This makes me happy.

So I was coming home from getting gas today, and when I turned in my neighborhood, I saw a garage sale. I did what EVERYBODY does, and glaced at what was there. The word "Marineland" caught my eye. IMMEDIATLY I pulled over and stopped. I get out, and low and behold, there was a BRAND NEW Penguin 350, still in the box, with the attatchments still sealed in the bag. $20 was all they wanted, so I got it.

Now, I have 2 big filters instead of 1 big filter and 3 small ones. When I get paid again, I am going to get another 350, so I will have AWESOME filtration.

A question though. There is a little grey flap on the intake tube. Should I open it, or just leave it closed?

Congrats on your find! Eagle eyes for spotting it!

No idea about the flap though. Someone else I'm sure will help!

Thats the mid-level strainer, I think. It pulls the higher "floaties" or wastes out of the water. I leave it open on mine. Figured it can't hurt anything.
If thats what your talking about...

Can't beat that deal though! I paid more for my 200 lol

i dont use my middle piece. i placed my 2 HOB's so that one has a intake towards the top (biowheel), and one towards the bottom (aquatech)

lol, i have the same filter on the 55g, and it splashes so much my glass covers literally have algae growing on them
