I have been looking at geting filters for my 90 gallon and have almost decided on the cascade 1000. After reading a bunch of reviews I hear a lot of great things. The one bad thing I hear is the 1200 and 1500 alow for a lot of bypass. That is why I am thinking of getting two 1000's I hear there is very little if any bybass from them. So does anyone have any bad experiances with this model of this brand? Thanks for your time.

The only problem i had was the 1/2'' gap between the top tray and the tray casing. But to fix that you can stuff polishing pads in between the gaps.
I like the looks of this bad boy & the price is right. Is it worthy of taking on a 100G by itself, or will it need some HOB help?
The 2217 dosent have as good of a water turn over as the two 1000's would. I am keeping south american cichlids currently in the tank but that could change when I get my 180 we will see. I do like the monster size of the eheim. It seems great but the priming sounds crapy and that's the whole reason I'm not sticking to my renas I have 3 of them and I hate dumping water into the intake and trying to get the cap on quikly. I useually have to try like 3 times. Its a bit of a pain. I will look in closer detail when I go tonight to check out prices. Thanks for all the comments.
Also, 2xcascade 300 hob's would work just as good as well. But i would go with the 1500. 5 trays for the 1500 and i think 3 trays for the 1000.
