Eheim eXperience 250 External Canister Filter (Model 2424)

The Eheim eXperience 250 is a proven, reliable, and energy-efficient external canister filter for freshwater and marine aquariums from 120L up to 250L. Born from the same engineering lineage as Eheim's legendary Professional filter range — which introduced the world's first external filter with a square base shape — the eXperience 250 delivers all the fundamental advantages of high-end external filtration in a robust, quiet, and easy-to-maintain package.

At just 8 watts and with a flow rate of 700 l/h, the eXperience 250 provides powerful mechanical and biological filtration at one of the lowest energy consumption ratings in its class. The square base design saves space by fitting neatly into cabinet corners, while the large 6L canister volume ensures extended maintenance intervals and outstanding biological filtration capacity.

Ready to use straight out of the box — supplied complete with all accessories and genuine Eheim filter media including coarse and fine filter pads and Eheim Substrat biological media.
