Someone should make clear canister filters

[FishKing5]

How nice would it be if there was a good canister filter like the fx6 and was clear so you could look and better moderate how dirty the unit is getting. Sure would be nice instead of having to go through the trouble of taking it apart and looking inside. Maybe I need to invent one haha

That's a good reason to get a sump lol

I think it is more of a cosmetic issue, some people don't want to see the muck even though they have to still maintain them lol.

I think if you actually saw how fast and how badly a canister got gunked up, you'd never buy one, or at least realize they need much more cleaning than they normally get.

I actually think its a great idea, even just a clear panel so if you want to see you can
If you don't want to see face the panel, just turn the filter

Go getta copyright on that and get to work Fishking5

Maybe it was due to the assumption that the bacteria being photo sensitive? But from this article it isn't really so

Larger Odyssea canisters have a clear housing and have been around for years. I own 4 of them right now
