Hey everyone
I'm new to the fish forum and I needed some help or opinion on a particular filter.
The filter is a Haqoos canister filter (or Haooos?) Heres the link: (hope im not violating anything)
New HAOOS External Canister Aquarium Filter Up to 100G - eBay (item 360135625975 end time Jun-29-09 10:23:58 PDT)
Heres the thing with this filter, its cheap, running for $50 on ebay atm. This will actually be my second purchase of this filter, the first one died not too long ago (after a year)...What happened was I accidentally clicked the Reset/Off button on my Power strip and after that, my filter stopped working.
The ad for the filter claims to work for up to 100G tank ( I have a 55gal), I've used it and my water was always clear but I would notice that it wouldn't really suck floating poop/debris into the filter/tube that was taking in the water (not sure if that matters?). It has 5 baskets for different filtrations, one is for the Activate Carbon, Bio-balls, white Bio-Ring, and Sponge looking thing. The thing is my water always looked clear but I always had a feeling it doesn't work but then again it never seemed to give me any problems. But I've never had any other filter or the "name brand" ones so I couldn't compare it to another filter. I was hoping some of you more experienced fish keepers can help me out on this?
