I've been running an Aqua Nova NCF1500 for about 6 months and have nothing bad to say about it, they are great filters for the money. Decent build quality, self priming so easy to start up, easy to clean. I would definitely recommend an Aqua Nova Canister

Do any of u have any advice as to why my ncf-1500 would be spewing water out of the hole that the electrical cord comes out of and what i can do about it

You need to replace and add a second O ring to the quick release taps, the part that inserts into the head of the canister.
Mine is about 3 years old, leaked within 6 months or so, replaced them and its been going fine for the other 2.5 years. Pretty solid filter other than that.

i had the same problem it ran like a dream for about 6 months then started leaking i replaced every seal one by one i ended up being the tap seals when i had a look at it they also had a second groove that didn,t have any thing in it so i got an extra set and replaced the old ones and put new ones in both grooves now it,s been running for just over 3 years with no leaks no problems all in all there an awsome filter for the price it,s on my 5x2x2 at the moment with no other filter and it,s doing a good job it,s only on there untill i can afford to plumb in my sump then it,s coming out for a clean and on to a standard 5ft along with a 1200lph aqua nova so just replace then tap o ring and add another set you should be fine
