well in my travels i found the Rapids Pro filter system that includes an aqua lifter pump to start and stop the syphon automatically in the event of power lose, has a built in protein skimmer, mechanical and biological filtration and moves 700 gph...................this is the PS3, the PS4 includes a 4 gallon auto top off system.............i was thinking about turning one of my 10 gallon tanks into a sump but don't hae any holes drilled in the 20Long display..........and not interested in tearing the 20 down to drill it.....................sssoooooooooo..... i finally found a PS3 rapids filter on ebay and just won it !!!!! .....so we shall see if my excitment is warented or i bought into some sort of mumbo jumbo hype about a fancy cantraption

this is the filter i just bought {without the auto top off} which can be added at anytime for about 90 bucks

Boss

your going to love it...when do you expect it ?

nice..you will never go back to h.o.b again. lets see updated pics when installed...

That thing looks sweet just read the site description. I think i might by one of those instead of building a 30 gallon sump. Boss you'll have to update on the performance of the unit when you get it. Technologic advancment is a awsome thing

I read up on the product again and found one i'm bidding on. So you have me sold I'm getting one. Then I can get rid of my hob powerfilter and have something more efficient

yeah it should take away the hassle of building a new stand for my tank, and installing a 30 gallon sump like i was going to do. The info from Dr. Foster site was pretty good it got my attention.
