My 'perfect' brand canister filter came today, its the one that you can get off that big auction site. Its nearly identical to the marineland c-series, but for about half the cost. Theres one less basket inside it, but considering the size of the canister is nearly identical, the baskets must be deeper. And the hoses are hard to work with because they are so thick and come wrapped up.
Anyways it seems to work really well, but then again ive only had it for a few hours.
The directions really really suck because its a poor chinese translation >.<, but I did manage to get it working...I dont really know how. It didnt seem to be doing anything then I decided to take the hose off to manually siphon it out, and it came rushing out XD. Then I used the water flow to fill up the canister, and it started working.
ANYWAYS, my tank is a 55g, soon to be FOWLR, but right now it is just freshwater tank with some sand and eggcrate in it. I'm not sure which kind of media I would like to add to it. I'm not planning on having either a sump or fuge, although I would like to, I have neither the time, room, or budget, to get one together.
