Aquael ULTRAMAX 2000 External Filter Review

I really liked the filter. I plan to change part of the filler during the next cleaning (ceramics need to be added, the synthetic winterizer does not inspire confidence) the sponges are of excellent quality. I only wash the prefilter when cutting plants, as it gets clogged with parts of plants (very convenient, no flattery is needed in the inside of the filter). For its money, this is the most inexpensive external device among European manufacturers, only Chinese filters made from remelted…

The aquarium stands three meters from the head of the bed. The noise is minimal, not disturbing at all. The prefilter is conveniently cleaned, the basket is removed, even the hands do not get wet. Transparent hoses are a little overgrown with algae, but I think this is simply not visible on opaque ones. Assembled and installed in half an hour. The flute was not put on, the husband does not like the sound of the murmur of water. The flow is conveniently adjustable. the 400 liter aquarium has…

A wonderful thing installed without problems, all components were in stock. It started up perfectly 2 times and the water itself flowed, plugged it in, blew out the air, and everything worked perfectly, I am very pleased, thank you.

I can add dimensions. I did not find it in the filter characteristics, not in the documentation for it. Dimensions of the can itself: 280*270*410mm (w*d*h) without fittings.

I replaced the synthetic winterizer with a medium-porous sponge and bought additional ceramics. Works for a month and everything is fine. By the way, I have all the aquarium equipment of this company and I am very satisfied. I'm going to buy another such external filter for another 225 l aquarium. Has pros: Performance, the water in the 200 l aquarium is clear, although the aquarium has an overpopulation with swordtails and bristlefish. Started without problems, did not cut the hoses. Quiet…

For some reason, after installing the filter, water began to leave the can, while there was no leak anywhere. Mystery of the century. Apparently, due to the current, evaporation increases .

Pros: Great filter, quiet and powerful, everything you need in the kit Has some cons: The regular hoses have too thick walls (almost 3mm), they did not fit between the wall and the aquarium, I had to buy separately with 2mm walls

I bought to replace the 1200th tetra, 350 liters, scrofula. The performance is noticeably greater than the tetra. Liked the inlet. It delays large pieces, but has not been clogged for almost a year. The prefilter is a rather convenient thing, but it clogs up quickly, you have to wash it every three weeks, although the rest of the filter has not been washed for almost a year. Let's see how long it will maintain tightness, the increased number of joints (prefilter, removable hose holders)…

Silence, ease of cleaning the pre-filter and other useful features are on top. Of course, I ran such a filter for the first time and made a number of mistakes, as a result I lost 16 fish. Briefly about the start-up recommendation, you need to fill the filter with aquarium water, add tablets with beneficial bacteria to it, connect the hoses and pump it well with a lever, after connecting to the mains, be sure to shake the filter so that all the air comes out. The first run is better with the…
