No clue about their canister filters. I have been using 4 of their 800 gph power heads for years and they keep on working.
The thing about canister filters is maintenance. To be successful in salt water and use a canister filter you need to do a lot of regular maintenance. The nature of canister filters makes this labor intensive. The nature of people results in not enough maintenance because it is a lot of work and kind of messy. I'd recommend a hang on the back filter. Still needs maintenance but the filter is much more accessible and easier to maintain.

Holy crap lol. Yea I guess you are right. I was gonna buy a second quietflow 30 for the wife's FW tank. But if I can't go wrong going big that's an idea then.
Do you like the emperor pro? Cause I can go with a decent size bio wheel for my 40 that I'm gonna run.

How about the quietflow 55/75? Big enough on a 40?
