    I am using two SunSun filters for a year now and I learned that also to fill them after cleaning. A few times I broke a sweat pumping on those things not anymore. The only time mine leaked it was my fault I over tighten the plastic nuts for the hoses and broke them just used hose clamps to fix it.

    good to now I was looking inot these as well have any idea what the largest is rated for? gph and tank size? also I thought the ones with the UV had a bigger wattage availible? I know they have the one with the 9watt but I also thought they had one with a larger wattage than that? any extra helps I am sure, and I am sure they took into account of the gph of the filter in comparison to the uv light after all they made both rite? good to know it was a JBJ and marineland product?

    I know this is an old thread but I am looking for an inexpensive canister filter for a newly purchased 40 gallon breeder tank. I could not locate any of the SunSun filters on Ebay. Does anyone know of another source for these filters? I'd also be open to other suggestions.

    Regards;

    David

    They are still on ebay. They go by another name called "Perfect" or they are not labeled with a name. Mine is still running strong and I love it!
    http://cgi.ebay.com/PERFECT-AQUARIUM...item2c5ad6d6e6

    There is 3 different GPH rating to look for. I seen one for 64.99 BIN that is rated at 375gph. The link I shared is one rated at 265GPH.

    I've used the large sunsun canister with UV, and it does work great for the price. IIRC you can find a higher watt UV bulb to fit this unit online.

    There was a topic about sunsun canisters on the plantedtank.net a while back. People were saying they're more reliable then name brand ones due to leaking concerns...
