Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hey guys... I just got $1,000 and well.. lol Time to work on upgrading the discus tank.. Currently im using duel top fin internal 40 filters.. I LOVE these filters..... enough bio media and using fluval polishing pads they work great.. and really quiet... But I want to free up room in my fish tank...
I want to try canister filters... I was also thinking of getting a 20g tank when petco gets there $1 a gallon sale.. and using that as a sort of sump just for extra water volume diluting the nitrates.
Which canister filter is a long lasting.. meaning impeller's don't break aftyer 6 months.. quiet... meaning quieter then any HOB filter and also have good filtration... I may have a good chunk of change.. but I also am still budget conscious.. I was looking at these brands on amazon called Pingkay... 5 stage 525gph canisters.. UV as well.. they look exactly like sunsun canisters... The filter is only $46... without media...
Has anyone used these filters before ? I have read up on fluvals they seem to have impeller issues.. and marineland are noisy and leak.. So im not sure what to get... Some of these canisters... don't seem like they hold much more media then my internals do.. So I want something rather large.. but also needs to be quiet... this is in my bedroom 3 feet from my bed..
