I have been running a Sun Sun canister for over a year. You can say you get what you pay for but to be honest these filters rock. I would not hesitate to buy more if I needed them. They run ultra quiet and do what more expensive filters do, filter water. You will not convince me that a Eheim is going to do any better job than this filter. It may have "better" parts but "for the money" you cant go wrong. Thats my .02.

A filter is as only as good as it's contents...What media are you running?

There is a long write up over on aquaria central about this filter. From the tests the guy did it seems to be an awesome filter. For that price, I would never turn one down. However, at least two would be best on a 100 gallon.

OK, I have used the Marine land versions. Here is the deal. The Marine Land C-220 has major problems. I went thought about 3 of them in a year and the manufacturer kept replacing them. I finally got suspicious and when it happened again I demanded the better model (C-360) in exchange. They willingly did so! What!? That is unlike any company to do. I thought maybe there is a problem with the C-220 and I asked. Sure enough the model has severe problems and they admitted it. I used 2 C-360 for some time and both worked really well. Your model is a 265 or something. Marineland doesn't have an equivalent flowrate model, but I would make sure it is more similar to the 360 than the 220. Hope that helps.
 
I hear thats a pretty solid filter... but I think its not going to be enough for 100g. Might want to purchase 2 of them, especially at that price!

yeah its a good price i saw a review for it that was on aquariacentral.com the not monster fish part of this site It was on my ipod so i couldnt copy pste the link efffectively as I suck with copy paste on my ipod but the flow is only slightly below the advertiseed and the intake comes with a skimmer so why not give it a try?

cool. do you think it would work as the sole filter on a 50g?

because for my 50g, i plan on moving the canister to another tank so i was hoping to find a new one and stumbled across this one
