My new odyssea filter arrived today. The fx5 clone. I'm a little upset about the hoses and clamps that came with the filter. The hoses won't fit on the filter and the clamps are way to big :irked:... It arrived about an hour before I have to go to work---so I don't have time to go to the hardware store for parts.. I'll have to go tomorrow...Disappointed that I couldn't try it out. The hoses looked really cheap anyway, but what can you expect for $60 shipped?

I went on a field trip to Lowes for hoses. I bought 6' of 1" ID clear hose. the clamps that came with the filter fit the new hose :grinno:. I threw the crappy hose out. So the filter is up and running with no leaks. Super quiet with a ton of flow. For the money this was a great buy(even though I had to replace the hoses)!!!!!!!! For what it is --It was worth the $60 shipped...

We need pics of the setup :) Good to hear it's working good. I'll be trying the SunSun canister filter for my next planted tank.
 
thought about getting this filter but got a cascade 1000 for $40. Maybe I will try this filter down the road
