C-530 I think

That perfect filter isn't primed

Ben at Age of Aquariums in Brisbane has these parts Dave

Dump the inline heater. Buy a 2180 with inbuilt heater. 2078's go fine inline no issues whatsoever but its necessary to run them manually in any instance (not just online) I have a 500g I run 2 x 2180's 2 x 2080's and one 2078 on, all plumbed. no issues .

Go online to Ebay Australia or to Guppys Aquarium Supplies and buy a JT304B filter (SunSun HW-304B). A far better filter for around $99.

Eheim's are the top of the heap. Fluvals apart from the FX5 which is a good filter are frankly ...rubbish. The G6 is a gimmick wrapped in a marketing brochure and clogs up constantly while allowing massive bypass.

No pretty much all canister filters the water flows down then up through the baskets to the outlet

Bleach, boil, rinse,dry .... repeat x 3

That's a CFS-700 not a 500 in the picture but some of the specs are for a CFS-500 but the height I think is for a 700. The CFS-700 is the next model up and yes its quite a bit bigger then the 500 you already have. It also has a clear (see through) canister body. It also has a 650 gph pump not a...

You can't remove the bulb unless you replace it with another otherwise BZZZZZZZZZ you'd fry it (and your tank) .... you can only turn it off or on.

The Marineland 530 is made by Sun Sun for Marineland. They sell their version (either under SunSun or the Perfect brand) as a HW-304B at about 1/3 the price.

The first batch of containers of them are shipping out of China in February 2011 they will be for sale shortly afterward. They were supposed to be here before Xmas but we only got 300 series.

No the filter and its accessories are certainly solidly built.

I like stacked .... I like my water filtered in stages.

We shall have to agree to disagree Gunner .... I've never met a circumferential filter I liked .... and you have never met one you didn't like.

Just a quick update about operation of this filter. I've had this filter operating on a friends 125g tank containing about 12 large messy goldfish and a 12 inch pleco for 3 weeks now as the sole filtration. Since the tank was in a main living area the noise factor wasn't a issue. To obtain a...

These work well with FX5's at least ..... http://cgi.ebay.com/SUBMERSIBLE-FISH-TANK-WATER-PUMP-FOUNTAIN-POND-1450-GPH-/190423267593?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c561c7909

:iagree:

It will work better then the fluval 305 but that wouldn't be too hard.

They wouldn't do that it goes against everything the Chinese companies do. I'd say its a production issue, they have thousands of one particular size and they are going to use them up come hell or high water. Thats the kind of thing you do see often with the Chinese Aquarium companies.
