Adrienne Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I don't have one of these but I do have a sun sun. Its very reliable, easy to start up and I would buy another one if I needed a filter. One thing which I have recently learnt is that UV sterilisers work better when the water moves through the sleeve slowly. Too fast and its not nearly as effective. I also learnt that at least 24watts of UV is the minimum amount required to be an actual steriliser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinnadian Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 We have a 302 and find it quite good and quiet. A bit of a pain to restart compared to Eheim but a good filter for a fraction of the price. My readings around UV filters agreed with what Adrienne said, also UV will pretty much only kill green water and not much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelt Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hey, I've go one of these 404b models. Super quiet, I don't know the state pump volume is right when full of media, but, it still has done a fine job keeping water clear and in check. Easy to start up, attachments are fairly brittle plastic but fine if you handle with care. I've got my stuff with sponges and bio media including purigen, given my discus have taken to spawning on a regular basis I'd guess the fish are happy to. Certainly recommend. A couple of good sellers on trademe, very fast delivery as well, a1trader or pump-planet, both good to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelt Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Don't forget to post an update on how you find it once up and running. When I was first looking there weren't too many reviews so will help others in the future. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
