Review on Penn Plax Cascade Canister Aquarium Fish & Aquatic Pets ~ Aquarium Pumps & Filters by Victoria Smith

Very dissatisfied! After installation, the water was white, cloudy. I lost a total of 6 fish within a week of installing it. My angelfish and golden severum suffered in an almost catonic state for several days; The scalar constantly swims in circles, and the severum hangs in the same position for several days. I haven't lost a single fish in over 6 months and all looked healthy until the new filter was installed. I followed the instructions in the email to install. All water parameters were/are good. I haven't lost a single fish since the 50% water change, but plan on doing at least one more just to be safe. I like the idea of this filter, but the reality turned out to be awful. I'll stick with it as I think the worst is over. Just be very careful, and if your water looks cloudy and you know you have a recirculation tank, do a water change as soon as possible! Unfortunately my wife bought the 1000 for her tank before we knew what was going on. Your piebalds are not looking good and are floating on the surface. We immediately did a 50% water change. Hoping it will save her.
