Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi all
I was curious what you all thought of these filters? The two local shops I have have suggested both of these. One shop carries the Emperor and the other the Aquaclear and of course they both say theirs is the best. I'm very new to this and I want to get the best filter I can for my new 80 gallon bowfront. I'm planning on getting two of what ever one I decide on.
from what I'm told:
~ the Aquaclear are easier to prime and start, has a better actual flow rate, and uses a sponge rather than media cartridges you replace
~ the Emperor is easier to use, adjustable intake system to filter higher and lower levels of the tank at the same time, uses a bio wheel, and i can make a sponge instead of replacing cartridges
So if you all wouldn't mind, can I get some input from those who use(d) these and what you thought of them.
Also open to any suggestions if there is something better.
Thanks all!
