Great filter, terrible cleaning mess.

Quiet operation and excellent filter. but when it comes to cleaning pipes and canister baskets to avoid mud. it's almost not worth it. Disconnecting and reconnecting hoses is a nightmare. I literally have blisters on my arm from the last week of cleaning. I have one of these in a 36 gallon setup but additional filtration is required to ensure adequate filtration. I'm thinking of getting rid of mine and just adding a second HOB. It's easier and less hassle. This is a great filter if you don't…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not bad

AMAZING improvement over HOB filters

I have a 33 gallon tank. I tried different HOB filters. Some are better than others, but this canister WILL DESTROY THEM. I used to have chronic problems with brown diatoms despite frequent cleanings and water changes. After a thorough cleaning, my plants and decorations will turn brown again in at least 1.5-2 weeks. This completes the filter. I cleaned my aquarium thoroughly when I installed this filter (discoloration of decorations and stones and glass cleaning) and it has now been a MONTH…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Useless features

Very happy with it!

I really like it. Very quiet. He's no more than ten feet from me in my living room and I can't hear him at all. It's in the closet so your experience might be different. I can't hear very well, but I can't even hear it up close. My only complaint is that removing the valves to clean the filter leaves water between the valve and where it screws onto the filter. When you unscrew the nut, water comes out with it. It's not much, but it's enough, so you should soak it up with a towel. It's annoying,

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Some bugs

BEWARE IT LEAKS!

I WAS GLAD TO RECEIVE MY NEW CANE PEN. . He gathered this together, filled the bottom to the bottom of the upper basket as instructed, started it up, looked for some time to make sure nothing was spilling, looked fine, thought I'd come back after 20 minutes and the water flowed from the upper part of the device. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES, RESULT, I DON'T THINK THAT THE TOP SEAL IS THICK ENOUGH TO COMPACT PROPERLY, ANYWAY I WILL SHARE IT ON PARTS, HOSES ETC

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not sure

Very excited about my Aqueon canister filter system.

Can't say enough about my new canister filter system. I was ready to surrender to this aquarium. Couldn't clean it no matter what I did to it and the nitrites were very high. I chose Aqueon Quietflow because of the good reviews and the aquarium set I bought is also made by Aqueon. I received the product within a week and was able to assemble everything myself which was shocking as I never knew anything about canister filtration systems. As soon as I turned it on, no kidding, I saw the water…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • update available

This is ONE!: Fish and aquatic animals

I LOVE the quiet motor, efficiency, light weight, easy cleaning, assembly and operation of this canister! I have a 55 gallon fresh water tank and have chosen the Aqueon 300 (75-100 gallons). I always choose filtering for my aquarium (LOTS of fish!). I have tried to step out with the spout (about 2 weeks) in the direction of length. I liked that the water circulates back to the water inlet. The current seemed too strong for my fish. Turn on the sprinkler and it will work much better - the fish…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Good but not great

Adapts very well to fish and aquatic animals

Pros: Quiet Adaptability Efficiency Cons: Cleaning hose lines can be time consuming. 1 on a 75 gallon kio tank and the other on a 38 gallon tropical tank. Kio broke the long return pipe as it was cheap plastic. So I replaced it with a PVC version. With the right fittings you can connect the inlet and outlet with PVC fittings (even painted to match the background of your tank (use the right colors)). It's very quiet, I can hear bubbles over the filter. However, cleaning is another matter. Be…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some problems

Over-the-edge add-on makes maintenance easier

I have a 125 gallon tank that isn't clean enough for my two, big on the edge of the tank, offline -Filter. I knew I needed a canister filter but hated the disassembly required for service. This device promised and has so far benefited both. For a few days my sluggish Severums would happily swim around the tank and about every two weeks I take a charcoal filled gauze pad from the attachments that double the water return elements to clear debris. It is easy to assemble and you can also refill the

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Don't really like it, it's ok
