    Lots of buzz this week on the new Fluval G series canister filters that are hitting the trade show circuit. These new filters are the result of over 3 million dollars in research. What does that get you? The ability to clean filter chambers without turning off the filter and a monitor that displays temperature, flow rate, conductivity in real and historical formats to name a few. More to follow as 3reef will be getting up close and personal with the Fluval G Series soon..

    Well now. ... doesn't that just change everything. .. ?

    I've kinda strayed from canisters b/c of the tedium involved in changing media, floss, etc. We all know that a tedious task is one that becomes eventually neglected. What this hobby really needs is a central place to easily access media for maintenance and changing. Come to think of it, the ability to graph trends over time is immensely valuable. Fluval might be on to something here!!

    Great post, Matt! :)
