i like the one i have. why don't you like them?
i dont dislike then all that much, i had a fluval 404 and 304 on a 75 gal
still have them, but i disconnect the power cord and use them as pre filters
i got a marineland 360 and the flow is way higher then the two fluvals combined , plus has more media area then both conbined
fluval extremely overate there flow rate and gal size
the disconnect is very weak design, priming not good at all
the marineland you pump once maybe twice and there no back-flow thru intake
thats why fluvals have the ball in the intake but it restricts flow
fluvals also allow a lot of bypass
on a 55 gal i would put two fluval 404, 405 's
