    I bought mine from NA in Balestier area.

    I would recommend at least the Atman CF-1000 for you 4x1.5x.1.5

    I am running a CF-1000 on my 3.5ft and a CF-600 on my 2ft. Pretty happy with both of them, but do note that they don't come with bio media, have to budget additionally for biohome or bio-rings.

    Bought my CF-1000 today.
    Learn something new... One shop that is $20 cheaper does not provide warranty, the other one will provide... had checked with the more expensive shop and he said it is because of parallel import being cheaper but no warranty.....

    Bought the one with warranty, got 2 pack of free biomaterial, plus change of tube from atman 5ft to ehiem 7ft at additional $4.

    The Prices at NA are also not bad, I bought mine there.

    Order should be as follows:
    Top Tray Bio-rings, biohome etc.
    Middle Tray Coarse Foam.
    Under the two trays fine Foam.

    These canisters draw in from the top to bottom, then back up the top through that
    hole in the trays.
