Good price & works well. Easy to set up. Great bang for the buck! Only problem is the lack of directions on the setup.
Water color is from tannin released from mopani drift wood and peat. Gallons of water is crystal clear, no odors, and not algae.

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I had to replace the hoses with fluval hoses and i had to use fluval hose fittings to keep it from leaking which was ok because i had them on hand but the instructions for the uv light were lacking and even though i followed them the uv light has never worked which is annoying

The filter itself still makes humming noise and occasionally you can hear water running thru it
