Get Aquarium Pumps and Filters

They work well except they don't stick very well to the top of the rim. Large fish hitting the air intake can loosen the clip and cause a mess or even ruin the filter. It hasn't happened yet, but I adjust and tighten regularly.

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Some Cons

Great product and design, overpriced.

Love the way they work, hold your hoses nice and secure, no kinks. That being said, I think Fluval is overcharging for most of their products. Take replacement water shut off valve rings for example $10 for two, the filter lasts 4 and I can buy the same at my hardware store for 30 cents each.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Very Expensive

The clip breaks easily (:0(

I accidentally broke the first clip that came with the filter when trying to remove the clip once it was installed on my tank was without realizing you can't do it. This second one broke trying to put it on my tank. I was extra cautious because of what happened the first time. I'm not sure if the Plastic brittle or just not made for it was the 75 gallon framed aquarium..

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • There's nothing here
