Well worth the money!
Pros: The price can't be beat! This thing is BIG, it holds approx 5 gallons of water and media. It uses the same filters as the AquaTop filters so you can buy replacements anywhere if you don't want to make your own. It is relatively quite if you cap the surface intake. The cap is included. It also has a UV sterilizer.
Cons: It has a UV sterilizer, wait you say, I listed that as a Pro. Well, you CAN NOT leave the light on 24/7 it will deteriorate the plastic trays inside! Use the light for a few hours a day or all day once a week for maintenance.
I purchased it for a red eared slider who lives with tropical fish in an 80 gallon tank. I use two canister filters, this one and a Cascade 2500, I wish I had two of these instead.Read full review

SunSun 404b
I am using this on a 125 gal African Cichlid tank. Setup was very easy. Lots of space for media of your choice. I have coarse, medium and fine media pads in the lowest tray and lava rock for bio media in the next three trays. I then topped off the top tray with fine media to help polish the water with purigen on top of that. The filter is quiet and the outlet is a spray bar that helps create good water movement across the top of the water. I have just had this hooked up about 4 weeks. So far very satisfied, hopefully this performance will continue over at least a few years.Read full review

Great big canister filter for your money
It's been running for a 3 weeks . No hassle or issues. Easy installation. Great flow. Love everything about it. Just doesn't come with media. But can't complain it's a great buy period. Shipped in timely manner. In great condition.Read full review

Great for the price
The input (intake) bars are kind of cheap and don't seal out air very well so I just eliminated all except the bottom cover and it works great. No air entering the line. The unit is very quiet and well worth the price. About 1/3 the cost of comparable models.Read full review

Priming
The pump is difficult to prime. Prime it dry don't put any water in the canister and wait till the intake and out flow tubes are full of water before you plug it in.

Sunsun 404b
I recently bought the sunsun 404b to replace my 304b that began to leak amd I did not expent it to be as big as it is but it works amazing. For the price you get more than your moneys worth. Only thing I wish it came with was media for these huge trays.Read full review

Seems ok...no media provided
Pretty much exactly what I wanted. I am disappointed no media was included other than 4 white fine filter sponges. The unit is supposed to come with bio balls and ceramic media. I'm not sure why it was not in the box. That's the only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars. Read full review
