So far so good
I know it was a cheaper canister filter but I was looking for a "bang for the buck" deal. Setup was pretty straight forward. The plastic spray bar / inlet tubes feel kind of cheap, I'll probably buy some new ones that are built a little better some time down the road. Overall though not a bad deal on a canister that is "rated" at 525gph and has a built in the UV light, was only $120 to the door.
The only media that shipped with it was 4 filter pads. I removed one pad to keep as a template so I can cut my own instead of purchasing one from their site. The other three trays are as follows:
Top tray: 2L of Seachem Matrix
3rd tray: 12 pot scrubbies (sure they don't do much but it would have been an empty tray anyway)
2nd tray: 1x filter pad
Bottom tray: 2x filter pads
All in all I'm happy, here's to hoping the UV light well get rid of the green water that has plagued me for years...
Pic time (it's installed on the top tank, the red wolf tank)
