Just like the title says. im planning on getting 3 of em for my discus tank to add on to my sump, wondering where the cheapest place i can get em is.

:)
 
I scored huge at a LFS that had taken some in as exchanges, or people getting out of the hobby. I replaced the bio wheel and filter media (obviously) but then had four great filters for $5-10 each. If not a LFS, try Craigslist. I bought an Emperor 350 off there as well.
 
These are the price I saw from the on-line vendors I usually deal with.

Big Als $56.99
Pet Mountain $50.18
Pet Solutions $49.99 Free Shipping w/$99 purchase
Foster and Smith $51.19

The pricing on the Penguin 350 are much cheaper (around $35) and are pretty close to Emperor 400 in specs. Sounds like trying to find used is better if you are looking for dirt cheap.

Are you saying you'll be putting the emperor 400s onto the sump?

Why? Why not just use a filter sock and a wet/dry?
 
Not putting it onto the sump, adding it to the tank for filtration AS WELL as the sump. Sorry for the confusion. And nice post count :FIREdevil
 
If buying new, I have found Petsolutions.com to have great prices and frequent sales on them.
