Pros

Not a deal breaker for me.

This is a lot of filtration for the size of the tank. Installed on a 45 gallon planted tank with 25 tropical fish and 4 snails. The only thing i didn't like was the water intake is short and snails could get stuck on it, i fix it with a larger foam co... Read More

Extremely easy to setup and works fantastic. My only problem is with the instruction booklet. Took 30m to set everything up. There are a bit of comments complaining about the instructions and/or the difficulty of setting it up (particularly priming).

Price

Great filter hands down for the price

I make my own to save money but they always slow down

I hate spending the money but these filters really are great

These are the way to go for the price you get in the box very good hardware and mediathat cheaper filters simply do not deliver in the box

Packaging/appearance

The packaging was clean my original one came with a bunch of the media crushed up so the box was dusty another issue i had igno... Read More

Once i installed the intakeexhaust tubes with the connectors it was ready to go prepacked primed and plugged in

Competitiveness

Before i went back to eheim i bought 3 canister filters from what is currently a very popular brand that competes against eheim

I have another bigger canister different manufacturer so i had a good idea how to proceed
