Anyone have any experience with the Canister filter they sell? I was looking at it and wondered if it was any good.

I am probably picking up some bulbs and other bits from them as well.

Im a believer in you get what you pay for. So if you want to risk a noisy, leaking canister filter try it out!

When setting up my aquascape tank the hood began to pop and smoke then it died - all within minutes of plugging it in. Please be careful.

the nano or which fixture were you using?
I am probably only going to pick up bulbs from them, I am a little leery of the rest of the stuff they sell. When you have to pay extra for a fan I start to wonder at the quality. My coralife 65x4 hood is going strong after a few years and a bunch of moves.

If everyone can please check out their fixtures, I'd appreciate it in case we need to replace any others.

I don't recall anyone having a problem with their fixtures last year. Are the new ones the same brand, from the same supplier?
