Going Fluval !

Well I've calmed down from my recent upset with CF500 Aquatop filter disaster . I've ordered me a Fluval 405 canister that should be here in a few days or so . I'm going to miss the UV sterilizer feature that came with Aquatop's filter , but I will at the time I can afford a good sterilizer get one . I think they are a very good item to use in aquariums . I have a Fluval 305 already on my 55 gal. cichlid tank , but I'm a beleiver in over filtering . Maybe not needed but I'm for it . If anyone has any comments about Fluval filters I would love to here them . Thanks to all in cyberspace that is reading this . Remember this , there is no gravity , the earth suck's ! lol.

Guess I'm still a little pissy about this www.aquatop.com ordeal.

Sincerely your friend of Cichlid's , Eric

Comment by Corey Scherrer on July 21, 2012 at 10:17pm: I had a 350gal marineland canister filter and a few other canister filters over time. I remained loyal to them until i did my research and in the end a 4-stage refugium tank is the way to go with the UV sterilizer. I have 10 stages of filtration in my sytem and though some look at it as over kill, i've never had a problem. I will NEVER run another tank without a UV sterilizer again, just saying. That was the best investment i've ever made in regards to my tank. 150gal-wall mounted with a 35gal refugium. As of recently, my canister took a shit on me and i ended up investing in a 700gph pump... hands down better than a canister any day for too many reasons to write about. The gentle man i got it through and a few others utilizing the same model said they'll last 20-30 years or more. I'm cool with that. Get at me if you want details.
