Anyone try these new fluvals cannister filters out. Totally new look and design to them. Box says good to 400 gal and where I live it costs 350.00.

My local LFS told me recently that there was a better one on the market now but even at that lower cost they were still going to put Eheims in all tanks at home.

Have a look in [link=My Profile]http://

Seems like only the professional version has the smart chip. The normal one is just an upgraded 04.

I was just about to buy a 04 from Big Als, then i decided to check back here and oh look what i found lol. Good thing i procrastinated on buying this filter.

oh and for any one who hasnt seen:

Is there anyway to get more info?
