Does anyone use a Magnum 350 canister filter.
A friend of mine just gave me a new one and i just want to know how well it works and how much water does it move.

thanx

got given one and am not impressed with its stock type filtration thus far. I'm going to redesign it and see how it works with better filter media/design.

There's no bio filtration in it... meh..

You'll need the bio.. a HOB is a good idea but keep the 350 going too... it offers great mechanical/chemical filtration. And there is never enough mechanical filtratation with chemical filtration options..

I have 3 of them...

They are excellent for fine partical filtration with the micron cartridge...

They can be set up well for standard mechanical filtration using the standard basket and polyfiber...

They do have a small media housing which limits them when using the fancy bio medias... but then again I don't use fancy bio media in any of my tanks and bacteria never seems to struggle to find enough surfaces to grow on...

Like any canister, it's harder to maintain than an HOB, but with the quick disconnect valves it's fairly easy for a canister...

There are definitely better quality canisters out there, but for the price tag I like what Mag 350s have to offer.
