IMO, they look great aside from the bio-wheel. I had bad luck with a small Penguin bio-wheel HOB and wouldn't buy another.

Same experience.
But anyways back to your question, i dont have that exact filter but i recently bought a HOT magnum filter to try out and so far its doing fine. I have yet to try the micron water polisher but i think i need to. Ill let you know how it goes if you want.

Holy crap! :eek3:

I just looked at the link from the Marineland site, and saw the price. For that pricing, get an AC 110 and AquaTop CF400UV! Even the biggest (rated for 92 gallons) Eheim Classic 250 is 2/3 of that price, and I don't think anyone will call Eheim inferior to Marineland in terms of canister filters. http://www.amazon.com/EHEIM-Classic...&ie=UTF8&qid=1381414399&sr=1-1&keywords=eheim

Granted, it's cheaper on Amazon, but I don't like the idea of a HOB canister. It seems kinda big to be hanging off the side of the tank, and would just go for a regular canister.

Fyi, the HOT 250 is comparable to an AC 70 in size. An AC 110 or Emperor 400 take up twice the space.

I'm sure. I was more making a reference to better options for most applications for the same price as the one in the Marineland link thank trying to imply that an AC 110 is actually going to fit on the tank. I'm not even sure it would fit at all, without knowing the dimensions of the tank. My opinion is that a standard (as opposed to HOB) canister filter is a better option for the price he's willing to pay, according to the Amazon link for the HOT Magnum Pro, and that Eheim is a well regarded filter at a similar price point with better filtration ratings.
