hello all!

I've recently come across a canister filter for my 75 gal, & unfortunately, this almost-new hang-on-back filter is of no use to me now. Hoping to get atleast some of my money back

Its a MarineLand, Penguin 200, bio-wheel power filter. I still have the original box to it and instructions, although for the sake of shipping costs (so that the package and contents will all fit in a medium size box) I would like to break down the original packaging down flat, so it'll fit in my shipping box.

It filters 200 gallons per hour, its rated for up to a 50 gal tank, & uses "rite-size" C filter cartridges.

Like i said this is basically new, I have the filter and 2 completely unused filter cartridges, & another filter cartridge that was used on a freshly-set-up 75 gal for only 3 days....so you could even use that one too, its disease-free I promise, & the carbon is gonna still be good on it.

I'd like to try to get $45- thats including the shipping costs, & ofcourse the 3-pack of filter cartridges. In perfect working condition, basically new!

I tried taking pictures to show some of the filters qualities. It has 2 slots in it to hold 2 filter cartridges for added filtration which i can personally attest works great! cleans the water FAST! It has 2 seperate covers, one covering the bio-wheel and the other covering the cartridges. The long filter intake tube has the main filter intake attachment at the bottom and also includes an adjustable mid-level intake, to not only take in water from near the bottom but also at mid-level

PM for any questions/interest!

i dont mean to bust on your sale but most places you can get this filter, brand new, plus the 3pack of filter catridges for under $40 shipped.
 
my goodness what did it cost new?
 
ok people, i just want this thing out of here its taking up space and being unused, with no intention of ever using it again- $25 is the lowest i'll go- $11 of that is in shipping costs (priority mail 2-3 day shipping), so your getting this almost-new filter with 3 new cartridges for $14. I'd like to ship it out with my other orders this upcoming monday
 
Did you have any problems with it restarting when you would turn it off? I know that has been a common problem with this one. I need an extra for my 55 as my extra on my 55 just went out but I am debating this one because of the issues I have heard others have with this model.
 
i havent had any issues with it at all. when you would shut it off as long as u would pour a cup of water in it, it would be fine. if you run it dry it will harm your motor

the filter has been sold
