Hi All,
I'm in the market for a new canister filter. I currently own a 2 year old Fluval 405 and looking to replace it because of impeller noise. I've already replaced a ton of parts and I'm 100% sure it's not air in the canister itself. I already contacted Hagen/Fluval's customer support and they were little help, too. They said the motor was the only thing covered by the 3 year warranty and wanted me to ship it to them for analysis... but what am I supposed to do in the mean time without a working filter? haha oh well that's in the past.
Anyway, do any of you that own the Fluval 406 (or 06 series) have any of the problems that were common with the 05 series? I actually own both a 405 and 305 and they were running quiet and fine until the noisy impeller issue. My 305 actually was running like new until about a month ago and it's heading down the same path (luckily that tank isn't in our living room).
Open to suggestions on a new canister!
