I haven't used one myself. I think they provide enough filtration for about 300 gallons [1200 L] I don't think they'll be anything wrong with putting one of these filters on your tank, you certainly wouldn't have to clean it for a few months anyway:laugh:

The only thing that would concern me is these filters are extremely big, bigger than your average canister filter. A filter like this probably will not fit in the cabinet under your tank. I've never put a canister at the side of the tank, but I would imagine it would be okay. Might be a little noisy and unsightly though

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved
