The 511 is nice. I didnt see that one at the store. But for that money you could get a better canister.
I got my 501 for 34 bucks.

O wow thats a good deal, they are 50 at the petco by me...

I think I just like the idea of a canister filter in general, so I'm going to keep my eye open for a good one.

god dang it.... should have bought one of these instead of the one I just bought for my moon crab

might have to buy one for 'em if I can find a use for the other filter I just bought.

Yeah for 34 bucks i bought it quick. I hurried because i thought they were going to change their mind on me.

This is the next monster i have in mind. They love the current so im not afraid to pump more water through the tank. And the spray bar is really easy to make.

Anyone in socal want to buy a 501?

[dsmalex97]

lol, Fluval makes nice stuff. I have a 125 gallon tank that was used to house a red ear slider, and I used a fluval fx5. GREAT filter! This was the only filter that could keep up with the turtle. I'd say fluval makes some of the best stuff on the market. But, I was honestly thinking of making my own filter. I'm trying to find a good build that would work well for a small application. Anyone know of any good DIY filter projects?

I am getting all caught up in the canister filter wave here. Today, I found this one at Petsmart on clearance for $35.
