  Description
Giving you the best of two popular aquarium filters: The Canister Filter and the Wet/Dry

The Pro Series supplies optimum and efficient filtration for saltwater aquariums, engineered to deliver unsurpassed 3-stage filtration (mechanical, chemical and biological). This filter provides superb water movement, consistently processing waste and impurities so the aquarium’s water quality remains ideal, thus keeping the aquarium water crystal clear and your tank inhabitants healthy. Rapids Pro-Series distinctive design makes this state-of-the-art filter extremely efficient. Delivering complete biological filtration plus greatly increasing gas exchange as water trickles over exposed Bio-Balls and highly porous Sintered Glass Cylinders, resulting in the rapid oxidation of ammonia and nitrite. Plus the Pro Series Filters come with a built-in protein skimmer, superbly removing dissolved organic material. Comes complete, nothing else to buy.

Great
Great product 4 THE PRICE by PurpleUp
Experience Level: Intermediate
Posted on 11/28/2007 from EL DORADO HILLS, CA UNITED STA
Comments: Protein skimmer and instructions leave a bit to be desired. This is a fairly simple yet complex unit with many components. Users deserve a step-by-step method for its installation and daily use, which this product DOES NOT INCLUDE. Expect minor flooding during setup. But because I am writing this review AFTER successful setup and use, I am still rating it 4 of 5 starts. It solves many of the problems beginner to intermediate reefers now have, where they cannot easily drill holes or add a flood proof sump to their system. If the 3rd media compartment is emptied, you can place a heater hidden from the display tank. A digital thermometer probe can be inserted in the sump as well. The integrated Auto-Refill System is a must have b/c no sensors are required for use -[What the instructions do not explain is how to adjust water level in the sump by placing the refill unit at a slightly higher position above the base of the sump.] Return pump is 2000gph and 1000gph at 5ft! If the protein skimmer performed for consistently, it would have received an excellent rating. Changing air-stone and air-pump do not seem to improve performance of skimmer, and it would be extremely difficult to add a new protein skimmer to the sump. Overall though, benefits clearly outweigh the flaws. Later developments to this product will hopefully fix these issues.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
