HOLY CRAP is that thing HUGE!

After getting all of the fitting connected and installed, I ended up having less than a half inch of clearance in every direction. I had a friend stop by as I was putting things together and he actually thought it was a shop-vac.

it will be heavy to when full. but you'll be happy

 

[FLESHY]

Always interested in getting one of these - sad to hear that its not as powerful as some would like, especially with size and quantity of media like that. They should build in a reef-flo pump on those things apparently.

Glad you are happy to have one.

If mine was more powerful I would be creating vortexes in the tank. This thing is beefy.

Might have to get one one of these days...........seems like a pretty cool filter

Mine works great on my 125. Only had it about a month but so far I am impressed! Very quiet too.
