    Looks like a sun sun? I believe people here use them. I'm really happy with my eheim although I will be going to a sump soon.

    Just make sure you check the watts. There are a lot of good cheap filters, but most use a lot of power.

    I have a friend that uses 2 sun sun filters, it would have to be a really cheap deal for me to get one.
    Otherwise I would look for Fluval or Eheim. I have 2 Fluvals 306 and used Eheim before.
    Depending where you live you can check out Craigslist and sometimes get a good deal, just keep in mind when buying used I would change the seal gaskets to avoid leaks.

    I run a sun sun on my planted tank. Been going for two years straight without a single problem.

    My Sunsun- 404A(2000 mph declared flow ) has decreased its real flow from 1200 lph initially to 700 lph in less than a year .
    This is partly my fault because I tend to shut it off during feedings , and that happens a lot on a daily basis , when you growing juvvies .
    It also spends a lot of electricity running 50 watts per hour .
    Other than that , I'm fairly satisfied with it .

    Yes there flow rate is HIGHLY overrated even right out of the box. The stated flow rate is with no media and zero head height. Not a real world number.
