Thanks to a thread on carbon yesterday I now know that I have the wrong bio... Not porus enough.,.... going to change it out.... for the eheim Pro Substrate - looks really good...
Also, going to stop using carbon all together...
Hey... sorry about the "Supa-Filter"... just trying to lighten up the war..... Plus, I just got in...!
I always hated the fluval 403's hard to start and that damn O ring was a huge pain. I think the fx3 is a lot easier to service. I like the ehiem ecco also
I have a fluval 404 and it has worked great for me for 5 years and is still going like new. Only problem I have had is a very small leak after taking the top off (probably the 0-ring)
I can get to stop leaking with a little minor adjustment.
