Cool. Those Supreme Aquamaster hob filters were the Eheims of the day.

I saw one still running in a pet store in NY guy called it a work horse which blew away any HOB filter he has seen in last 10 yrs .

Granted not for salt

dude, you always have the most interesting threads. i really do look forward to seeing them! i noticed a royal gramma in the last pick with the queen angel. it is all the way to the left, you can faintly see the yellow and purple.

Eheims were around at the same time as Supreme HOB filters!

I still have two of those Supreme 650's. I have a few spare parts also. Impellars, siphon tubes ,siphon starters,etc
