Eheim Wet/Dry Systems

[seacat]

Does anyone have any experience with the Eheim Wet/Dry filters? I am thinking this is what im wanted to get for my tank but i wanted to make sure they are better than just a normal canister filter. Thanks for advice.

there are better ones to buy than an eheim that you can change around at a later date !
but also you can make one for less than $50 it really easy ! i made one for my puffer tank using a tall kitchen garbage can cut holes in the bottom placed it in a rubbermade tub ! fill with bio balls ! i made a drip plate using a old tupperware dish and heated up a file and poked a chit load of holes in it !! has kept them alive for a few years now !
