Great -- maybe -- filter

The 50 pump is generally a great pump. I don't particularly care about the warning LED; it's too sensitive and actually started blinking right away and none of the recommended settings helped. Also, I'd rather not pay a premium for an almost useless feature. If you want to use a 90 degree bend in a turtle tank, you'll need to somehow secure the motor assembly with some form of sealant, as the assembly can break off easily.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Available in white only

Unreliable for bigger fish

I've used the old QuietFlow 50 for many years and found it quite reliable, although it required almost a monthly disassembly to separate the motor. Recently the clip that attaches the motor to the pump body broke and I replaced it with a new QuietFlow 50 with LED clogging indicator. The reliability of this device is very disappointing and I have to replace it with another brand. My koi can easily loosen the pump's suction tube by hitting it, causing the pump to stop working completely. That…

Pros
  • Tested for a year
Cons
  • Nothing here

Very noisy filter that quickly falls apart.

I bought this filter after realizing that top fin filters leak really badly and literally had to run to the store to get a 55/75 emergency quiet flow filter to buy. When I traded my 55/75 to Petco they immediately refunded me and said they had an issue with this filter but since there is nothing I can do just do a little research and we will return this filter if you find it are happy. With. The new 55/75 has actually worked with no issues so far so I figured I decided to get a 50 quiet flow…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Hard to say
