This was just a quick google search but they are inexpensive -

For those who are happy with their results and the clarity of the water as it is -

it gets even better using the medium or fine polishing pads (see link or Fx5 manual)
The polishing pads are inexpensive but take clarity to a new level. I have never seen or had clearer water (I have a 220....

I got mine from aquacadabra on ebay, lightning fast delivery, cost £124.00 plus about £6.00 ish postage. so around £130.00 :naughty: Not a bad price for something this good!

Very pleased

I was one of the first people to buy one of these things at my LFS. I set it up today. This is what I know so far:

1. came with a DVD, haha, I loved it. honestly, I've never had a cannister filter, and it had some useful info. for one, I wouldn't have known that the hoses needed to be a certain depth in the water. Also, I wouldn't have known to cut my intake to make it fit perfectly.

2. this was so easy to set up. I took media from my ac110s and some of that cotton stuff. 2 gallons of water in the unit later and I'm running. this baby is silent. it also checks itself, so air get's pushed out or something periodically.

3. I got mine for $350, much less than what they are selling eheim pro3's for.

I heard that eheim is the best, and it seems that some of you are willing to go to war for them, but they were out of my price range so i guess I got "stuck" with this fluval. so far so good, i'll let you know in a month where I'm at with it.
