Ribs broke due to poor packaging

For some reason I have two different packages - one is broken, the other is intact. The packaging is totally inadequate as the ribs can easily break. Quality control (common sense) should have noticed this. I haven't used an impeller that survived shipping but it seems fine.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

But it is very good.

It was exactly as advertised and works great. However, you should understand that only what is shown in the picture is included. The center piece and the rubber stopper that it plugs into are not included in the kit. If you need them, this is a separate article. Based on my experience so far, I assume that I will need another one in a year or three and will definitely replace all moving parts during that time.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Impeller cover will cause failure of this item

A defective impeller cover clamp will break and cause premature wear of this item. to wobble and break. (When I first bought two of these Fluval BrandNew filters the impeller cap that came with it lasted over a year, now I'll be lucky if I can get one that lasts 3 months. The impeller cap's appearance has changed and you could tell that different materials were used)

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Very expensive

Problem solved - filter accessory

Perfect for my 404. I knew my impeller was failing as it got loud and stopped working. However, I didn't notice it until it went bad (it twisted in half and damaged the plastic). In case this happens to you and you don't know what to do (I can't imagine you would have a filter this size unless you have aquarium knowledge) connect the air pump and air stone. This keeps the oxygen in your water, although your nitrogen will continue to build up, until you turn the filter back on. However, thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Good but not great

The perfect little detail to fix a not-so-perfect design.

Three years with my Fluval 405 so I guess it's about time. He started rattling like crazy. Then the flow slowed. Then no flow at all. I found out where the knock was coming from, ordered this part. I took this opportunity to inspect and replace some parts that had deteriorated. It wasn't until the new parts arrived that I realized how bad the old parts were. His replacement helped immediately. The power is back. There's electricity again. The noise is gone. I wasn't expecting to have to replace

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
