SunSun's beast of a canister filter, the 704-B, gets cleaned and set up for maximum performance. It's rated at 525 gallons per hour (without media) and includes a UV light option.

Check it out and let me know what you think, including comments and suggestions on the set up. I'm always learning.

For those of you alarmed by my blue balls, rest assured that they have since been replaced (it was the only media I had on hand when I filmed this video).
