Our most recent HOB filter was a Seachem Tidal 110 filter. It has several cool little features (like self priming) that I prefer over the Aquaclear 110. You certainly can go wrong with an AC110 though.

I grab the AC110s when I see them for sale anywhere used as I am always running into issues like some said cracked housing it’s so aggravating that they haven’t solved that glitch. And it being unable to fit in smaller acrylic tanks. I’m not a fan of canister filters nor do I like those seachem tidals that is supposedly be rated better than the Aquaclears
It's cheaper for the manufacturer to make and cracked housing means more money for them.
I've bought a few second hand 110's with cracks in them and I've done well sealing them up with various types of glue.
no it is not when 3 of 4 products is broken in shipping? How is it making money when you lose money ? when other parts are intact and is compounded into a net loss damages? The most $ is the motor and you are practically giving it away for free because the middlemen are claiming it as a net loss no companies returns it to the manufacturer they “toss them in the garbage”
From my experience I ended up with 2 free units with cracked housing and everything else was perfectly usable including the motor. Does that make more sense?

I've used that before.You've got to give it a shot,you'll get better over time lol.
The AC's housing is cheaper to produce but after reading what you said that does makes more sense.
