Description of Penn-Plax Undergravel Aquarium Filter for 10 Gallon Tanks - Enhance Water Clarity & Purity - Freshwater/Saltwater Safe - Two 9.5” x 9.5” Plates

NOTHING LIKE OLD SCHOOL: The Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter is air driven and utilizes an Air Pump (not included) to cycle crystal clear water throughout your aquarium, while keeping a crisp and neat look inside. This means there’s less “moving parts,” making for simplistic and easy maintenance. This filter is suitable for most 10 gallon aquariums. BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL, AND PHYSICAL FILTRATION: As air is pushed through the Air Stones and rises through the Lift Tubes, water is gently suctioned through gravel and the filter plates, allowing both air and water to pass through the Filt-a-Carb Activated Carbon Cartridges. When water continues to be drawn through, anaerobic bacteria collects and colonizes within the gravel and filter plates. ALSO AERATES YOUR TANK: Since the Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter is air driven through the use of Air Stones and an Air Pump (not included), it also aerates your tank. In essence, your aquarium is being filtered and aerated at the same time, though the same system! It’s a filter and bubbler in 1!. ITEMS INCLUDED: The Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter includes 2 Filter Plates, 2 Adjustable Lift Tubes, 2 Straight Airline Tubes, 3 Filter Plate Connecters, and 2 Replaceable Filt-a-Carb Activated Carbon Media Cartridges. MEASUREMENTS: Each Filter Plate Separately = 9.5” (W) x 9.5” (D) / Filter Plates Together = 19” (W) x 9.5” (D) / Each Lift Tube at Filter Plate Base = 9.75” – 12.75”.

Works well but not great.

Suitable for filtration, excellent for aeration. I found the hoses to be too big for a standard 10 gallon tank so I had to cut them or the water level would be too high - had to fill them to the brim to aerate and then the filter wouldn't work. it works correctly. Don't put too much gravel on it or it won't soak up food. It's also quite difficult to remove the tabs from the bottom to hook them. The lower part fits perfectly into the ground. The picture above shows the gravel before I carved…

Pros
  • NOT OLD SCHOOL: The air-driven Clear-Free Premium under gravel filter with air pump (not included) circulates crystal clear water throughout the aquarium and keeps the inside looking fresh and tidy. As a result, it has fewer "moving parts", making maintenance easier. This filter is suitable for most 10 gallon aquariums.

The cheapest, best aquarium system on the market and the most natural!

So easy to use! I use this with small river rocks - a bag from the hardware store. Rinse the stones well before use and place them on the grate. The aquarium has a stable pH, contains rock minerals, has no sharp edges that can injure fish, and requires little maintenance. Maintenance costs are minimal. The cheapest, best aquarium system on the market and the most natural! I've been using it for years and can't be happier. Weekly water changes and carbon filter changes are a breeze and require a

Pros
  • DIMENSIONS: Each Filter Plate Individually = 9.5"(W) x 9.5"(D) / Filter Plates Together = 19"(W) x 9.5"(D) / Each Riser at Base of Filter Plate = 9, 75–12.75"
Cons
  • Can I add something

terrible product! for aquarium pumps and filters

I bought this product to upgrade to a larger aquarium for my angelfish farm and a few other fish. Easy setting. Rinse everything with hot water. I rinsed the carbon filters with hot water for five minutes. The same goes for new gravel. I installed the tank with 20 gallons of water from the old tank. Make sure the temperature is the same as the other tank, install all accessories, install carbon filters in the airflow as indicated. Everything seemed fine, after 6 hours I noticed foam coming off…

Pros
  • ALSO AERATES YOUR TANK: Because the Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter is air-powered by air stones and an air pump (not included), it also aerates your aquarium. Basically, your aquarium is being filtered and aerated at the same time, albeit with the same system! It's a filter and bubbler in one!
