What brand of filter do you use

[colematthewmalaka]

Hey, i was just wondering what everyone's favorite brand of filter is or the one they use, I think it'd be kind of interesting to see what everyone finds the best.

I would think there should be some stipulations made present, such as what type of tank you are referring to since different styles require different applications not to mention size requirements. Freshwater (low-tech planted, high-tech planted, fish-only), Saltwater reef (sps, lps, soft) or saltwater fish-only?

I like the Marineland HOB Biowheel filters myself but to be fair I have not tried aquaclear.

I have a HOT Magnum w biowheel. Hubby has a tetra????? - got it on clearnace - it's amazing in keeping his tank crystal clear.

I use and have good luck with the Emporer 280/400. I currently have 2 280's on my planted 60 at either end of the tank facing each other. They are large enough for customized filters and media, provide good water flow and the bio wheel/s work flawlessly with the spray bar hitting them directly. I have an AqueClear 20 on my 10 hex and truthfully I am not impressed. Had to exchange it twice due to bad motors and it plugs up quickly. Doesn't seem to push much water, but my tank is sparkling clean, so it must just be my perception.

I have a HOT magnum and the water is crystal clear. MARINELAND = WIN

 

[SDMac74]

Marineland makes outstanding products. Stealth heaters can't be beat either.

 

[FishCrazyBenBOMB]

Whisper for sure.

 

[sunych]

Aquaclear for the win!

 

[cogburn]
