As the subject says, anyone with experience with these units? They look virtually identical to cannister filters made by Sunsun and other rebranded units like Aquatop or Marineland.
Sunsun HW-304B is effectively identical to the Aquatop CF500-UV, and both match the stats, sizing, and functionality of the Pingkay with a "525“gph pump. Pingkay also appears to come with carbon, ceramic bio, bio balls, and mesh filters, while the others come only with mesh filters. And it's a few dollars cheaper than the Sunsun unit. From everything I've read, Aquatop actually has a customer service department, while the others are more of the "not really" department.
I've already ordered the Sunsun model knowing it's identical to the Aquatop version (and actually supplies the units to Aquatop), but I'm curious if the Pingkay is also made by Sunsun if I needed a second filter in the future.
