Hey everyone, how are you doing? You have Mike
and Sierra here. So today we're doing a
review video for the eheim professional
4 + 350. If you haven't already watched
our unboxing and setup video I suggest
you click up here, we're going to put a
link and watch that first just because
we explain a lot of the filter like all of
the features and everything about that.
We will go over a few of them in this video
but I do suggest checking it out first.
Yeah so first off, let's talk about the things that we
really like about the filter. So I mean,
one of the first things that I really
like about it is how easy it is to
actually remove from the tank. It comes
off very easily and it's really easy to
take apart and put back together.
This is awesome for me because I'm not
the most confident at taking
things apart and putting them back
together. I can usually take them apart pretty good
but the putting back together part...
Yeah, she asks me to help put things back together.
Yeah, no that's one of the really cool
things that I like about it. The primer
works really well,
usually three primes and you're good to
go. The x-tender function,
yeah I mean it's a really cool button, we
really want to try it out.... i mean we
tried it, it just hasn't made much of a
difference yet. It's been running about a
month and we
haven't seen a reduction in flow. No I
mean, I'm really excited for the time
we actually get to actually try it out
and see, you know, how much of a
difference it's going to make, how much
more flow we get out of it.
Yeah we'll definitely keep you guys
updated as it goes along. But right now,
with a month, if we turn it, you're
waiting for it, for something to
happened and it just wasn't plugged yet,
so unfortunately we haven't had a chance
to really try the x-tender so like we said we will
try this feature out further on down the road.
Yeah and I mean we took it apart here
today and just taking a look at the
first two sponges that they put in there,
it was actually getting pretty dirty and
you can tell they were collecting a lot
of debris and that's awesome i mean
taking a look further down into the
start of the biological media trays
you can start to see that the
biological bacteria is starting to cycle
already and I'm really happy with that.
Yeah so one of the other things too
was we tested out the pre-filter
We did notice that the water was a little a
little bit cleaner and crisp with
the pre-filter running. With it not
running there is a little bit more fine
particles floating around, that we found the
pre-filter actually works pretty well in
order to keep that down.
We want to be fair and try with both
running with it and without and I did
notice, like I said, it was a little bit of
that increasing clarity with the pre- filter. Yeah,
so I mean overall we've been pretty
happy with the filter. I mean the
look of it it, as there's a lot of
improvements there with the changes
that they made ,that it's all black and
it's a lot more discreet.
Yeah a lot easier to hide, those are
always good things.
Yeah so one of the only things that I
was kind of disappointed with was the
spray bar not really being adjustable.
Sometimes it's nice just to be able to
turn it on an angle just so you can get
more of a circulation in your tank. I
really like having circulation in my
tank so there's no dead spots so that
was one of the only little fall backs
we had on it, but that's not really a
big deal, i can always add find a
replacement spray bar if I was really
that concerned about it.
So other than that i pretty
well like this, it's a really nice unit
and yeah. Okay so i just wanted to remind
everyone of the contest we're having for
the eheim skin 350 here, the surface
skimmer, so in order to enter that we have
another video, Mike will put the link there
for it and you can get all the details
on how to enter, you can also enter
through our Facebook page but all the
details are there.
yeah so it's just really important to
name your video team aqua nuts Eheim Give
away, that way we don't miss any, we've
been adding all the ones that we found
to our Facebook page also. We're able to
share them with everybody which is awesome.
Thank you guys once again for watching
our video I hope you guys enjoyed and you
guys have yourself a great day
