AC fans vs. all others

[sushiray]

wonder how many of us are fans of AC filters (in my case AC110's & AC70's)

vs. other hob's & canisters.

for the price points of the AC's vs. all others, I don't think you can beat the performance & ease of maintenance for the AC's

www.kensfish.com I have found to have great pricing selection & very modest shipping costs vs. other onliners. he does carry other HOB's & canisters also which I expect to be better priced also.

also, another member says they have an LFS that sells every day price AC110 for only $60, that can't be beat anywhere!

poll (can be with or w/o sponge filters)

AC's

other HOB's only

canisters only

both AC & canisters

both other HOB's & canisters

both AC & other HOB's

i use an emp400, along with my fx5, oceanclear340, and wet/dry on my 240. i like the bio-wheel.

which is better the emp400 or ac110?

Considering AC HOB are better in every way imaginable (aside from initial cost which is made up by the fact you never have to buy expensive replacement cartridges).

I'm going AC + canister (+ sumps. Since that wasn't a poll option)

I love AC's. I love rena XP3 canisters.

the combo of an AC110 and a Rena XP3 = a monster fish keepers dream.
