I think these are great filters, I run the 1400 and 2000 on my tanks, cheap do what they are suppose to, easy maintenance and the customer service is good IF there is a problem. The spare parts are a fraction of the cost of other filter makes too.

The early models are a pain in the whatsiname, but the new models are easier. If when you clean them out, you remove the hoses from the top of the canister using the stop lock, but open the stop lock into a bucket releasing all the water from the outlet, you never need to prime it again
