Has anyone tried one of these canisters ? Seems cheap but I'm thinking it might work great for polishing the water up and extra bacteria surface {sponges} . I don't believe you can run media or carbon with this unit . Thinking of running it along side a fx5 .

or ?

I have heard from a friend that they are decent for the price but I am not really sure

I imagine it would work well as a Purigen/bio media filter, with little restriction you should not have a problem. If you try it out let us know what you think

A couple people on Trophs.com were using them . They stated in threads.. last year that they work really well . If you google that filter it may pull up those threads along with a couple from some guys on plantedtank.com . All in alll....I've heard good things about that filter . It's just a Fluval FX5 knock off . All of the FX5 parts fit this filter .

Hahaha funny thing is I was looking at this and the CFS 11/14i. Good price and on YouTube the 500 pushed a decent amount of water.

I would be scare , at the first i was gonna buy one in ebay
But that brand is the same as jebo i think , one jebo i use to have mess up a seal and a lot of water on the floor aint funny i just got lucky the canister was on a bucket and did not spill on the floor

I've read good things about them as well only negative I've read was about gaskets going bad quick but they say buy extras $3 so not bad I think
