he didnt ask if anyone thought that he should get a different filter. every time a question about a filter comes up many peoples response is [get an eheim]. that is not always an option for everybody all the time..
You gotta watch the intake/outlet hoses where they join the canister. If they are not tightened all the way, the thing will leak like a seive. If you keep on top of it, Fluvals are good filters (although I broke down and bought an Eheim for my cichlid tank)
