I have an Eheim 2226 filter, that seems to get plugged up really quickly, i was wondering if I am doing something wrong or if this is maybe a flaw the the ehiem product. Would a fluval 404 be better. I have a 90 gallon tank with 9 platies, 5 gouramis, 3 corys, 1 red tip black shark, 1 african butterfly and a few chinease algae eaters...it is the top layer of foam that alwas gets plugs, the guy at the lfs said that I should be changing that filter every 3-4 months and I am having to clean it every week and change it every 3-4 weeks. Heellllppppp????? Can anyone tellme what is better the Fluval or the Eheim name, I know that the Ehiem is harder to get here in Calgary as I have only found 2 stores that cary the product, but I can find the Fluval almost any where.
