it's a penn-plax, new filter that came out several months ago... I've got a
canister filter, you wouldn't believe how quiet and nice it is... then I got
a HOT cascade 100 for a 10g, rated for 20 but has an adjustable flow....
waterfall effect, acts as an aerator, and cartridge, with a sponge, so it's
comparable to anything, and better than alot... check 'em out... the only
problem I've had so far, is finding replacement stuff, but for the canister
that isn't an issue...

I've become partial to the cascade line of filters... very nice, get
quiet
after a day or so....

I've never seen a Cascade. For quick & cheap, I like the AquaClears with
double sponges (ie: the AC150 for you, I'm not a fan of the Mini),
otherwise I'd go with a bio-wheel (Penguin 125?, I don't know what their
Mini is like), and live with purchasing new inserts occasionally. Both
provide either bacterial redundancy or separation.
