Review on 🐠 Optimized Marineland Magniflow Canister Filter for Easy Aquarium Maintenance by Amber Chavez

I was very happy to get my first canister and finally shut down some noisy HOB blocks. While I was a little nervous about flooding living quarters, I was also cautious. See if you neglect the filter to the point where the pressure of the siphon can overcome the seals on the block instead of fighting gravity back to the tank. This can happen when the power is off. A dirty filter increases the water pressure that the old seal can overcome. Therefore, service the filter regularly and check/replace any suspect seals and o-rings. Please don't listen to people who say you can go months without cleaning the filter. At least a month. Just clean up. Either way, this device is solid, sturdy, well made, quiet and comes with everything you need. I have friends with SunSun and Penn Plax canisters who would happily pay a little more for Marineland because it's just better made. The locks are stiffer, the baskets are bigger, and everything is easier to use. Just do yourself a favor and spend the extra money.
