    Default aqua nova canister filters

    Anyone used one of these? What are your thoughts on them- regarding noise, ease of cleaning, priming, leaks? Other pros/cons of them would be great as well.

    Also, how do they compare to the Rena xp's?

    Hirevs,
    Please note these filters are docking on the 28th and will likely be available for pick up on the 29th. I see you already have the 1208 AN kit so you are familiar with the quality already. The filters are no different, after 6 months we have had 0 problems and many members on here have them, hopefully you will hear from them shortly. In regards to the thread suggesting private sale, these are still actually cheaper.......

    I have an Aqua Nove 1500 on my 110 gallon, been running for 8 months or so.. So far I love it. Extremely quiet - can't hear it even when I press my ear up against the cabinet door. It has proven to be easy to clean and prime. Can't compare it to the Rena, as I've never used them.

    I have an Eheim 2217 on my 65 gallon, and the AN is actually quieter...
