what kind of fish are in the tank and what kind of tank is it?

go with an eheim it's top of the line

Cascades are very nice canister filters. IMO, one step under the eheim.

There is a Cascade 1500 model as well.

Rook 45 is right. I have 3 Eheim Professoinal II's that are the best thing I've ever used, and they are so quiet you can't hear them run, and they are easy to clean. The only bad thing I'm running into is finding parts and at a reasonable price.

i have a 90 gallon tank. with 3 bp's , 2 gourami's, and 2 angelfish. most of the pet shop around here carry cascades filters so i thought i'd ask first to see if it's a good one.

Howdy and Welcome to MFK!

Try http://www.petblvd.com for filters, and see if their Eheim plus shipping beats your local price. I have no clue if shipping to Hawaii is extra expensive, you'll have to check that out yourself. I wouldn't worry about warranty issues with Eheim too much, they never break.

Good luck,
