Oh, no!! I ain't been dipping. Diving is the word.
I think I got the story straight, though. Let's see --- hmmmm. AC.....Fluval. Fluval......AC..... maybe it was the other way around........hmmmmm. Oh, well. Half of one, six dozen of the other.
Glad we sorted this out. Things have been getting a bit dull around here lately.. 8)

Had 304 for a while, & hate it, good for the bio-load & unobtrusive, but unreliable. impellers break in use, sometimes after only a few weeks. Dont have the aquaclears here, next tlme I will be buying Eheim pro for externals.

Lauro,
I also use an acquaclear 500, with one foam, ceramic noodles, blue bioballs, the ones from wet/dry, and carbon sometimes. I had an fluval, but I find this one much easier, actualy I have three, but using only one. It's easy to take the stuff in and out withoult turning it off, more air inside, if it stops, it can take more time , because of the oxygen, easy to clean and to acess.
Any more questions , just ask me, I know filters.
Hey Lauro you can talk to me in portuguese, if you have messenger, I have lots a friends in Brazil, S.Paulo, Rio, Para, etc.
Cuidado com esses peixes.

Re:Fluval 304 or AquaClear 500?
Lauro, you bought the two, good for you.
Use the ceramic noodles and bioballs in the fluval make shure you are using a good pre-filter, so that way you don't need to open that much. The reason that I use noodles and bioballs, or only bioballs, is because they good for bacteria to grow, and because they are large open spaces you can see easealy when they need a rinse, foam will get clogged much faster, use it on the AC 500, w/ carbon, or something else.
The QUESTION IS are you not overfiltering the tank, I use only one AC 500 for 65 Gal, every day 10% Water change, and its excelent.
Here in Toronto, the AC 500 cust $85 cnd , and the fluval 104 about the same, the 404 it's $150 cnd, a lots of money,
I have 3 AC 500 but using only one, only one tank w/ seven discus,
Tchau, se precisar de mais imformacao e so dizer,
See you
Joao
