Fluval C Series Power Filter: 🐠 Enhanced Clip-On Aquarium Filter for Optimal Performance Review

I was looking for a filter that would restart after a power outage. My last filter died as soon as the power went out and almost burned out after a power outage in the middle of the night.

I love these Fluvals! I bought three of these to replace the Marineland 350 Penguin filter pumps I use.

It arrived in the Fluval c-nodes box with some scratches on the plastic from dust/sand. I don't care about scratches as this is a very useful piece of equipment that most of the time isn't visible. Build quality and…

I bought the C3 for my 29 gallon planted aquarium as a secondary filter; My main filter was an Eheim Professional 4+ 350. You may be wondering why so much filtration for a smaller tank - well I wanted some redundancy in case my main filter ever fails, which is always good to have, but basically I wanted to be able to change the media for any problems that might arise in the future without having to dismantle the canister filter if I also had one. So let me start with the features and why I…
