While some people have had great luck with cheap Chinese knock-off filters, I've read enough horror stories that I would never buy one. A half-price filter isn't a very good deal if it dies after a couple years or, worse yet, floods your house causing thousands of dollars worth of damage...

I love my cfs700 and would use one of these on my new tank I'm getting in a heartbeat

I thought people would be more interested that theirs an fx5 equivalent out there with a uv light and media for less than half the price of an actual fx5.

So how does one place a 39" tall filter under their aquarium?

My FX5 motor just died recently after 2 years.

The UV would have to be massive to be effective at that GPH.

i go to the lfs Aquatraders in san bruno california to restock my food supply for my fish and turtles. bought my clown knife fish there and my dads filter odyssea cfs500 and works wonders for his 100 gallon tank. and its been about 2 maybe 3 years i think. runs perfectly. i dont think these chinese knockoffs are bad at all, honestly i dont even feel like it is a knockoff. id go for it but dont need that many gph for my tanks. maybe one day
