i have allways used emperors and got a ac110 when the dr.foster deal was going and it locked the first night and the growling sounds woke me from a dead sleep. ---------So basically all filters can be junk. And i have noticed that with my sand bottomed tanks and wilder acting fish that those filters on the tanks go out alot quicker than my graveled tanks.

i have 2 penguin 350s on my girlfriends 55 and they are ok they squealed at first but quit after a while i think it was the rubber stop on the bottom of the propeller shat rubbing but im not 100% sure the biggest problem with hers is the biowheels not spinning

Ok, so you got a defective filter. Before you go running off bad-mouthing marineland, remember that all manufacturers have defects in a percentage of their products. Why don't you get one that works and see how well it performs?

P.S. Not a big fan of 350's either, the emperor 400 is a much better product.

i have had a peng. 350 now for 3 years and it never gave me a problem,i also have the rena hang on filters and LOVE them,especially after you add on their heaters.

 

[aquaman5000]

never looked at rena's

sweet filter,kinda bulky but keeps my water crystal clear and the heaters replace the intake tubes. i have one on my 29g shellie tank, and on 2 10g tanks,also pretty darn quiet

All filters suck

I'm satisfied with marineland, i love the look of their stuff. although my canister is kinda sluggish, i think something is stuck in there...

But i love the little "key" feature to remove the hoses, no stupid valves and screwing needed.
Just unplug, flip up the key, twist and pull, i could probably take the top off my marineland, replace the impeller and get it back up and running faster than i could take the top off my cascade.
