pony-tail Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 If you have messy fish - Fluval 105 . If not use the Eheim Fluval is easier to maintain and clean but has less surface on the media not a lot of difference in the flow . I have both and use them where they are because they are suited to the particular purpose - also the Aqua one CF canisters are OK and cheap the CF 700 is about the same price - the taps start leaking after about 3 years but replacements are available and not that expensive . My personal preference for ease of use is the Fluval but I dislike their hoses and hook overs . Also the fluval is by far the least fragile . I have 4 @ Eheim 2213 2@Fluval 105 2@fluval 205 2@Aqua One CF700 1@Aqua One CF500 1@Aqua one CF1000 . I like the Fluval 205 the best on a 3foot tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdeal Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Aqua One canisters are crap. We dont sell them anymore due to all the issues with leaking seals. Fluvals are way better. Ehiems are a pain if you set them up with pads or carbon in the middle because to get to the centre all the media above has to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdeal Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Fluval hoses are awesome dont kink up allow tighter angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
