£299.99 and £349.99. one for each tank please, i really cant see many people buying one of these at these prices.

 

[Doodles]

me neither, I reckon they should send one of us one to try out free

 

[FF MkII]

I would want it to make me breakfast, lunch and dinner for that money

Now that is one sexy filter.

 

[Breamlegend]

ouch. for that price I'd want a built in heater/ uv and ph adjuster.

i think a lot of the comments said it all, overpriced shiny gimmik, flow drop-off meter? i can see when the flow has dropped, w/c monitor? i do it weekly. its very stylish yes, but for the most its going to spend its life in a cupboard and even if left on show will soon be covered in crud, unless your sad enough to polish your filter casing. as mentioned above, for the money i'd expect a UV and heater at least. Best news is that with a new arrival all older models will slowly drop in price so FX5's should be affordable in a couple of years, though to be fair i'd still like to move over to Eheims. Sorry Hagen "Fail"

interesting, perhaps they will reduce the price when they get so few sales? hehe

 

[FF MkII]

They have also just launched a new range of tanks too.

As with the new filter i think they are a bit to pricey. Im all for new things but surely these products are not aimed at the majority or fish keepers, at least the prices dont exhibit that !
