How Long Has Your Equipment Lasted?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Penguin 350 5 years no problems. Rena xp3 5 years no problems. Marineland stealth pro 300w 5 years no problems.
Aqua-tech 30-60 7 years no problems. Aqua-tech air pumps, I have them ranging from 18 years old when I was four to 2 years old never had one break or stop working.
 
I have a Fluval 3 internal filter. I've had it for around 20 years. I got it when I was a kid for my 'massive' 3ft tank. Still works perfect.
 
I have a Visitherm 200W in my living room tank. It's been on since 2001 without a hitch. Before that, I used it in my apartment for about 4 years without issue.

I've had Aquclear filters running since the 80s and have NEVER had one fail.
 
Here is some old old equipment I have that still works:

Living World Dynaflow 150 Power Filter (with Diatom cleaning attachment)
Penn-Plax Cannistar Pressurized Power Filter
Marineland Magnum HOT 220 Cannister Filter
Whisper 1 Power Filter

I have piston air pump around somewhere. A little oil and those things will run forever.
 
mine has been the aquaclear 500 almost 10 yrs....very neglected as well...never cleaned..only used the sponge with a rock on to of it, also never done gravel flush and water is still to this day clear and everything in it has been healthy.
