The tube that Fluval should have turned on.

I have 3 Fluval 305 and 1 Fluval 206. All of these filters came with a vacuum hose which really sucks. Took advice on a forum to buy home depot tubing but found the 5/8 ID-3/4 OD tubing was very kinked and the 5/8 ID-7/8OD tubing was too stiff. I bought a set of these hoses and I really like them, no more kinks and the hoses are really flexible. I will be replacing all my Fluval tubes with these. This tube also works great with Glass Lily tubes.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Instructions could be clearer but youtube videos will help

Instructions require more details or examples. Initially we had some problems trying to replace them. Finally resorted to a YouTube video that was very good step by step and cleared up some confusion. After replacing the seals, the small leak we had is gone and everything works as it should. Based on the instructions I almost gave 3* for the ease of installation, but once you get the hang of it (watch the video) it shouldn't be difficult.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Rip off - inaccurate description and missing parts

The description clearly states that it includes hoses that attach to the inlet. These items are also included in the photo for this item. The first set I received didn't have them and I thought maybe it was an accident or they fell out so I contacted Amazon and they sent a replacement. The second set arrived today and does not include these items either. Based on other reviews of other products sold by these people, this is a common problem. Dissatisfied. Pretty expensive set for not includingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Just what I needed

This is a replacement tube for my Rena XPL filter. I upgraded my 80 gallon tank to a 210 and the original pipes I cut weren't long enough to reach the top of the 210 so I used a pan under the cabinet to get it working . My wife wanted the pot back so I was lucky to find this pipe. I'm happy and so is my wife :) I tried to find a replacement hose but decided to pay a little more for the API brand and not bother with water compatibility, ID/OD, wall thickness, kinks and possible leaks. Would doโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Very expensive

Fits exactly like the original. Make sure it's your problem!

These API Filstar pumps are notorious for priming air after only a few months of use. Although I thought mine was bad there was still an air leak after replacing all the top end fittings I found the leak is coming from two parts you open to remove the real motor to close the impeller to clean. Impeller area cleaned as I had it. I took the silicone and went around the printer in 2 falls and carefully watched where the power cord went. Allow the silicone to dry for 24 hours and reinsert the pump.

Pros
  • Datura ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Unsure

Bait and Switch Match Filter

The propeller I received was definitely not the same as the picture. Firstly what I received was blue and not green like the picture. And it was in a very shabby little plastic bag, not a hard plastic sleeve as shown in the picture. After all, this wasn't new; It was definitely a return. Someone rejected it and accidentally clogged the plastic bag with some staples. The only reason I'm not returning it is because my fish has been going without a filter for days. They may die while I go and buyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Disappear

I've been an API fan for years, my first XP3 filters are about 10 years old and they work great with this day. I recently had an issue with some of the new ones, they ripped where the hose connectors turned. I contacted the API and was told I would need to send in the filter before I could receive a replacement. I've still used the filter, it hasn't leaked, but who knows how many more times I could remove the cap to clean the filter before it breaks. I asked if they could send a replacement soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Only available in white

Original spare parts. Excellent quality.

I purchased this product after taking my old Rena xP2 out of the garage to start a new aquarium. The quality of this hose is excellent. Thick and manageable. No kinks. The kit includes two 6.5 ft (2 m) tubes. This kit is compatible with Rena XP1, XP2, XP3 and XP4 filter models. Installation in the inlet/outlet fittings and filter tubes required little labor, it requires twisting and pushing, it must fit snugly to prevent water leakage. Be sure to use the safety/pipe rings on the pipe toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Weight
