Hi previously I posted a thread asking about the 405 I received with my 120. Long story short I sold my fluval and am getting an Eheim 2250 at a good price. Looking for some feedback if you can on how this filter will be in a 120tall. Thank You, Cam

You may need something beefier. The 2250 has a pump output of 264gph without media. You are going to need something faster.

Hello grneyez...keep in mind that your filtration should be 8 to 10x the volume of the tank for best results. Maybe along with the Eheim 2250 an Aqua Clear 110 HOB (500gph approx.) could be added? I would definitely add some type of filter in addition to the Eheim.

Okay, why does it say for tanks up to 264 gallons then? It doesn't make sense.

Check that. I was talking to the LPS owner and on the tanks he uses just what eheim recommends. So maybe you could get away with it?! Depending on the type of fish.
