Description of Aquael AAU115070 Versamax Mini

EFFICIENT AND ECONOMIC - Thanks to its high throughput capacity, the VERSAMAX guarantees intensive filtration while requiring very little space. WATER AERATION - The filter’s is designed for optimal cleaning and water aeration. The pump works by drawing water from the lower part of the water tank, which then flows through the filter cartridges, and finally it is released back into the aquarium. EASY INSTALL - Simply hang the filter unit on an aquarium wall so that the suction tube is inside the tank and the body of the pump rests on the outside. The filtration baskets are flexible to configure and designed to facilitate cartridge replacement. VERSAMAX filters also come equipped with removable containers, which makes them easy to clean. DUAL FILTER MEDIA - The standard set of cartridges for the VERSAMAX includes a phenol-free sponge cartridge, which helps remove organic impurities from the water. Thus, effective mechanical filtration is supplemented with excellent biological filtration. ADJUSTABLE OUTFLOW - This filter is designed for continuous performance adjustment. The pumping capacity can be adjusted within a wide range by using the dial located on the top of the flow-through unit.

Type of review

Bought for a 20 liter aquarium. Handles with a bang! We use only half strength, otherwise a strong current is created (the aquarium is only 20 liters). It is convenient to change the filter and remove the anchor for cleaning. Oxygen saturates well, water is also well filtered. From not expensive cascade filters - I advise this one for purchase. Currently used for more than 3 months non-stop. But not completely without, the stops were only for cleaning the anchors and filters.

Pros
  • Small. Not noisy. The anchor is easy to get. The filter is easy to change. Saves space in the aquarium and there is no strong current. Warranty 2 years.
Cons
  • The native sintepon filter for fine cleaning is glued, which is not very convenient. Since a lot of space is empty, and this filter cleans so-so. You have to tear it off and implement your ideas.

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

With its pros: Best of its kind exterior for small aquariums. Trouble-free operation with the ability to change fillers from standard filter cassettes to Aquael biological fillers. In general, whoever likes it. I use aquael bioceramic in a mesh bag. The filter disassembles perfectly for cleaning. You can even clean the rotor with the impeller. With its cons: Among the shortcomings, I would note (not critical) the need for a rubber, silicone or precise foam rubber substrate between its body and

20 liters is great. Pros: Very quiet, easy to install, no unplugging to clean the cartridge. There is a performance controller. When the cartridge becomes clogged, I simply increase the flow rate. Cons below: If the water evaporates strongly, then you can hear how the water is pouring.

Lame product and terrible quality.

30 liters is too small for an aquarium. It clogs up quickly and starts to buzz even harder. I chose for a very long time and believed the good reviews. It turned out in vain. Very noisy due to the fact that all the vibration is transmitted to the glass. The noise is not very pleasant, especially at night. Buzzing! I do not advise!

Pros
  • Compact
Cons
  • Very noisy, strong vibration on the glass.

Think twice before buying this product.

Used in a 15 liter shrimp tank. After 3 months of operation, performance gradually decreased. For about the last month, the thin trickle has turned into droplets. I cleaned the filter, turned it on without sponges and filter elements. It's all about the mechanism itself.

Pros
  • Virtually silent
Cons
  • broke quickly

The principle of operation of this filter is fundamentally different from all other Versamax. His water is sucked into the first compartment (there is nothing filtering in it) and then pours through the top into the second compartment (where the cassette is) and also pours through the top into the aquarium. Essentially, no filtering occurs. In the more expensive Versamax, water flows from the bottom up through the filter material and real filtration occurs. And this water passes through the top

Pros
  • Instead of a compressor will go.
Cons
  • Filtration is practically non-existent. Usually AQUAEL has very high quality products, but this is not the case.

Satisfactory product quality, good price.

Pros: Was purchased for a cube of 30 liters with shrimp. He copes with his task. A little noisy, or rather, there is a rumble from the operation of the rotor. Different cons: The rumble from the operation of the rotor, which was not expected from the description.

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

Overall, one of the best external filters for small aquariums for the money. If you are making a shrimp, we insert any sponge into the lower intake and work quietly. Otherwise, their curiosity may end badly by meeting with the rotor inside the filter. The quality of the plastic is good, the noise is moderate, the flow is controlled. Its pros: The filter is in Aquel cub 30 liters, it interferes well. Doesn't make noise. Some cons: There is a nuance in the top cover, which is not attached to the…

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

Has some pros: Suitable for small cube 10L. Does not take up space inside the aquarium. Quiet, only the sound of running water. Cons: Sometimes after turning on the pump does not start. It helps me to gently shake the filter, but since I rarely turn it off during maintenance, it is not critical.

The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

As long as he gets the job done. Different pros: Works quietly, the water flow is strong enough. At the beginning of work it is necessary to fill the filter with water. At first, it will push air out of the tubes with noise, then it will continue to work silently. Some cons: It is inconvenient to remove the filter for washing. To put it in place, you need to get into the narrow grooves and push it to the end with great effort. Slightly warped - stuck. I haven't had this problem with other…

Perfect product for any user!

Different pros: An excellent filter for a 20 liter shrimp, but it is advisable to buy a sponge for the suction tube Different cons: My copy does not. But on the Internet there is information about the shortcomings and how to eliminate them. Expensive replacement cartridges, but I make my own analogue.
