Alright, yeah I'm a big fan of the renas as well I love mine. But as you said I love aquaclear as well. And since price is an issue I will probably go with the aquaclear. Unless I find a used rena or something.

Never used marineland before... will look into it. And will also look into cheap renas.
The 400 is a HOB biowheel filter rated for up to 80g. I bought this on-line and was going to use it on my 29g. I then purchased the new Marineland LED top for the 29g and found out the filter did not fit with the lid. I ended up having to get a Penguin 350 to fit the 29g. I got the filter for around $45, so I am wanting $20 for it. Like I said its new, I peeled off the upc and got a $10 rebate but otherwise unused.

I'm going to buy Ds emperor from him tomorow. But if you do have ac 110 you want to sell, I will buy it from you as well, I have a tank that could use a little more filtration. Let me know how much you want for it, and when your able to meet up and I will glady purchase and meet. Thank you for the offer. I'm mostly just trying to jump on getting this tank set up before D and madness come over and beat me up for taking to long. I am not fully broke, just don't have 70$ right now to buy new. Again thanks for the offer and let me know please.
Hey for $20, new in box you cant go wrong!
The only thing I would do is mod the filter media. Dont waste the money on the cartridges! I am working on this with my Penguin 350. I bought these to use: http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4136+11352&pcatid=11352
I bought 1 kit and a couple extra of the plastic clam shells for $1.19 a piece and am going to use the blue bonded filter material and sponge in mine. And according to Marineland you are NEVER supposed to replace the bio-wheel...

For some reason I thought this was an emperor, still marineland has good stuff too. I have never used it before but I read good things. I wonder witch of the clamshells they sell fits the marineland.
Emperor is a model line made by Marineland. This is considered their "Pro" series. The Penguin stuff is a little lower end. The clam shell and filter system I linked are aftermarket. Marineland would love for you to spend the money on their filter media 
:
The filter your getting does have two new filter cartridges with it, so its ready to use.

Alright first pic is for Betty
Its not pretty back there, but it does give me enough room to get to the tank for general upkeep.
K remeber this.
Now it looks like this.
As you can see there's still air bubbles and its pretty cloudy. But I am happy with the scape. Now to cycle. I
am going to speed up the process by seeding the filter. I am not to sure I'm happy with the lighting its a little dark, but it looks cool at night, its like subtle light.
Obviously I don't have my shells in yet, they will go in when I move the multies over. Anyway hope you enjoyed. And I will update as I add fish and as things play out.

Thank you, and I'm not a bad influence..... fish isent a bad habbit. At least I'm not pushing crack on you or something. I am happy with the layout of it all. But its pretty dark, might be looking into some new lighting soon. I don't know we will have to see, I kinda like it darker, but I think it would be more "showy" if I had brighter lights on it. And since its in the wall kinda showcased I might want to make it a little more showy.

Oh and the filter is spot on for what I wanted. Thank you. And all the fish in my 180 ate that food as well, and they seemed to like it.
The Xtreme?
I wish I would have got the bigger 3mm stuff but thats what the company recommended to me and I listened. :suspect:
But on a happy note Omega One was on sale at Petco so I stocked up and have food for a while now.
Glad the small pellets worked out for your fish!
