Good price on Fluval Fx5 filter?.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Lots of folks over on AC have had great luck with the knockoffs sold under the SunSun and Perfect names. Here is a 24 page thread with a lengthy reveiw of one of their smaller pumps that is about equivilent to an xp4 or fluval 405 but only costs $58 shipped to your door. He lists the ebay seller as well and has had great luck with having any parts that were damaged in shipping etc. replaced quickly and at no cost. I beleive he now has 5 of these. http://www.aquariacentral.com/forum...2-SUNSUN-HW-302-Outside-Filter-setup-amp-test

Hmmmm How much is postage...

They are 565 Aussie bucks over here.
In Australia you can find them for $440 or with price match maybe $400 online, but with our dollar about equal with the US $220 is a massive saving. One thing to be wary of though is that FX5s sold in the US may only work with 120 volt power, so attaching a local plug might not do the job.
