i only use canisters, to me HOB's and UGF are obsolete.

i have a fluval 105, 205, 305, 405, FX5, 3 hydor canisters, a Tom mini canister, and a Resun canister. the smaller canisters are on my tanks 10g-20g and the others are on my larger tanks

my 10g has a fluval 105
15g long brackish has a 205
90g has a 405 and fluval FX5
55g reef has the mini canister
305 is on the FOWLR SW
hydors and resun arent in use

No option for canisters? I use a combination of the 2 depending on the tank.

I do have the 2 bio-wheels (HOBs) running on the 55g...but I don't like them...too hard to prime - dread cleaning them out...

When they die, I'll replace them with AC 70s I think...

Uh so I guess I voted other as I was not sure what an AC110 falls under since it uses a sponge and it is a power filter

I only use Aqua Clears...(minus my two on the new 55 gallon that will get upgraded to AC's... still HOB's though..) I don't prefer canisters...

I have all ACs now but I voted for Power filter. Maybe that's not the right catagory.

I run AquaClears on my tanks and love them. I've had Whispers and AquaTechs before, but they ended up in the trash quicker than one can say "piece of crap" ... :hmm3grin2orange:

Since Big Als has HOBs under "Power filters", I clicked on power filters.
