i dont know seems to be a hi tech filter w/o alot of flowrate but alot of price:wacko:. the technology sounds good but for the prices i could get a wet dry sytem or a few fx5s and still be cheaper. what do you guys think? all you are paying for is the computer and the laquer finish lol.

pretty fancy piece of canister! Where is the good ol' corner plastic box with air pump goes? I like it simple yet cheap

But if the canister monitor pH, dKH, Salinity, CA level, nitrate, nitrite, Ammonia, Copper levels...I will definitely buy it

Its cool but I can monitor all those things myself for about the cost of a thermometer and the time it take to pick up the outtake and see how the flow is. Ill stick with my non digital filters.

I agree that the price is too high. Hagen just demo'd the filter at TFW and gave us a cost sheet for the filters. I can't see spending more on a new filter than on a complete 55 set-up.

What a shame. Fluval put too much thought into their product.
