Title says it all, if anyone has any heavy-duty canister filters laying around, I might be interested in buying it! I'd prefer a fluval fx5, but I will take any offers into consideration.

If you can't find a canister filter you could always make a "sump/filter" out of a old ten or twenty gallon.

Check out Petsmart.com

I think they are trying to clear out old stock. Sale is at $187.99 + tax. The catch is you have to pick up from a store. I just bought one and have to drive about 20 minutes away to get it. Total for a new FX5 with tax for me was $205.85. Will post if I have any issues.

When I went to get it the pick up slip said FX5/6. When I got it, guess what? Turned out to be an FX6! :D

Nice, thats a pretty good deal! everywhere else I see fx6 are $330. I just tried looking, and it says every store within 50 miles is out of stock :(

Been pondering over whether or not to get this filter... it's unfamiliar brand name and extremely high gph claim leave me a little wary though.

Ive seen a few Odyssea filters being used on MFK forums. That unit you have the link to is supposed to be pretty decent. I guess the only real issue is some parts are made a bit cheaper and need to be replaced more often from what I have seen.

The new Odyssea CFS 14i is pretty awesome, its like 39" tall!
