Review on 🐟 Enhance Aquarium Filtration with MarineLand Penguin PRO Power Filter by Heather May

. I've been using it for about a month and in general I can say that it's better than the old one. First off, it looks a lot better, and the flip top is a plus. It's definitely stronger. The suction and circulation of the water is noticeably more efficient and I like that the flow can be regulated. The filter is now self-priming (hooray!), and the addition of a media basket is also a plus. The design change also makes it easier to access the impeller for cleaning, and now the air intake actually reaches the bottom of my tall tank. Is it quieter than advertised? Not really. In fact, it was much louder for the first few days. Now that it's been running for a while I'd say the engine is a little quieter, but it's a lot more "lively". He also claims that this new design keeps the biowheel turning. No, it still stops randomly, you just can't see when it stops because the lid is opaque black. You can tell when it stops when the splashing gets louder. However, it filters the tank much better than the old one, so overall I'm happy with it.
