help with filtration

[pakash]

hello tell me something guys im getting a new filter for my cichlid aquarium and i dont know what i really have to buy for the filter.

Im getting this filter at http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3579+14672&pcatid=14672

But my question is this do i need to buy only the filter and does it come with the filter media, and all.

Or do i have to buy the filter media, filter pad set, synth set sepately.

Wow, cuz if thats so that will cost me like 550dollars.

Tell me please
thanks

IF your looking for a big canister check out fluvals fx5.

a media that seems to have a decent price is bacti twist. i havent used it but it seems decent

the media is not included. if you read the tab "more information" on that page, #3 says media not included.

theres other filters you could buy for less than that. you could buy 2 rena xp4's for that, or two used fx5's and have alot more filtration than just that one $400 filter.

every EHEIM filter I have bought - - all from the Classic series - - came with all the media and accessories included. unfortunately, it looks like this Professional model doesn't . . .
