gotta hate the filters...

all right, my top fin 30 and other filter are starting to filter...basically nothing...they are slowing down alot, and the overflow area is putting out more water than the "filtered water" area

anyways, i'm planning on getting a new filter in the next week or two, and was wondering what you guys recommended

let me know!

it seems that the emperor is the best filter for my tank...it has 280gph, which would barely put me under the recommended 10X

I voted Aquaclear, since you can get the replacement media and parts darn near anywhere, and they're very reliable. My 300 (now called the 70 model) is coming up on 17 years old and is still going strong. The only piece that ever need replaced was the impeller, because I was a goof and dropped it when cleaning it, cracking the magnet. And it's not like it has had an easy life on my tank...

I like my emperor 280, but it seems to get tempermental when I start and stop it during a water change or cleaning. Once I couldn't get it to work and went buy a filter at wal-mart for a back-up. Brought the 280 back to my LFS, they plugged it in and BAM it was working. Made me look like a fool I tell you. Brought it back home and been working as long as I don't stop it.

I would suggest the emperor one size above the 280.
