Hi Guys,
I need your suggestion to buy couple of filters
A. 1 canister filter for a 120 ltr planted tank (SunSun looks quite economical in comparison to Eheim and some of their model comes with UV light, is it of any use & are they reliable)
B. 1 HOB for a 80ltr non planted tank (This is for my sister so need to be simple to operate & maintain)
Please mention model no#, source (price if available)
Is there anyone using DIY canister filter what are the result.

You can go for SUNSUN HW -302 this circulates 1000 LPH, it is good one or SUNSUN HW 303B It circulates 1400 LPH. HOB can be of Hagen or any chinese model which can circulate 500LPH.

Re: Need suggestion to buy couple of filters
I have seen some come with priming button, seems to be a nice to have feature, how important is that when consider price difference.
What happens when power go out , do I need to do priming each time?

It has to be primed just once when you start. After that if the light goes it mostly starts itself. Though I would always prefer a filter without a priming button as it can get messy when filling water to prime it.

I bought dophin h500 HOB recently. It pumps 580 lph and consumes just 4W. Can recommend that.
