It's better to have some redundancy in your filtration system, by having
more than one filter running, so anything else you could connect will become
your insurance policy.
Aquarium filters are generally a good investment. While expensive, they can
last a long time and they do perform a vital function. I only buy filters
on sale, either at auctions or during sales events at stores. I currently
have a Pro 60 and an Emperor 400 still in a box from two different store
liquidations. I'm sure I'll have a tank ready for them in a few years ;~).
