i got it from another member on this forum for 180 dollars. its in great condition. just had a little trouble starting it the first time, but it works like a charm now.

why didnt you have luck with a canister filter? what was it missing?

It was contributing too much nitrates to the tank and causing massive algae outbreaks.
I battle Hair Algae for a long time, getting rid of the canister filter helped alot, and finally buying 2 mexican turbo snails beat the problem.
