Review on DaToo Aquarium Power Filter: Ultra Silent 🐠 3W Fish Tank Filter with 1 Year Warranty by Elizabeth Carlo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

EXTREMELY QUIET because it hardly works.

Well like others have said this filter is QUIET. I speak inaudibly. However, the reason for this is that it hardly works. The filter uses a carbon cartridge, and you can also put a small amount of your own filter material in it if you don't want to buy replacement cartridges. But in any case, the water is not filtered very well, since the suction power is very weak and the power is just a drop. This keeps the water surface completely calm and after about a few days a film forms on the top of the tank, as can be seen in the video clip. This creates a lot of dead zones in the aquarium, which is not good. I took a chance and believed the positive reviews and immediately bought three of these, each for a 5 gallon betta tank, but unfortunately the filtration is too weak even for them. Another point, as others have mentioned, is that if you fully submerge the filter so that the outlet is below the surface, a curious Betta fish is likely to swim in. This happened in two of the three tanks I put it in, but it's easy to fix by either raising the outlet slightly above the surface, or using a small piece of mesh or sponge to block the inlet (which lowers the water level lowers). output power even more). In any case, the power is so low that I don't see the betta or any fish harmed by curious swimming inside. So for now I'm using an external pump and air stones to keep the water moving until I find a new filter for each tank. This is tricky because many small filters are too coarse for the delicate rooster fish and now I've found a filter that is too soft. Spring. The search continues.
