🔝 Marina Power Filtration System Review

***POTENTIAL HAZARD / QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE: On some kits, the plastic part (covered with sponge) does not fit snugly onto the motor. It may come loose during use, leaving a hole open in the motor and sucking in fish, seriously injuring or killing them. Small or delicate fish will definitely suffer. I have about 3 of these power filters and have ordered 3 more in the last two months. They are really good when the plastic part (covered with a sponge) lies snugly against the motor. With a tight…

I bought several marina kits that included this filter and at the same time bought a fourth to spare for my 10 gallon because I thought it would be a great filter for broilers as the flow is adjustable. I later learned that while the output flow can be slightly reduced by turning the flow restrictor at the top of the intake port, the engine will still run at full power. The excess water that doesn't flow through the vent has to go somewhere, and where it goes is from the bottom of the engine…

I bought this filter after countless searches for "custom" filters. I needed a relatively cheap filter (to buy and maintain). Not many people think retrospectively about the money that goes into filters, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on charcoal and biopacks that companies sell. s15 is great for all my needs. I can use different filter materials, the flow is adjustable, and it sold for almost $9! HOW I SET UP THE FILTER I decided to use the two filter packs that came with the filter

This is a good sized filter for standard 10 gallon aqueons/general aquarium. My tank is split down the middle and I originally wanted to buy the S15 just to make sure it had the right filtration for 2 fish, but in the end I decided to save some space and go with the S10. It comes with a filter cartridge, carbon and bio independent. Although I don't use them, I'm not a fan of cartridges at all. I fill the slit where the water enters the filter (inlet section) with Aquaclear Foam sponges, which I

I bought this for my Betta Danny and it's the BEST filter I've found (good price too!). It's housed in a 6 gallon Fluval Chi tank and I was worried it would be too big or overkill, but it's perfect. And just for the backstory, my boy Danny is very spoiled. If he gets mad at me for any reason, he'll strike and bite his own fins or try to fight his reflection all the time. Once I cut the plants in his aquarium because he looked like an insanely overgrown forest and he hid from me and didn't eat…

I was trying to decide whether to buy the Fluval C2 or this skinny Marina. I chose this model because it's thin and unobtrusive, and I love the clear color compared to the Fluval C2, which has an oddly bright red basket inside. In addition, reviews of the durability of this device are more positive in comparison with the Fluval C2, which has problems with noise and propeller failure. This device's motor is located in the tank, which helps with noise cancellation and cooling to keep it from…
