I received this filter today after waiting weeks for its arrival from Hong Kong http://www.ebay.com/itm/110845630323?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
This is an incredibly accurate reproduction of the now discontinued Tetra Double Brilliant air powered filter. Where the German had a green plastic, this has a black plastic. All the rest is as I remember them.
I loved these when I was breeding discus in Westford, MA years ago. Two of these in a breeder tank with the output set above the water level and you're good to go.
My only concern with this filter is the chemical smell in the foam. I believe I will rinse these in fresh water for a couple of days to be on the safe side.
Cost? Under five bucks shipped. And they don't take up space on the tank bottom which makes cleaning a heck of a lot easier!!
If I was going to be breeding fish again, I'd get 30 of these!
