I saw in the pictures that you posted in the "Power Head question for new UV Filter" thread that you have a Filstar running.
How do you like it? Overall, maintenance wise, and filtration wise?
What media are you using in it? Are the bins big enough to use say.. eheim media properly?
I am using an Ehiem 2028 on my 77 gallon right now. I love but it is a bloody expensive filter. If I had the money I would gladly buy a second. But......
The reason I ask is. My work tank (a 50 gallon) is using a series 1 old fluval 403. The old style round ones. I HATE the bloody thing.
It is such a nightmare to clean and use.
I have the chance to pick up either a Filstar xP3 for $84.60 American (roughly $140 Canadian) or a Filstar xP2 for $64.80 American (roughly $107 Canadian) through my friend who is a wholeseller.
Both of those filters would work nicely in the 50 gallon. I have until Feburary 20th to decide. So I figured I would ask you about them since you own one.
Thanks.
