I use Eheim in almost all of my tanks, GREAT choice. How big is your tank?
I swear by the 2028 and 2260 models, and I am not as happy with the 2250 or 2213. The 2028 is a good one.
If someone doesn't have one for you on the thread, check the big auction site, I have bought packages out there of the 2028 and it included the starter media and the intake/output replacement kits. They installation kits are great and I recommend them. They are a darker color, which is more pleasing in the tank and they are flexible to meet the direction and flow you want.
Good luck to you.
