Has anyone ever heard of a aquaclear 1000 series power filter?

I am purchasing a tank from someone and he states he has 2 of them.

I just want to make sure that 2 of these are enough for a 150 gallon but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I searched this forum and Big Al's etc and cant find any info anywhere. It seems the largest is the 500 series.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Anthony

I can't remember for the life of me but I swear I saw an aquaclear 1000 maybe I'm going crazy. If anything I think it's thier old series of filters before they changed to the new series 100-500?
Otherwise I know thier powerheads are numbered in series like that 1000, 2000, etc. and they have a filter attachment for them. I'm sure someone else knows for sure.

According to Hagen's website

http://www.hagen.com

There's no mention of an AC1000 and the powerheads are in the hundreds and 2000, 3000, 4000.

As far as enough filtrations, I have 2 - AC500's on my 150G along with a Magnum 350/Bio-wheel canister...and that's plenty...I think 2 - AC500's alone would probably be on the low side.

I have an AC2000 filter. This is over 10 years old and is the same size as todays AC500. So if these are older hagen filters I would assume AC1000 could be the size of a AC300 or 200.
I have also sent email to hagen various times and they are very good at getting back to you with answers.

i got a second hand ac500 recently that is for 100+ gallon tanks so the others are probaby right and the 1000, 2000s etc are what they used to call em...its irritating when they change product names on us. confuses everyone:mad:
