Review on Polar Aurora 3-Stage External Aquarium Filter: 265gph 🐠 Canister with Built-in Pump Kit – Efficient Water Filtration System by Jennifer Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great unit, great support

The next day everything worked (sometimes you just have to leave). Instructions are poor, but at least there are pictures. Error at the premiere. Everything is within the bounds of common sense so it took a while. The first canister, otherwise I would have started it in 15 minutes. I have a 40 gallon factory aquarium with two inches of sand. I had to remove everything but the thin layer near the filter because it's about half an inch above the bottom of the glass, if that. I have tried the sponge profiler on all my small shrimp and fish but although the motor on the new aquarium no longer works. The support was there immediately and I had to remove the pre-filter and everything worked again. Don't mess with Mother Nature. Noise level, only hum, like a HOB filter. If you have a closet, you might not even hear it. From the noise even better than the hob filter. You like all the materials you can use. The atomizer sits in the water, turns it face up and gets lots of water movement. I plan on changing it at every water change until I find a sweet spot. I liked the canister and the price is great. This allows others to try it out, get hooked, and optionally upgrade later. Love it! And you have real support for all those user bugs we've been known for from time to time. Buy +! Update: There was a bit of noise so we put it in a large Tupperware basket and put the lid on top. Calm! I do not hear anything. You can always cover with a blanket for extra insulation. Now everything is great. After adding the carrier, it slowed down to a trickle, removed a few sponges and still not the same. Nothing else was added. Will try again next time I change the water. Grrr I know what I did.

Pros
  • Convenient self-priming pump eliminates the need for manual priming; Single valve isolation and booster pump simplify routine maintenance.
Cons
  • Functionality
