Jun 9, 2004 #7 O oscarbreeder Aquarium Advice Addict Joined Sep 2, 2003 Messages 4,075 Location Palm Bay Fl FLUVAL 404!! It is a great filter with lots of room for media and it is easy to clean. I have one on my 180 and it works great.

Jun 9, 2004 #9 O oscarbreeder Aquarium Advice Addict Joined Sep 2, 2003 Messages 4,075 Location Palm Bay Fl My 404 dosent make a sound unless the water level is low then you can hear the splashing. Other then that I cant hear it run.

Jun 10, 2004 #13 S saberry Aquarium Advice Freak Joined Sep 13, 2003 Messages 441 Location Missouri City, TX USA Eheim makes some of, if not the best canister filters available. While you may not find them at your local Petsmart, they can be had pretty reasonably online. You might try: http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/category.xml?pcid1=2885;category_id=1711
