Hey.. More power to ya.. I am happy they worked out for you..these 'cheap' knock offs have been running with no issues for over 2 years..IMHO worth the $50 investment..
I wanted to try one to see how it would perform.. so far it's been good. far better than I expected.
when considering the investment we make in our aquariums.. it was worth it to test.
if you don't have $150 - $200 to invest in a good canister.. this will get you into a descent one at a good price.
