I am wondering if this canister filter would be worth buying. Fleabay has it for $60.00 but I just dont know about the quality of it and it has a flow rate of 500gph which is what I am looking for. Any help is appreciated.

Im using one right now on a 40B with my sunsun filter :)
im running 1000 gph on that tank.

The filter is doing good keeping my Black water crystal clear :) look fresh make me want to drink it. HA! Every problem people was having with the filter seem to be fix. new o-ring on the red valve barb.

IMO the filter is a mini of the fx5, you can also cut the sponge to make it look like the Marineland Magnum 350, which will do 2x the work :)

What do you mean by cutting the sponge?
All the reviews ive read had not so good things to say. Alot of them end up leaking everywhere. Plastic pieces are pretty flimsy.
Ok, thanks.
