Looks pretty good, but its a small photo so tricky to tell. Most externals work on the same basis so providing they've not done anything too stupid I cant see it being too bad, worth a punt if you can get it cheap.

Yup, had one for about a week. Did a review of it, here... http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=6008

I ended up selling it on again on ebay. I'd say the flow rating is fair, but the noise was really noticable, and was the main reason for it going.

I looked at the link and they quote

Top quality 1200 ltr motor with a high quality resin to seal the motor and to ensure low noise output.

So maybe my unit was defective. The ebay seller I bought it from didnt quote that, so I didnt bother chasing it up. If the price was right it might be worth a try!

Looks very similar to a Hydor Prime filter. Not sure how good or bad the prime was, but might give you a better chance of finding a review. Also, the prime is no longer in production I believe.

Thanks Dave, missed that review all together looks like I will give it a miss for now!
