Check value are not great, unless they are perfectly clean and checked often. I would not count on them period.

Yea, after 911 everyone got so sensitive,

+1!

The difference is they are not furry and cute. There is no such things as equal rights for animals.

No, the filters provide 02 to the nitrifying bacteria in the filter, by bringing in water from the tank and the water flows around the Bio Max then back to the tank.

Has to be an older model, I've not had any problem priming my 305.

Fluval 405, I also like Ehiem they are very well built. Look for similar flow rate to compare, but they general cost more.

Everything you will need will be included when you by the filter. I changed out the carbon after my tank cycled for more bio filtration.

Neither make any noise, their pump are not very power full, it will depend on how high the return has to fall, my 70 return is the same level as the water. For me is the same.

Nice, love the dark substrate. I want CO2 soooo bad, but the big bucks go to my 120g reef.

Agree.

I love the AC70, really good flow. I have a 70 and a fluval 305 on a 36 gallon bow, with a powered. IMHO, a AC 110 or two 70s. You could just get the one 70 then a second later.

Yea, I'm assuming your freshwater?

You could put a second pump online on the return line, I feel that's a good way to keep oxygen levels high in a canister filter. For flow I would get a propeller type of power head like an MP10 or 40.

Yea, forgot SG is 1.025-1.026 verified by Vertex refractometer with ATC. Water change is 15-20% weekly with Catalina sea water.
