I finally ordered my sample Tom Rapids Pro mini Canister filter to test out at the house. I put it together tonight and we shall see. It puts out about the same flow as the 501 that I have. I did take out the flow indicator as it might have prevented higher flow rates. People had been saying that these units dont seal well after you open them up and replace the media. In a week I am going to open it and put it back together.

On another note the VP of sales said that they sell alot of units per year and when I asked if it was over 10K he said yes. I know that people dont like the unit and had posted problems about them and all of those that posted I sent those complaints over to him.

I have also been trying to get them to produce a small under the tank canister like the old 2211 by Eheim. They did produce some canisters a few years back but they didnt do so well against all the units that are out there. I think that a small unit like the 2211 would be a good addition to the hobby. What do you think?
