I just picked up a Sea Storm Fludized Bed filter for $5 at the LFS, but haven't heard too much about them. I have the appropriate powerheads to go with them, but i'm iffy about using it because it looks used.

Either way, if It was flushed out for a day or two, would it be okay for an 80 gallon planted community?

I already have a Fluval 204, 404 and i'm in the process of building a trickle. I guess i'm using my 80 gallon as a guinea pig filtration tank (testing many different types) and i'm also a firm believer of filtration overkill.. Heh... Any suggestions or past experiences?
