While Jake and Ryan continue to bombard you with cutting edge, way-outta-your-budget equipment, I’m bringing real products for the everyday hobbyist who is looking for things that are simple and easy to use. The AquaGenie hang-on back powerfilter is the hottest things coming off the Australian continent since the super-hot OMG scoly! This nifty HOB powerfilter could be the next big thing in the nano market and the good news (I think?) is it just hit American shores this week. The unique and patent pending flush system makes filter cleaning a cinch and is on my holiday wish list right after a new Snuggie. No more army of buckets, bottle brushes, siphon hoses or pressure washers needed. With AquaGenie’s four stages of filtration — biological, chemical, mechanical, plus also FLUSHABLE, it’s touts itself as the only filter on the market able to instantly flush out the captured debris and on top of that only using 1/2 gallon of water. No more having to change that nasty tank water, just keep it in there while keeping your filter clean. It’s as simple as priming the 5-foot flexible flushing hose with hand-priming pump, flush into your waste bucket, refill and go! Rated for tanks up to 50 gallons, the AquaGenie eliminates the need for costly and cumbersome filter pads, cartridges and sponges by trapping the debris in its flushable sintered glass bio-filter beads. This product retails for $59.99.
