11077 Fluval Pro Vac Review

Does nothing. This is bad. I made one myself with the lights and power supply (which worked really well) and foolishly got rid of it, thinking it was less bulky and that it was a 'good' brand.

This "professional" version of AC is a quick upgrade. In the attached photo, the filters after the first cleaning. . . Garbage disposal 10 times more! Best Features: 1. Has an LED light that…
