12 Volt Man's Aqueon 150 Gallon Startup Thread

[Desert Bus]

2008-2026, so 18 years roughly. Nice run!

I love the simple canister filters, no electronics except for a pump. Just like I don't want an iPad slapped onto my car's dashboard, I don't want a filter that can fail in mysterious ways. I want to be able to source parts and fix it easy.

I prefer the Eheim Classic canisters and the only reason I replaced my old one after a decade or so was because I wanted a bigger one.

Your fish are looking great, as per usual.

Don't try to fix what ain't broken. 20 years old and I'd bet you can still get replacement parts from API and if not they're so simple you could just go to the hardware store.
