Based on my analysis and contact with the above mentioned products as an engineer and product designer and based on the limit product review on the internet by satisfied owners and less competent people I have come to the conclusion that the Ehiem canister filter is a better product than its competition. I have never owned any other filter other than an Ehiem and am not capable of making any long term judgments on other canister filters. That being said I also would not want to own any other canister filter other then a Eheim.

Here is a totally useless link comparing canister filters.

Disclaimer: I am not saying all other filters are garbage. On the contrary, the Rena xP series gives you value for the money and may be acceptable for a great deal of applications.


P.S. You don't need to be an engineer or do hours of research or own both products to tell the Ehiem is better than the XP.

That being said; Eheims are great, super great even! Go Eheim!!!!!!

Something like this: http://www.pet-dog-cat-supply-store....5542ee69f1dbe7

Sure. I would go with this one:

I don't understand your question.

Lets take a step back and stop taking it personally. Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to that opinion. That's exactly what he gave, an opinion. If further personal attacks continue the offenders will be banned from the thread.

woah! Sorry there! i posted a reply, but i guess i accidently hit report! My fault for setting my monitor at too high a resolution!

My apologies!

What i meant, is, are there any DIFFERENT inline heaters than the one i posted. I thought his reply was a bit dry and sarcastic, but i took it in humor. No harm done!

AFAIK, I do not believe there are any other in-line heaters on the market/available. The one you posted is the one everyone uses that has an in-line heater and it has proven itself to be a very good heater. Hence why I reposted your original link. (and it was humor. Thought this thread needed some)

No need to appologize Sudz. The thread was getting out of hand.
