I have several Ehiem filters that I bought used. One was already 8 years old when I bought it and that was 10 years ago it's still kicking, no problems. They are built to last.

Wow... right now, the Fluval is kicking arse 13 to 1. I honestly did not expect that. Even more surprising is that I posted this same poll on multiple fish-related boards that I haunt... including one where I am a mod... and so far, the Fluval continues to kick arse.
I really find that surprising!

appreciate the input, Dave! as always, I have much respect for your opinions in this hobby.Ask Diana about Fluvals Rich.
I'm a fan of Eheims when I can afford them, and Renas when I can't. Want to try the Marinelands.
I know way too many people that know how to "repair" and replace parts on Fluvals for me to actually buy one to be honest. Scared me off of them before trying them.
I should say I don't know if it is a reflection of the sheer number of them used, or a reflection on the build quality itself - but the fact remains that a whole lotta people know how to cob pieces from multiple Fluvals together to make one workable filter, something I've never heard of the need for with Eheims (bar Eccos, which isn't the same quality as the classics or the high end ones from what I have been able to gather).
