Craigslist find

[P4Angels]

On one of our many grand fish adventures Lori and I went over to pick up a Fluval 305 External  canister filter for our 100 gallon tank.  Asking price was $60.00 not a bad find.  While we where there he asked me if I ever use the Penn Plax Cascades filter.  I have one but the can portion of it is cracked and not fixable.   So he walks into his garage and hands me a Penn Plax Cascade Canister Filters 1500 filter.  He say here take it I don't have the time to work on it. 

So we get home and I did a little searching on the internet and find that Pet solutions has all the parts (new hoses, motor gasket and a Strainer). So I ordered them 24.47 for the parts 9.99 shipping total cost 34.46. 

Parts came in today, 20 min to install and add medial. 30 min test run in a 5 gallon buckets.  No leaks (Oh boy OH Boy!!!) .  Another 10 min move,set up, and prime!!! It's up and running like a brand new filter, cycling my 100 tank at 2.5 times an hour..    I am also running 2 medium sprung filters in there for add bio filtration. 

So that's two 200+gallon canister filter for under 100.00 now that a GREAT FIND   .
