My fluval 404 just bit the dust. The blue handle broke. And, I noticed that the impeller assembly is worn away at the top and the white ceramic shaft is broken. If I can replace them for under $300 (the price of a new one) im all game! Anyone know where the best replacement parts are at...

Hey everyone. I went to the other LFS in town to see what they had. They just received a Clown Sweetlips. They didnt have too much info on him, but needless to say, I took him for $40.00. I have found that they do go through a drastic change in appearance and are finnicky eaters. I have...
