There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First of all I received my item in very good conditions and before the time it was supposed to be delivered.
Let me tell you that eventhought I have not set it up yet, I checked it up and looks like a very good product, one of the things that had kept me from buying this filter before was that I dont agree with the idea of continuosly buying cartridges.
After the unboxing of this item I realized how easy it was to customize the mechanical media not to be spending all that money on buying cartridges over, if you dont want to. So, with very little imagination you fix the problem and get your costomized mechanical media same as with the aquaclear.
Furthermore you have the biowheels plus, biowheels are actually a wet dry system on a HOB, no HOB in tthe market offers you this feature.
I reckon.
Customizable mechanical and biological media, plus wet dry system (biowheels) and a very nice outflow makes emperor 400 a fitrer that couldnt miss in yout fish room.
I consider myself a die hard on aqualears, however Emperor 400 is a very interesting, fun and efficient machine, I just had to have one!.
As soon as I have it starting on I' ll edit this review, Im sure that my further input will be positive.
Cheers.
Update.
Today is 7/7/13 and at last got item starting on, so far o good, I decided not to use the cartrigdes yet because I cut my own floss pads to fit in and see how it turns out, got filter matured using some ceramic rings which had already been in another mature filter for a couple of months only rinsed them up and filled up the two basket with them, I also placed a thin layer of floss pads in the same two baskets besides the cermic rings to polish water even more, it is working a treat.
Filter is very quiet, I didnt have that touble of a noisy filter others write about, biowheels are fun to watch and water is cristal clear, good purchasing for the money.
Update:
1/11/14
Filter still running without an issue at all, water cristal clear and biowheels are fun to watch!.
