🐠 AQQA Aquarium Electric Power Sponge Filter - 3W/5W Submersible Foam Filter for Saltwater and Freshwater Fish Tank Review

I bought this 5g nano aquarium filter on January 11, 2021. It is now June 14th and the filter flow is significantly lower than when it started and it is very noisy. So 5 months and it has already started to wear out. I do weekly water changes and filter cleanings, so I'm pretty sure the problem is with a product that just isn't built to last. It worked very well for the first few months. Edit (6/16/21): I contacted the seller regarding the above issues and they agreed to send me a new unit at…

I like the product very much. Exactly what I was looking for. At first I was startled by the noise because I hooked it up to a monster air pump, but then I remembered I had a built in airflow adjustment knob. So I gave up a bit and BAM! Completely silent and flows beautifully! The suction cups seem to be of great quality. Both have tabs that you can easily remove if needed, but they seem to be holding up great. The sponges themselves rotate easily if you wish. I like that the drain hose can be…

I bought this filter as an experiment to see if it was better than some others on the market. I'm tired of removing the junk from the filter I'm using now and constantly buying filter cartridges and ammonia filter pads. I have found this product to be easy to assemble, has simple components that do not require changing often, runs quieter than previous filters I have purchased and works great in my starter tank. I bought a large (or medium I think) for my 40 gallon tank and a small for my 10…

I bought two 3W filters. Both perform well in terms of filtration and water flow (29 gallon tank, light stocking) - in fact I would have liked a little less flow for an aquarium. But one of them is silent, the other has a noticeable rumble. The hum can be heard throughout the room (similar to the hum of an air pump) even when fully submerged in water. I feel significant vibrations from a noisy pump. A loud hum is also present when you hold it underwater without touching the glass or substrate…

I bought two of these for separate aquariums and one of the tanks keeps young carp until they are ready for the pond. I noticed that there is a problem with the design as there is a thin disk shaped piece of plastic at the top where the water is thrown out. I don't understand its purpose, but koi can injure themselves if they get wedged between the glass wall and this pane, as koi like to do. The second problem is that it works fine for the first day or two, but then loses most of its…

Using a water pump in this filter design was an interesting alternative to simply modifying a similarly constructed filter as many others have done. The first misleading statement is order deletion. Only coal can do that. While adding a media chamber like they did on this design might help a bit, the filter simply isn't designed to filter the stated tank sizes. I have a 36 gallon front nose that is heavily planted with limited supply at the moment and couldn't even last two weeks with proper…

This seems to be exactly what I was looking for. My intention was to replace the power filter with this and the foam filter which requires an air pump. The ratings were the highest of any product I've seen at Revain. There are no 1 or 2 star ratings at all. I have a standard 10 liter tank. I ordered a small filter because the picture says the overall height is 6-9 inches which is perfect for a well maintained 10 gallon aquarium. As you can see from my photos, the smallest overall height after…
