Lifeguard Q's

[katyttt]

Anyone know anything about the Lifeguard filter systems?
I have just aquired a 130 gallon tank setup (was willed to me) included was a set of three inline filters; AF94 Mechanical Filter, AF93 Chemical Filter, AF92 Heater Module, all are brown to orange in color, and appear to be older than whatever pics I can find on the net. All of this was on a wrought iron Stand with 2 little giant external pumps ( 1100 GPH and a 510 GPH).

Thanks for any info you may be able to provide.

i used a af94 (i believe) on my discus tank and loved it. i got the reuseable cartridges for it. they last years. i would not recommend the mechanical filter for a reef, but definitely freshwater. i have not used the uv or chemical modules, but i assume they are effective as the af94 was for me. if i set up another tank that requires a mechanical filter, i would use them again.
