Review on Penn Plax Cascade Aquarium Filtration by Rusty Calcara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for accommodating a site of 55 gallons or less!

I love this device! I was able to make minimal adjustments to allow this unit to hang on the side of my 55 gallon tank! It's small but big enough to keep the aquarium clean. Ideal for filter conversion! That's 3-4 times more than Quiet Flow 10! It's much, MUCH quieter than EX whispers! Enough space to fill any media into the storage/treatment tank. It features flow control, which is very handy for more sensitive fish. Using a hand sander I was able to remove 2 tabs, one on each side of the unit where the water intake hole is. It wasn't small enough to fit on the 55 gallon page, so I took a hand sander and cut off each tab shown in my photos, it now fits the space perfectly and works great in the area I needed to fit ! Happiness! PLEASE NOTE: If you enjoyed this review, please give it a "Thumbs Up/Like If It Was Helpful". . Interested in a product but don't know enough about it and want it reviewed? Please let me know and I'll see what I can do. Follow me to see many reviews of purchased products. Thank you 🙏
