Yes.
With the single exception that I'm aware of, of Prof. Ron Harlan's
Back-To-Nature filters, many of those sold to the aquatic trade appear to be
a bit of a rip-off, price-wise. I have always used the Costco/Home-Depot
kinds of systems as cost-effective and repairable. Most do have that
desirable holding tank and cutoff valve.
If you need a little hand-holding advice, Ron's quickly become the cheaper
and more effective units. [I think there's an equally highly-regarded
supplier in AZ, but I forget the name. Sorry.]

Politicians and diapers have one thing in common.
They should both be changed regularly
and for the same reason.
