Description of Aqueon QuietFlow Aquarium Power Filter Fish & Aquatic Pets

LED indicator light flashes when water cannot pass through the cartridge, generally indicating it's time to change the cartridge. Self-priming filter pump will auto-start initially or restart if power is interrupted and restored. Provides mechanical, chemical, biological and optional, additional specialty pad filtration. High flow rates for optimal dissolved oxygen content to promote healthier, more active fish. Internal pump design helps dampen noise and eliminate leaks with self-priming feature. Do not clean Bioholster when replacing the cartridge as it contains beneficial biological bacteria. Fits fresh or saltwater aquarium size up to 20 gallons. Uses One Medium Aqueon Replacement Cartridge and Size 10 Specialty Filter Pads.

Suitable for fish and aquatic animals for 3 years

This filter was durable and fitted well in my 10G aquarium. As time went on he got weaker and weaker. But the guppy fry still managed to get into the cartridge. Today (3 years and 1 month use) I cleaned the filter every two weeks. When I plugged it back in, it wouldn't turn on. This has been happening for about half a year now: the computer took some time to restart and sometimes had to be disconnected and reconnected several times to get it working. Today, however, he's officially dead. I felt

Pros
  • Uses a medium Aqueon replacement cartridge and 10 custom size filter pads
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Works very well but the LED is crap

Don't worry if you use the LED as a guide when changing the filter . This happens almost instantly and doesn't really work the way the manufacturer thinks or should. I just sealed it with black tape after it "wouldn't go off" after changing the filter and cleaning the unit monthly. It's not scary to clean, but it's difficult to get into the corners and bottom of the unit with a brush. You'd think the industry would have already figured out that a round container is easier to clean. The unit I…

Pros
  • Do not clean the bio holster when changing the cartridge as it contains beneficial biological bacteria
Cons
  • Clarity

Good but too loud!

I have had this filter 2 times in the past and in the current one I all tend to make the same noise. I've seen several reviews on here that seem to have the same problem and they keep saying that the motor sounds like it's gone bad when actually it's not, that loud loud noise like Engine noise is actually the cover vibrates a lot, which makes people think the engine is bad, I always have to take off the cover at night because the noise does not let me sleep. In general, the filter itself is a…

Pros
  • The self-priming filter pump starts automatically at the beginning or restarts when the power is cut off and restored
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

I like the design/position of the motor that requires no primer

Pro: compact, quiet, feels powerful. I like the design/location of the motor that doesn't require priming. Cons: Durability. Purchased on 05/26/2015. A year later the motor/impeller started to seize/stall. FYI, this is in a 10 gallon tank with a bi-weekly water change (1/3 tank) and an OEM filter change every 5-6 weeks. Initially, such attacks occurred every 4-6 weeks. I would have to detach the motor block from the filter housing, run clean water through it and loosen the impeller. I didn't…

Pros
  • Suitable for up to 20 gallon freshwater or saltwater aquariums
Cons
  • Legacy
