Review on ๐Ÿ  SunSun Tech'n'Toy HW-602B: Powerful 106 GPH 3-Stage External Canister Filter for Enhanced Filtration by Amy Perry

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Best canister price for a 10-20 gallon tank?

Likes: price, noise level, ease of use. The canister locks click fairly securely compared to their looks, and the adjustable flow control makes it easy to turn off the power so your fish don't get tired from too much current (betta owners!). The overall volume of this canister appears to be more than double the capacity of the $60 OASE canister filter I previously purchased and immediately returned after seeing how small it is. I also have a $50 Marineland canister that probably has 50-70% more capacity than this little SunSun, has panniers and a handy easy-off system (power is too much for a 10 gallon as there is no controller Has). block does, so it blows the fish away). Still not too big, mine sits in a 3 gallon bucket. The canister's white color is clean (the green plastic tube isn't terrible either) Dislikes: No basket system so I removed the middle sponge and replaced it with a couple handfuls of bio-medium for extra bacterial surface area. The sponges can also be cut or replaced to allow the use of charcoal/purine bags etc. The pump isn't very powerful but easily pumps over 3 feet and still has a decent flow from the atomizer.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Security
