Actually Im surprised becasue we all know the FX5 was the same price if not more when it first came out and the G6 will probubly drop in price as well. Also it looks like Fluval has finally decided to do it right and stick with Circumference style large surface area filtering, albeit propitiatory cartridges which is where they know they can make their money as most Aquarist have gotten smart and no longer buy their media for their basket type filters. However with those plastic cart frames I can already see myself wrapping sponge or poly fill around a gutted used up G-filter and using it over and over again LOL. But they know most will never try that and will pay the big bucks. I wouldent be surprised if the filter drops in price but the carts stay pricey.
Im interested and want one, but until when the price gets below 2 bills or someone need the money, Im not that interested and have bigger fish to fry (pun):laugh:.
Rod, you like carts, I bet this filter has you biting at the bits. If you find one dirt cheap as you always do, for your safety send it to me for a few months testing.
