Ehiem I know is an expensive brand . And there's ways to modify a cfs 500 to reinforce it which would stop the leak problem . Like a lot of people say they have pressure cracks and leaks in other places . I've been researching the crap out of the cfs and there's actually parts on it that don't need to be .. I think it might be a cheap route to go with that one and just modify it myself and have fluval flow rate at a fourth of the price . Like the one thread I read on monster fish keepers a guy used a piece of plywood and regular wing nuts to reinforce the lid to avoid pressure cracks because of the use of poor plastic and some of the o-rings are too big and when you slide your hose on the hose connectors the o-rings slide and lose the effectiveness and cause leaks so by getting smaller ones they'll stay in place and form a leak proof seal .. I'm still gunna read alot on them but ive actually learned a lot about them ..
