EHEIM Pickup 200 (Internal Filter)
The EHEIM pickup is a small practical filter with a special concept
The filter is simple to attach in the tank with suction cups. The special thing about the concept of the pickup is that the filter canister together with its cartridge can be removed from above, while the pump unit remains in the tank. This is a very practical solution for cleaning or changing the filter cartridge.
The pump sucks in the water from below and carries it through the filter cartridge to the top. Here the filtered water is directed back into the tank via the rotatable outlet nozzle.

Karen Harris –
Easy to install with suction cups. I liked that I can remove the cartridge without taking the pump out. Works well in my 120-liter tank. Water flow is steady and the tank stays clean.
Claire Randall –
Good for small tanks. The bottom water inlet helps with circulation. I had to replace the cartridge once after a few months, but it was simple to do from the top.
Peter Watson –
Very practical design. The pump stays in place, so no need to move the whole unit. Works quietly and keeps the water clean in my 150-liter aquarium.
