currently i dont use one, but im waiting to buy one, my friend is giving me a good deal on a "sunsun" i think its made by marineland, he has one as well in use and i've read some reviews on it, all good so far, so ill vote for that, maybe ill get it in about 2 weeks.

They are made by Perfect

Ferplast Filters Link

I'll have to see if the Eden brand filters have a website? i think its also an Italian company but not sure, but i'll double check when i get home and see if they have a web address i can post up...

Here is the Web Address for EDEN Filters

Okay, the original link i posted for the eden filters doesn't seem to be working, so here is a direct link to the filters page

Fluval fx5

 

[hereticlosmorte]

i have a fluval 405 on my 90gal. what a POS. i bought it because it was a "great quality" canister, and infact, most LFS around only carry hagen/fluval/tetra/aquaclear brands.

if i were to buy another canister, it would be an eheim. i will never purchase another fluval.

even with new o-rings, they don't seal shut properly, and sometimes leak. the latches are cheap and can break off. the impeller cover broke within the first 3 months of use.

I run 2 Rena filstars on my 180 gal...No problems for 2 years now. I havnt even needed to replace the sponges yet,,,,rinse and reuse...only things i change are carbon and micropolish pads. Way simple disconnect with no water spillage, and a kid could clean the filter and reassemble.

Maybe you got a lemon or something. I've never had any of those problems with my 2 Fluvals. When closed properly, mine never leak and the latches seem very sturdy. Actually, the only broken latch problems I've had are on my Eheim classic

I have had the same problem ( with all three of those parts) with my 403, However is it a old filter. But on the other-side my eheim 2260 is 20 years old and I have just had to replace the o-ring in the last 6 months. so.......if your in for the long run, buy a eheim.
