AC300 & AC500

[OSCARLOVER]

Does anybody have this model HOB filter? I found a new LFS that opend so I checked it out today. I discovered an Aqua Clear 300. It looked like an older model it was said to have 300GPH. I opened the box and looked at it and there was a list of that model and a bigger AC500. I've never seen these before. I asked the lady for a price on it and she told me it was $41. It came with media and was never used. Could someone give me some feedback on these 2 products and is this a good price? Thanks!

there pretty good filters.

What is the difference between the AC110 and the AC500? Are they both 500GPH?

Yes they both move 500gph. They just changed the model name from the 110 to the 500, but they are the same thing.

It's the same filter. They changed the name a few years ago. They work very well and the price sounds pretty low for a LFS. I would buy it.

they are great filters and one of the most powerful hob filters on the market.

Great filters, I run both the 300 and 500 model on my 55. If you have a Petsmart local to you print off the price from Petsmart.com and take it to your local one, they will price match it. Just bought 2 AC500's for $78 no shipping.

I agree on that one! I use 3 on my 135 and 4 on my 240 with a Magnum 350 for extra bang. These are terriffic low maintanance large filters! I love em! Probably have around 12 all together and swear by them as opposed to at them like any of the "Fluval"s Ive ever owned. Fluval=Junk.
