Resun Magic-Jet Filter Magi-380

Is a good choice???

I'm not familair with that unit but I prefer to use undegravel filters.

Does the unit have a key or switch so you can throttle it down?

Read some of recent threads in sick axies...John advises of one or two conditions caused by too much current in tanks

Ok, i think i found a undergravel filter that looks ok. What do you's think...

Hagen Clearflow Undergravel Filter 10" x 20"
For 25 x 50cm aquarium

http://www.aquaticlifeaquariums.com.au/en-gb/dept_152.html

Its $10.50 plus postage. My local store wants $70 for it, is something wrong with this website??

By the looks of that, i think your local has either over priced it or they think they will get loads for it, is it the only local place that stocks things like this?

That looks good enough for the tank, I used to use a undergravel filter until I changed to sand, which is too fine to use with it.

Good luck

Nope thats cheap approx 3 aussie dollars per quid.
looks just fine
when selecting undergravel unit just pickone as close to tank base size as possible
