Hi,

I've got both a 34l, AC380 aqua one tank and also a windsor 55 corner cabinet model (180l) aqua one set up. I've had them since the beginning of the year and they both seem ok. i did have problems finding the carbon cartiridges for the 380 earlier on but found them on the net at the aquarium shop.com. I have a CF1000 aqua onefilter in the larger tank which seems to be running fine. i've not managed to give it a proper good clean yet but will shortly. My local shop said it was harder getting parts for the aqua one filters yet i went to another larger shop and they had plenty in!!! The Age of Aquarium website gives various reviews on the CF1000 filter but seems ok for me.

I have am aquaone 850 and I love it: quiet, lovely seamless rounded front corners, great cabinet. You can tip up the lights section at the front to get more access to the tank than just through the opening hatch - which is pretty good anyway. Filter uplift brings good level of flow up through the concealed powerhead in the overhead filter trough. Spray bar delivers the water over the 2 filter 'boxes' which can be lifted out for maintenance. Comes with fine polyester wool filter pad, ceramic noodles, coarse filter foam and charcoal in bags. As there are 2 sections to the filter can clean one half at a time. Only fiddle is finding a rod to stuff a sliver of jcloth through the spray bar to clean it out. Tank is planted and both fish and plants are thriving. I like the height of tank - Angels drifting through Valisinaria.
Came with no instructions to speak of - had to figure out all the tubes and stuff for the filter.
Can't work out whether to change the lighting - is it adequate?

just wish I'd got the nxt size up, is all....

Mind you, I was planning to get a 620T when I went out shopping but my plastic leaded me astray and I came home with an 850. Still, maybe I 'need' a 620T as well.... after all, I only have 5 tanks in a 2 bed flat so far!
