they do.
ive used aquaclear and marineland, i hear fluval canister filters are good, my uncle had one on his 125 for years he never clened it and it worked for years
*cleaned
my favor filter right now are canister filters!
save me lots lots of money and less maintenance plus they pump alot and filter very good!
I use to be a big Eheim fanboy (the simple design just a no-by bypass and saving money on media also helped a lot, plus all the bacteria I could colonize was incredible)
I didn't buy an Aquaclear because I didn't have much trust in Fluval since I heard their canister filters aren't as amazing as the Eheims, I got lots of recommendations for the Aquaclear and I figured I'd try it out on a small scale before I went and grabbed the biggest model, and of course; I'm incredibly impressed. I own an Aqueon filter too and its a great filter, its just that the Aquaclear is a fantastic filter (you don't have to worry about uncycling your filter whenever you change the cartridge, and its own bio media is a lot more impressive then that 'wet dry trickle filter' in the Aqueon (NO DISS).
I'm big on canister filters. I had an old Eheim in the late 80's and used to love them.
Currently I'm using a Fluval FX5 and think it's the best filter on the market. It's actually got a computer controller module.
They are pricy but I've seen them on Buy.com for a little over $200 with free shipping. That's a great deal.
One thing I learned from Germany and Europeans when I visited over there. They spend all of their money on a filter, not a tank. It makes it easier to keep it clean and you flush less fish that way. I would have to agree with that school of thought.
My very first tank was a 20 long with an undergravel filter. What a nightmare to clean and what a terrible concept. Folks where still doing that in the US but when I went to Europe in the early 80's and saw their live plants and how everyone there was on a canister filter I was sold.
I've got a cousin who uses a bio-wheel on his salt tank and even though it isn't supposed to work he has been using it fine for years.
Dustin loves the hanging filters. So I think it is personal taste on 'type' but by all means get a good quality one whichever type you decide to use.
leaking is due to poor maintance when not lubing the o rings and don't overtight fittings or you will break them...( i learn).
I have been using eheim classic for 1 year now..no problem expect i overtight the fitting and spring a crack...but got it replace.
