~~Canister Filter Help~~

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i vote for the FX5. one of the best and most effecient filters you can get for the money
 
Thanks for the replies guys, im willing to spend around 200 for one, id be super tickled to be about 150, but i can go to around 200. In this price range im looking at the rena xp3. its 184.00....will this be a good choice. Laso i seen some canisters called casade that were super cheap, are they any good at all?

i have a local shop thats sells FX5 for $199. i bought mine on ebay for about the same price, not sure if they still go for $199 online though.

i have a cascade. theyre 'okay'. they are definitely built cheaply. gotta be careful with the fittings and clamps, they seem very flimsy. also, the flow rates seem very low for what is advertised. the FX5 flows like a mother :headbang2
 
i just found a rena xp3 new for 147.00
the cheapest fx5 i can find is 288.00

would the fx5 really be worth the extra jingle?
 
there's several FX5s on ebay for about $200, just checked. gotta place a bid though, they are buy it now. the ones ending in a few minutes are at $206

it is so hard to get last minute bids though, people watch those bids like hawks and will drive the price crazy high really fast.

I posted you a link above for one cheaper than that with free shipping I think.
