Just thought I would chime in with some info about who SunSun is:

http://www.sunsun-china.com/en/Compa...owse.aspx?id=1

I am thinking strongly about pimpin one myself. Gotta wait til after I break down my tanks for a move and begin a rebuild of the whole thing.

Best wishes,

Wes

Thinking about making my first canister a Sunsun. What are opinions about the built-in UV option vs. buying a stand alone unit. I would think a stand alone UV would be better as you could move it from tank to tank as needed. Your thoughts?

I agree with you farmhand. I have heard some people mention that the lights are nice to have internally, but I have also heard that the plastic the filter is made of isn't resistant to UV and could degrade over time.

How quiet are these?

I need a new filter for a tank in my living room and the other half will DESTROY ME if it makes any noise.

No personal experience here ... But I have been folowing the posts on a few forums from ppl that own them ... they say that they are quiet .. some say dead quiet.

Lookin' forward to the time I get mine set up on my tank.

Best wishes,
Wes

Sounds like an awesome filter for the price. Are these things UL listed?
