Comes in 4 sizes, I have the 55 and 75 models. Great for using custom media. skimmer works like a charm, its a good HOB filter.
Not perfect though. It is a tad bit flimsy, can be rattly if its not all snug, and if the water level is low, it will rattle itself loose, making more noise, and when the filter gets clogged up, it sounds like a waterfall. Skimmer will suck up air when water level gets low, making a loud churning noise, and again, rattling things loose.
I have it running side by side with an emperor 400 and honestly aside from the bio-wheels its a better performing filter. Higher flow rate, the media is a breeze to clean, change, and setup as needed, and it starts like a champ everytime.

A great pump for water circulation. Moves a good amount of water, and moves it over a wide area, instead of the normal powerhead stream that shoots out in a straight line. The magnetic suction cups work great, and it can be positioned to point in almost any direction aside from straight up or down.
The only downside, and it is not a big one, is that it has lots of white text on it, which detracts from the look of the tank.

great algea wafers, all the fish tear them up, even the Mbuna. Just the small size (normal actually, just small for an 11" pleco) can be a pain.

works great, very noticable growth. However if I plant it less than 1" under the gravel, the dojo loaches will dig it up.

More art than functional fishtank. Heaters for it just sit akwardly on the bottom, and the halogen light gets HOT. Have to stuff the food in a little hole or remove the light, which every time you risk dropping it into the tank. If the fish are not right up front or in the very back of the tank you cannot see them due to the fishbowl effect of the orb.
It looks pretty though!

After defrosting it, I pour it in and the fish tear it apart before it gets to the bottom. Usually have to distract them on one end of the tank and drop it in the other. Well loved by the fish as a treat.

Nothing special with the cichlids, they eat it like any other food, but the catfish and loaches go nuts for it. No health problems in the 8 months of use.

I use 4 of these in my 225G and I can grow anything requiring high light. Has a bright white hue, no coloring, so the fish colors are not enhanced like they can be with other bulbs, but the plant growth is phenomenal.

Nothing stellar, the fish eat it, they just don't go crazy for it. Has a balanced nutrition, though there are better foods on the market. Makes a good cheap staple.

$45 for a 50 foot siphon system, I'll take it. Use it all the time, comes with everything you need to mount it to a sink, and it does its job. It also has quick release tubing attachments, so you can remove the tubing from either end very easily, and reattach it just as easy.
