Replacing filter

[preston5321]

I'm currently looking at replacing my in hood filter( pumps are wearing out) with a nice canister filter. the tanks is 130 gallon and has a 350gph internal filter as well. The budget doesn't permit an fx5 or anything of that price range. I was looking at the
Eheim Classic 2217 Canister Filter

or

Aqua One Nautilus 2700UVC Canister Filter

I know the eheim will be quality but will it be big enough?

What's your Budget?

I thought Eheims were more expensive than Fluvals?

The Eheim Pro 3 series is!

Roughly 300-350 australian.

Okay, Thanks. So that's about the same as 300-350 USD... So you're good! You can get FX5's for around $200


Or get a couple of These CLICK HERE

HERE and HERE are the websites that you should be able to order them from.

Will I be Ok using just an adapter plug so the U.S filters will fit an australian outlet? thats my only concern about ordering international the fx5 would be affordable if so.

I would think so! I"m not positive though...

I think an adapter would be okay. I use to see ads for them in travel magazines so they should work.

FX5 hands down.

I personally love EHeim products and everyone i know who has a FX5 is extremely happy.

And yes a US conversion adapter will work fine, just google it and u should be able to find one pretty cheap.
