Eheim is the best that I have used.

I agree that Ehiem is the best. Never had a problem with it.

Yes, Eheim is the best. I bought a second one (not Eheim) that was cheaper and returned it the next day.

Hate to sound like an echo here, but yes, Ehiem is the way to go. :)

Ditto on the Ehiem. All the other brands I have tried clog.

I have not had an Eheim, but my Hydor works well. No clumping at all. The only feature I don't like is the set feeding times. Once a day; Twice a day, eight hrs apart; 3 times a day, six hrs apart.

How many days worth of food, tetra bits can you put in there? approx at setting of 2 feeding/day

thanks

How do you all attach them to the glass top ? I have tried to use velcro but I am not pleased.
