yeah better bite the bullet one time and go get the good one it is a filter it run 24/7 non stop except for washing laaa... so do not compromise on it... cheaper filter is noisy / prone to leak which will destroy your cabinet or sofa if you kile me work 8 hours.... imagene leak during working hour... come back house flooded tank become dry....(well not that dry haha you get what I mean) and the parts super hard to get and replace... now EHEIM doing promo Just buy one... very worth it

Next time she will ask you go fish shop instead fashion house  Done that.... cause last time I own a 3ft planted tank but move house so quit hobby now re-starting hahaha
