I'm unimpressed. Spend the few extra dollars and get a aquaclear. Stopped working after 6 days of use.
Highlights
Quality
Nice quiet filter i would change the media you get with the product to some ceramic rings and a good sponge
Even with the small space i still find it filters a small tank really well
Very hard to clean the pipe even with the access point
A little noisy with the lid on but it’s bearable for me
Price
The price is exceptional it works extremely well
Price is great but it does a great job
Packaging/appearance
I rinse and reuse the filter with nonchlorinated water and only replace it every two or three months if needed
Competitiveness
It has great flow great suction adjustable comes with a prefilter bonus
Its quiet and even has a prefilter
I didnt like the small foam pad and charcoal insert so i replaced it with some fluval foam i had from my 75 gallon tank
I bought a fluval chi 5 gallon tank
