Specifically their heaters and filter
 
I love the Cascade canisters...they are a bit low on media volume, but are quiet, reliable, easy to maintain and start, and do a great job of filtration.
 
I loved my canister, I should never have sold ol' bessy. they make good produckt
 
are they good for 20 gallont tanks?

Sure...go with the Cascade 700 (I feel that the 500 is OK, but the 700 better...I use a 1000 on a 35 gallon tank with great results).
 
So what about the heater? Any reviews for that??
 
I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I have a PennPlax ThermaFlow PC (100 W) Heater. Whenever I unplug it, I have a re-adjust the temperature so that it just starts to maintain the temperature again. Even if I don't unplug the heater, it sometimes automatically adjust to a higher temperature without me knowing (raising the temp. all the way to 86F, which happened overnight) or even not turning on and resulting in a low temperature (to the point that it went all the way down to 64F, again, happening overnight). I have added a Elite 50W heater so that it wouldn't cause the temperature to swing at all (now it's constant at 79F)
 
Tried them. Had constant problems. Switched to Hagen. Much better!
