What are your thoughts on using a pool sand filter made for above ground pools as the main mechanical filter for the tank. I know an ultima 2 system is the better option but that's out of my price range at the moment. I found this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GSPHS1U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the price just dropped$56 from when I put it in my wishlist months ago. That's cheeper than most canister filters. My only concern is pump efficiency, but I'm hoping I can swap out the one it comes with for one I already have and solve that problem.
Has anyone else done this?
