I am finally going with a fluval 404 from a 303


i am thinking of a duel intake system on in the left coner as seen in my

WHAT DO YOU THINK topic and one maybe at the 1/3 tank area just to help promote more waste being picked up


the second idea is getting a solid plastic intake tube and run it on the bottom of the tank with 3 slits in it length wise since the exhaust (clean) water is being entered on the top of the tank i think the solid tube on the bottom might work much better then the "standard" intake


any openions will be taken

I am surprised after owning a fluval your interested in buying another one. Of all of the canisters I own, the fluvals are my least favorite. I am not saying to not get a fluval, just make sure you check out the other manufacturers as well.

i have had NO problems with my 303 and its old as hell

i am going with a 404 because of the higher flow compared to the 303 and its not like i need the higher #s but i think it will help keep the tank cleaner esp witht e intake tube im thinking up
