Tanksman Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi Kyle I have opinions on Fluval canisters - but we won't go there 8) The 1200 would give you more bang for the bucks. It pumps (hopefully) more water than the 305. I don't know how noisy the cf1200 is but the cf700 is near silent. the cf700 is also rated similar to the 305 and is only about $130 new on TM. How big is the tank you want it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylejmorrison Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 what about Eheim i have quotes for Eheim Professional 2 $519.95 + $150.00 for substrate (which seem pricey to me) or Eheim 2028 Pro Kit Rated for 600L $479.90 Normally $599.90.

kylejmorrison Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 are these pumps heaps better than like a standard (dirt cheap) internal filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 They are better yes. I myself am a fan of the Jebo (different from the Jebao. I have Fluvals and Eheims and Jebos. Would not buy Fluvals again, my Eheim wet/dry has never run properly but the Jebos are brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I have to aggree with Caryl, My Jebo is the best one, its the 810 and it was $110. I have a Eheim 2213 and i dont think it runs properly. I have had a internal shark (Never again). IMO I'd go Jebo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I agree. *pats his Jebo 819* so pretty, whosss my cute lil' jeboooo (on more serious note, its silent, pumps hard, was cheap at $170 retail store, and holds a LOT of media (8 trays), oh and the media comes WITH the filter for FREE and includes carbon, coarse and fine pads, and two types of bio-noodles, also all the piping and spray bar, and a spill tray, plus 2 year warranty) I also have the smaller Jebo 810 ($130) which is great too. I beleive the Jebo 815 (~$150) is the closest to the Fluval 305 (as far as filtration goes, Fluval does have neat little extras) EDIT: Pawz bet me to the reply, and got her filter cheaper than me at $110 I'm going to go have to pop some caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejmorrison Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 So where is the best place to buy a jebo in chch (by best CHEAPIST) i think my tank is about 200-250 ltres so which model! You help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Ring around the shops and ask. I know Animates don't have them. I bought mine elsewhere so can't tell you ChCh prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
