What does the guy who's selling them say about how they work?

By the way I can sell you a brand new Aquaclear 500
(called a 110 now)
for the same price as the electricity to run these
is going to cost in 2 months.

Hi,

They may be "easy to use" they look about as safe as gasoline and matches.

There are many good filters on the market. Shop around.

That's no Eheim.I used those filters when I used to mix all
my fish together-convicts,neons,goldfish,oscars,barbs,pirahna's in a 20 gallon tank.
They are noisy,not very efficent filtration wise or energy wise
(good point Ned),plus I wouldn't trust those leaking etc.
Buy an Aquaclear that works well and will not cause you
headaches.

That Danner is archaic to say the least. I suggest you use it though, so that you can experience the frustration for yourself. I like the aquaclear filters as well. Just watch that the aquaclear does not spill over the back. It should not be a problem if you follow the directions, but if you like to experiment with different filtration media and have bad habit of midifying every piece of aquarium equipment that you buy, than you may run into a little spilling with the aquaclear. Good luck

Ned,
Do not worry so much and do not give up. I think that you have a very good chance of waking up tomorrow and living thru the day. What do you think? When was the last time you did not wake up or survive the day? I think your odds are pretty good and I'm rooting for you.
Plus, I'm not trying to prevent a sale for you. I was being sarcastic about using the danner's, but I guess that text doest show your emotions very well.

Alex,
You'll need the aquaclears in the meantime while you build your custom setup. Your project will probably take twice as long as you expect it to and you'll probably change your design midway thruough because you didnt think of everything that could possibly go wrong. At least that is how my projects always go. Expect to make extra trips to the harware store also, or buy lots of extra parts. This is why aquarium equipment cost so much money. It can save you from a massive DIY nightmare.
If you buy the aquaclears from Ned, he will probably give you a lot of excelent free advice and ideas for you custom setup. While your out near neds, I would suggest going to "worms way" they are a hydroponic specialty shop about 20 min from neds and the have a website that you can look them up at. If your going custom, then I would recomend going hydroponic. Just make sure you take the humidity into account.

I looked at those again.If those were left on a bench in downtown
Boston,the bomb squad would be called in.


Ned-you should be in the Ned complaining section.

See you friday night-bringing down fish I need to get rid of-
some bread and butter,some good.Taking down a couple tanks.
Will call.

Alex,seriously I do most of my buisness w/Ned.When I first started
out again I probably saved hundred's in good advice.You will not
find that at most chain stores or other stores in the area for that
matter.
