Review on 🐒 Efficient Turtle Clean External Canister Filter for 75-Gallon Tanks by Zoo Med by Amy Washington

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Descent of cheap filters. Not strong enough. No valves for easy maintenance. Poor quality pipes.

Filter is ok. The reason I'm rating it 2 stars is because the 75 gallon tank capacity is wrong. Like other Turtle Clean models, I would say this filter should be half the price. It's worked 3 years in a row with no issues, but it's just not strong enough to keep up with the times. I had to use another 75 gallon filter alongside it to keep my tank clean. I like the low price, but that means you don't get the pretty nice features that more expensive filters have. This down filter does not contain valves that allow you to stop the flow of water in the tubes and disconnect them from the filter without major leaks. The tubes that come with it aren't very good either. They pinch easily and need to be the perfect length (hand cut)

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
