Fzone Astra-Stream Setup - How Much Can the Fancy Boy Hold? 

It’s a feature, not a flaw!

You could use the canister as a chicken fryer.

Yea, I would have liked to try the dual inlet

Thanks! Like I said, I watched a bunch of videos on the previous version and could not remember where I had seen the suggestion.

This is my limited edition. The stainless steel Eheim 🤣

The only question might be if it has enough flow to do what you want to do on that mini 40 gallon breeders. Realistically to me the tops I want to put the song something like at 75 gallon but I guess it depends on like how you're setting everything up.

Bottom up, just like Eheim's classic design

I can't say how long it will last but I can guarantee it's stronger and better than the GLA version at half the price. Fzone actually used the same pump gla still has and they quickly switched due to complaints. I've woken up many times already in 1 yr to error code on pump. Best to go with the fzone stainless

Why on earth would you buy an expensive canister and put only foam in it?

About 500g or so. It has a lot of surface area

Depending on the media you were to use with depend on how much it weighs with water and all the media, you're probably looking at something around like 20 lbs. There is no handle on this so you do need to lift the canister and carry it by the bottom. If you use the quick connects correctly, you can minimize the amount of tubing that is near the canister itself and that will let you lock off the water, minimize any spills so that you basically just need a small towel or maybe put it inside of a bucket and you'll be fine. In the case of something where you're dealing with really high quality carpet, you might want to look at something slightly different if you're intending to hide the canister filter. If you want the canister filter on display because you like the aesthetic look of the canister itself, then you could look at something like one of the small rolling carts that are used to hold computers up off the carpet. This would lift the canister for you and make it a lot easier to move just because you have something to grab onto that can roll around and is designed to sit underneath things.

They're currently unavailable on Amazon, but that is where I got them. There look to be some knock off versions, just find similar measurements

It was on Amazon from Pond Boss, but currently out of stock.

I got mine on Amazon

But the company didn't tell me that somebody else did

It does need gravity to help siphon, so you want it below the tank

​@@BentleyPascoe I figured that I wanted to use it on a pond but pond is on the ground so it would have sit beside it I git fluval fx6 on the pond right now and it's working great but I wanted more filteration and saw this and thought it was neat but I figured it had to be below the tank cause eheim classics are the same way to extent but fluval fx6 is pumping good sitting right beside it but I also got the hose shorter but it's flowing very strong and doing a good job I just wanted more filteration , the pond has turtles in it and you know turtles are messy lol but if you have any other suggestions I greatly appreciate it the pond is 200 gallons I thought maybe another fx6 but kinda wanted a different filter I actually have heard great things about aquael ? I know they just brought out the aquael hypermaxx 4500 1180 gph of course with media in it it definitely is slower then that but I've heard good things about aquael 2000 as well I would have went with like a bead filter or sand filter or diy filter but this pond is near our room and I just wanted something that was quiet and fx6 is very quiet so far

Bottom. Water flows bottom to top in this canister, just like Eheims.

I watched a number of videos on this particular filter (and it's previous version) before deciding to test it.

most of biologtical is in your filter 90 percent from studys ive seen

@@jnightmare2386 That’s an interesting study you cite, I have heard the opposite though. Just anecdotal, but a simple sponge filter has the same biological capacity as a canister it seems, from perusing stocked tanks at the local pet store. And biological media can grow anywhere. The whole tank is a biological filter in that regard isn’t it?
