Exactly what I needed, it's a great buy, I recommend it.

Thanks to the whole service team. I take and deliver from SDEK, everything is excellent as always. One of the best and most reliable online stores. Pleased with the bonus FREE shipping, thank you for saving my money. Prosperity and health to you! With all respect, Andrew.

Pros
  • I quickly assembled everything, there is a flow regulator, the glass is large enough and the sponge is good, biofiltration will be on the level. Suction cups grab tightly, the first impression is excellent. The cable is long. The engine runs quietly. Holder-mounted aeration, the inlet does not whistle or squish, smartly done. There is no beat in the rotor, it works quietly. 162022. 2022 I am supplementing the review, the filter is very high quality and quiet, it is easy to remove from the stand and clean, it does not injure the fish, the flow of water and air can be adjusted, which is very important for fish who do not like the current. I am very satisfied with the purchase, I recommend it to everyone, just super!
Cons
  • A flute for sprinkling, only optional, it is not included, it's a pity of course, cheaper models almost always have it. There is no compartment for fillers, but I knew what I was taking. 12/16/2022 I want to add to the review, after using the filter in constant mode, the flute is essentially not needed, since the aeration is very quiet, it can be purchased as an option if you like to look at the streams of water.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

I changed the sponge to a finely porous one. I bought the cheapest, not native. Works great. Very quiet and powerful. No complaints. I wash my sponge about once every two months. The filter copes with a 120l aqua with a decent population and an abundance of plants with a bang.

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

With its pros: The previous one worked 9 years non-stop. Quality device. Hardened and fell off the wire from old age. Let's see how the new one works. Prost in service. Cleaning 10 minutes every 2 weeks. Cons below: The suction cups hardened very quickly. Hung on a plastic mount

Well, what can you write about him? In general, I just bought it and immediately felt the difference) there is finally silence in the apartment😀 (I’m still not used to it and I’ll see if it works). I am pleased with the power adjustment, because it was not in my previous filter. It fastens very well (i. E. Mounting separately, filter separately) the suction cups stuck tightly, I had to pick it out to rearrange it, which is also pleasing, it means it won’t fall off =)) Many parts can be bought…

Pros
  • Quiet, power adjustable, replaceable parts.
Cons
  • Not yet =)

It’s kind of flimsy, I looked at reviews on this model, the lower part joins with a click, I don’t have this, it’s all kind of cool or something. You turn the nozzle a little more, the whole top falls off. I have a mikturo, here it is durable, but this one is strange. The filter will have very large cells, only for large debris, it will not screen out a fine suspension. Here you need to insert another filter (filler) inside, or a life hack, I wrap it with a synthetic winterizer napkin. She…

Pros
  • Does the job, runs quietly.
Cons
  • Flimsy. The flow creates a strong one.

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

Its pros: Well purifies water and saturates with oxygen. I took for the aquarium 50 l. For such a volume, the filter is slightly redundant, but the water is cleaner, the fish are more fun)) Got cons: I did not understand the purpose of the stick for mounting in height ((

Good product, not disappointed.

Nice branded filter. With 24-hour operation, and flushing about once every two weeks, it can work for many years. Proven in practice. The weak point is the cable. Over time (after a couple of years of use) it dries out, becomes hard, and may crack at the bend, care should be taken when washing. With a cable damaged in a wet area, it is dangerous to use the filter, you will have to change it. The bearing and impeller are practically eternal. At first there were some concerns about this, but…

Pros
  • Inexpensive, durable filter. Better than Chinese. Aquael has been producing them for twenty years, with minor changes in design. Quite simply arranged, it is convenient to disassemble / assemble and rinse. If you do not use an additional valve with aeration tube from the kit, it works almost silently.
Cons
  • There are hard-to-reach places in the filter housing, where, when washing, you can crawl only with a small brush. Filters manufactured ten or fifteen years ago had softer cables. Now, apparently, out of economy, they began to put worse. In a large model, Fan 2, you need to look more carefully when snapping a glass with a filter insert, if you do not stick the glass into the body until it stops, it may unexpectedly bounce during operation.

Good product at a good price, I recommend to try it.

Despite all the shortcomings that most likely arose due to the preservation of the filter's price attractiveness on the market, it is not bad. Pros below: Still a time-tested design that allows the filter to be used with or without a basket. It is possible to hang the filter over the edge of the aquarium using a bracket without the use of quickly tanning suction cups. Sufficiently powerful, adjustable flow, there is the possibility of aeration, all devices for this are included. The flow can be

Not my best purchase, you could have found something else.

simple construction, quiet operation. Allows you to use a synthetic winterizer instead of a sponge, or a microfiber cloth. or a flap from a rolled rag over a filter sponge. Pts. a necessary function if the water turns green in the aqua. Fighting the euglenoy green debt and tedious. I wind one piece of a rolled rag over a sponge, I change it once a week, I have crystal water.

Pros
  • quiet operation, the ability to use a synthetic winterizer or microfiber cloth instead of a sponge, or together with it, but in a thin layer

The product is average, Im not sure its worth the money.

Before that, there was fan 1plus, so there is something to compare with. This one is much louder. And it makes some strange noises. The stick on which the filter sponge is put on constantly falls off and just dangles in the glass, maybe because of this it makes incomprehensible sounds. Now it’s loud, then it’s quiet, then it generally seems as if the air is being jarred somewhere. I'll be watching for a couple more days. If the causes of the noise cannot be eliminated, I will issue a refund.

Pros
  • not expensive
Cons
  • It's noisy and works really weird. Some kind of jerks. It feels like it's sucking air in somewhere.

Good product, not disappointed.

Its pros: Very easy disassembly and assembly. Powerful enough, good filter quality. All declared characteristics are true. The price is very attractive. Has some cons: Expectations for the intensity of water purification were somewhat higher.

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Has pros: Flow Level Adjustment Ease of filter removal for maintenance Some cons: Once I spat out water through the air intake sleeve during aeration, so do not throw the sleeve over the side of the aquarium

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

Pros: Excellent product. I'm buying the 3rd one already. 2 others work well for almost two years without a break in another aquarium. In general, I have been using Fan products for a very long time. Fan micro plus has been working in the glo thorn aquarium for more than 10 years, filtering the water and supplying oxygen to generations of these fish. With its cons: Flaws: - if it is tightly fixed in the glass in the last filter in the rotary chamber, then the fixation in the filters that I bough

The rating was lowered solely because of the service, there are no complaints about the filter. The filter arrived without one part. After the application for technical support, amazon unsubscribed that it did not solve the issue of returning the essentially defective goods and shifted the responsibility to the seller, also asked to wait 4 days. The seller apparently sent my coordinates to the AQUAEL service center, from where they called me and offered to send the part. As a result, after 3…

Pros
  • Good filter. A model that has stood the test of time. Good aeration and stable performance. Sponges are enough for 3-4 weeks without washing. Adjustment of power of a stream of water. Pretty quiet compared to Tetra.
