that filter ^^^

they are OK for smaller tanks like 10 gallons, i actually had two in my twenty until i upgraded to 50g.

its OK, not the best, it certainly still gets the gunk in the water, but its not GREAT.

i think when it comes right down to it between the fluval and renas, it comes down to personal preference. there are a lot of good things said about both systems.
