Simple design. Extra foam for added filtration. Three customizable baskets, with 6 compartments for different media. Comes stocked with good media. Easy to set up. You can change the flow rate. Double stop valve. Simple start siphon.

Definately a good build quality. Alot of places seem to overprice these filters. For example, i first found out about it in a lfs, and they were asking $225 for the filter. So shop around online, because i got mine new for about $170.

Great filter. It came with a very easy-to-follow step-by-step setu-up guide on a dvd.
