critter_crazy Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi guys, I'm looking at adding an additional filter onto my AR850 (already has the built in wet/dry filter). Not looking to spend too much money (under $100) since its only for back up filtration. Would this be any good? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/Fish/Pumps-filters/auction-392893013.htm Or is it worth the extra to splash out and get this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/Fish/Pumps-filters/auction-393297814.htm Do they come with all the attachments you need etc.? I haven't had a canister filter before so any advice is appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 First one's fine, Sunsun canisters have been proven, first hand experience, to be excellent value for money 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yup I've got one. Very good never conked out, but it did leak once, my fault a little sand on the o ring :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zdoda Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yup sunsun filters are great and yes they do come with all attachments etc , value for $$. have two of them on smaller tanks over the last 2 years roughly, haven't noticed any leaks/slow downess. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackp Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 don't you work at a vet clinic? i've got a mate who works at a vets and she gets really good discounts off aqua one products. i run a couple of aqua one cf1200s and while i've only had them a couple of months they seem very robust and good value.

critter_crazy Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Nah I wish! Studying a vert nursing cert from home. I've spoken to the guy on trademe and he's giving me a good deal :happy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I got one 2 weeks ago and am very pleased with it. It only came with a small amount of filter wool as media though, any other media was stated as optional. I will get the largest model at the end of the year, it has a built in uv filter which I have taken a shine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spoken to the guy on trademe and he's giving me a good deal :happy2: oh well, one day. are you getting it through boxturtle. he's really good, i've bought a few things off him. might look at the sunsun filters if i'm allowed to set up a 2nd tank. pick up the tank tommorow and have all the materials to make the stand in the garage. just have to get the nod from the mrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
