dude_753 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 they seem happy as anything, going to go very lightly on the feeding for a few days just to b on the safe side. Seems to be no problems at all but hey there fish, anything can suddenly go wrong. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 9th one i have replaced in the past 5 weeks. I found out the problem with the last one, the filter some how keeps warping the impellor shaft DONT NO HOW! Oh well, time to invest in a fluval The Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtr73 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Geez! What brand filter we talking about here??? Have a look at these guys for an Eheim or your Fluval . . . http://www.aquariumsuppliesaustralia.com.au/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude_753 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 there has been 7 aquapro/ pro aqua and not sure the brand on the other one (white one with uv light from AOA) Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorman Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 There lies your problem Just buying cheap crap If you invest in a decent brand you will not have these problems You dont have to go upto the Eheims and Fluvals but go for an AquaOne I sell heaps of them have virtually no problems Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetpetz Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Don't you mean that the white filter came from Guppy? Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 8:45 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I noticed this; http://www.guppysaquariumproducts.com.a ... od_28.html was posted the other day as a recommendation. I don't understand how this filter can have an Aust. compliance power cable fitted that is rated for lower wattage than the filter's motor, let alone the UV lamp. I'm not very good at technical details, but if my past experience is any indication, having any problems rectified by the importer will be frustrating and unsatisfactory. Can anyone clarify this?

Simple design, Italian made, no frills but reliable and honest - the pump rate is actually what it says and not a Chinglish approximation as I've found with cheapos. Had a Marathon 1000 for over 10 years and all I've done is replace the impellor which had a worn stainless steel shaft (but still worked) and put in a new ceramic shaft impellor. Unfortunately you can't get them in Australia anymore apart from the small Marathon 300 at AOA. I need a new canister myself, to replace a crap cheapo that lasted 2 years, so for me I'll be getting an Eheim Classic I think. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
