Fluval vs aquatop

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have fluval 304 and 404 and 2 sunsun 304-b which I believe is the same as aquatop..not sure,but I like them just the same, both easy to clean and no problems with either of the sets .The only thing I dont like about the sunsun"aquatop" is the spray bar it comes with so I just take it off and hang the outtake just like the fluval which i believe makes the water come out with more force.
 
I have the aquatop and I love it. The spray bar could use some work but I just turned it sideways and it works better.

I've always used Fluvals up until recently. Not that there is anything wrong with them but the Aquatops were cheaper ($90) and the UV light is a bonus. The only thing I have about the Aquatops is having to reprime after performing maintenance. The button is like the size of Texas and is kind of a pain. But as of now I've got two tanks both running aquatops and zero running fluvals. Just how it worked out I guess. My vote goes to Aquatop.
 
I don't use the button to prime. Just suck (no jokes :)) the output until you hear water rushing to the canister, let it fill up, and plug it in. I also don't use the spray bars.

Thanks to all of you guys! I have noticed that aquatops are way more popular to other great fish keeps on here so I have decided that I am going to get an aquatop.... first haha. Decided to sell all four of my Rena xp2s and then first buy an aquatop500 and then later on after I sell my old 60gal buy a fluval :) but you guys have all made it very clear that aquatop is more favored and well appreciated. Aquatop baby!
