FREE Eheim Professional II Wet & Dry external cannister filter. Eheim Professional II 2026. This is the newer model to my other free Eheim Professional aquarium filter. See my other post.

Used this filter in my 200 litre tank. I think the capacity of the filter supports a larger tank but I've not checked the details.

Note:
* This one has a broken part. It broke during the Kaikoura earthquake when the shelf it was on gave way. See photo for circled part. We didn't try gluing the part back. We were going to order the part, but decided to get a new Eheim filter instead.
* No filter media included.

Please contact me if you want it.

Eheim 2327 Professional. This is a large external cannister filter with very cool wave action that our fish loved. It also has a built in heater but the thermostat stopped functioning. I used it with the heater unpugged and used a separate aquarium heater. We used it for a 200 litre aquarium. It's brilliant for keeping your aquarium healthy and clean. I'm unsure of the capacity for the filter, but it's more than our 200 L tank. Check my other post for another FREE Eheim Professional filter.

It started leaking and we changed some o-rings but it still leaked. Unsure which seal or o-ring it was and used an Eheim filter our neighbour had given us instead. So we never investigated it further.

Notes:
* Filter substrate chips not included.
* Manual included.

Found an old link describing the filter.

Update to this post: Greater Wellington Regional Council chief executive to focus solely on fixing bus issues.

"Greater Wellington Regional Council's chief executive has been pulled from other duties to focus exclusively on fixing Wellington's new bus network.

Sustainable transport committee deputy chairman Daran Ponter said councillors agreed earlier this week to request chief executive Greg Campbell to put all his efforts into rectifying the Wellington city bus system.

This underlines how seriously we're taking this issue," Ponter said."

Obviously the public outcry is starting to work!

"Extra services have started on three Wellington bus routes, while seats removed from some buses to increase capacity could be put back. ... From Thursday, extra peak-time services were added to the No. 2 service between Karori and Seatoun, and numbers 3 and 36 between Lyall Bay and Wellington."

"Regional councillor Daran Ponter, the sustainable transport committee's deputy chairman, has questioned whether the seats needed to be removed at all ... Get civilised again and put the seats back."
