Review on ๐Ÿ  Penn-Plax Cascade Canister Aquarium Filter (1200 Elite): Superior Filtration for Pristine Water by Dawn Gomez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

About as good as its price. But that's all.

I've only had this filter for about a year and it has served me well. I've struggled with filling issues and leaky connections and now it's almost waterproof. I've cleaned this thing more times than I've ever cleaned my Fluval. The only reason I replaced my Fluval was because it was 30 years old and had had enough. It comes with a wand that extends across the back to spray water evenly across the top of the tank. Nice feature, but the filter barely builds up enough pressure to force water through all the holes. There are a number of other brands that cost more. I was hoping it was just markup in the brand's name, but I think that might not be the case. Product. It was a disappointing product. It's also very noisy.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not the best
