Don't waste your money

It really is a little more than that for 20 gallons, really pumps enough water into the tank, water drips, not a waste of money

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Not bad

Works well - aquarium pumps and filters

I bought this pump to clean my goldfish tank. It worked, no more cloudy water. It works very quietly. It's been working fine for me for two months now.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Something else

Overall 4 1/2 star product so far

This is the best pump I have ever had and holds all types of aquariums I need for any purpose. My biggest criticism is the instructions! They're just not that clear. I like it very clear, especially when it comes to living animals. Otherwise it's an amazing pump - very quiet, easy to set up, lots of customization options; I chose this for my 30 gallon tank for my turtle. I have to say - turtles are not clean animals and this filtration system made the water crystal clear - very impressive.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Some cons

Good filter for fish and aquatic animals

It took me a minute to figure out how to refill! Install the pump about 6 inches below the inlet, empty into a bucket on the floor, close the outlet valve - prime the pump about 6 times, wait 10 seconds, open the valve, wait about 30 seconds, the flow should begin, direct the outlet to the tank, and then you can install the canister. on the floor works every time, i've had mine for about 30 days. I have a giant red-eared slider in a 55 gallon tank about 1/3 full (she gets out a lot, in the tub…

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • No insurance

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

I have a home made 55 gal. barrel filter for my HUGE outdoor carp pond and it works great, reduces the cleaning chores. I never thought I would need a filter like this for my 20 gallon. aquarium, but I do. Unfortunately after purchasing 2 other types of filters that couldn't handle my cloudy water (very disappointing) I bought this canister filter system. After about 4-6 hours, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, THE ANGEL FISH SING AND THE WORLD BECAME MY FRIEND AGAIN, the muddy water GONE! My aquarium is…

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Perfect for my 20 gallon hex tank

Overall this is a great filter. Even with only two media compartments, I can fit everything I need in the filter. The reason I only got four stars is because the two media compartments are connected, but the clips broke off when I first serviced the filter. I went ahead and intentionally broke the other clip to make it easier to separate and rearrange the trays. It is not clear why clips are needed. It is very important to pay attention to the documents attached to the filter. There is a small…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
