If you had not wanted to be confronted on this you should have not said
anything. The fact is, you are wrong. There is nothing wrong w/ the Fluval
Canister filter. I have seen most work for 10+ years with no problems. The
eheim professional series is the only class of eheims i rate higher than the
Fluvals when it comes to quality and ease of maintenance. The fluvals are
very easy to prime, it just takes a little practice. There is no reason to
have to resort to sucking fish poop. If anyone needs any help priming their
fluval's, email me. I will be happy to help.
Is anyone else sick of Mr. Purchase's attitude?
