter Jun 04, 2009
By D. Nelms
I am very happy with this filter, I use it in my 12G Nano reef. The water has never looked this clear before. Setup was easy, the quick setup guide had nice big pictures and text descriptions making it very easy to fallow, it also came with all the bio media. Three boxes of which I only used two to fill the baskets, now I have extra! Also the price was right.
