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.

Quality supersedes the price. Fluval is awesome but cost u a mortgage payment. No real complaint at this time.



Cons

Water inlet pieces * up air if not fully submerged up to the hose. U-shaped spout going into the tank makes too much flow straight down and only mixes up sediment and bother plants. Poor oring seal could pinch and damage the oring if you attempt to fo...  Read More

This is a defective product and it is not worth the hassle for your money. Defintely doesn't seem as quiet as the claims. It's also too much money to throw away to a vendor that does not refund based.

    We were told that we needed a uv sterilizer for our tank to clear up the water

    Instead i bought this canister filter with the uv sterilizer already in it and hooked it up 48 hours ago


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wanted beneficial bacteria to acclimate in the canister


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The seller promptly messaged me and is sending me a new uv


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I really wanted to like this filter


    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I hate cleaning filters cause theyre so annoying to remove
