monty703 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Ive used the canister filter (Toms Rapid Mini one) it comes with a spray bar. Found it to be good but the spray bar the shrimps didn't like at all. I have had the Finnex filter, only problem is if you don't have the lid on the tank the water level evaporates very fast in summer and your filter runs dry once it goes below the required water level (same as the Aquaclear filters) Eheim inside filter I tried that one too....found the bottom kept coming apart all the time...gave it away. Shrimp and lobster pellets I have here, but have found the shrimps don't eat them...neither did my crayfish and they get all fluffy looking so you need to vaccum them up all the time. I like the new breeder boxes though....where did you get the price on them? LED light looks cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty703 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Sorry about that, but you want some input from people who've used these I would imagine? Not saying they aren't any good, just my personal take on some of them. Keep posting things like this, we all like to review the ones we've used, as that give you an idea of some of the things that the manufacturers don't tell you. Im sure many other people on here have different experiences with these, so lets hear from someone else. Maybe Im the only one with problems.

chibikaie Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 In my experience with aquatics, I've found that simpler is the way to go. The fancier and more awesome something looks on paper, the more difficult and annoying it is to deal with in real life. I went all out and bought and used a Fluval Fx6 - ended up selling it as it was just too big, heavy, and awkward to maintain. If I had longer arms and stronger muscles, it would be a different story, but then I discovered the Hamburg mattenfilter. They just dominate the arena in terms of maximum efficiency for minimum maintenance. Regarding Omega One, I found that my rabbit snails prefer their algae/veggie wafers to fancy Cologne Shrimp Food snail pellets. Go figure!
