Review: Value for money - I have 4 fish tanks .And wanted to set my 80 liter up as a planted aquscape .So I wanted the filter on my 110 for that.this filter is now on my 110 I have converted in to a rimless tank.to do a fuel aquscape .But now it's being used to grow out ten blue power parrots.i received this filter yesterday. And filled it with just over a liter of good quality bio gravel wich was seasoned from my 300lt tank .so set it up as the pond guru suggested. More or less.the flow is really good considering all the foam and bio gravel it has to work through. When I set it up I filled it with water then placed it on to my tank .turned the filter on and it took about 30 secs of coughing before full flow.it did have a slight vibration noise from the impeller. Wich was gone this morning.very impressed for £25 .If you need a filter for an open top tank this is the one.best filter I've seen for the money I have a fluval 407 .207 jewel bio xl Interpet cf3 cf2 .this is quite 6watts and holds a decent amount of media.dont take my word for it .pimp my filter u tube he says it better.5 stars.
Review: Fantastic but add better bio media. - 10 month review. Brilliant filter, no leaking, great flow and filtration (with altered bio media). There's a fantastic review on YouTube by PondGuru for this and I suggest you follow his advice for it. It's been amazing while my 100 litre tank was overstocked for about 7 months and I had zero Ammonia and zero Nitrites thanka to the filtration. Fortunately, it's heavily planted so I needn't worry about Nitrates either. The spray bar outlet traps air in easier so you get that awful sound for awhile any time you stop and start the pump. You need to tilt the filter to try and get the air out but it's not a problem with the hose outlet. It's fairly quiet, I wouldn't say it's noisy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size gap do i need behind the tank with this filter ?**
A: Hanging on the side could be an option if there isn’t much room at the back.

**Q: Would this be too much flow for a 50L beta tank?**
A: Yes it will work fine.
I have mine on my 30cm cube 27 litre Beta tank.
It hangs on the back perfectly, I have corse, medium, fine sponges in the bottom tay. 
Then Seachem Matrix, Seachem Purigen 100g and lastly Filter wool.
I use the spray bar attachment facing forwards at 45 degrees towards the water surface and the inlet open fully to draw water from the tank and the outlet at minimum to reduce the flow. My Betta makes use of the whole water column with ease.
The water stays crystal clear and the parameters are all stable. I haven't suffered any spikes or crashes.

**Q: What's the wattage please?**
A: This pump is 6W. I bought one for my Axolotl tank and was so impressed I bought one for each of my other 3 tanks.

**Q: How wide is this filter.**
A: 200 mil / 8 inches

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Few minor issues but worth it
*by P***. on 30 April 2023*

My current set up is a 30x30 cube, 30cm strip light, and now this filter, all from all pond solutions. I was hesitant after reading the one star reviews but this was replacing an £8 hang on the back and I knew returns would easy with Amazon if it's crap. The good: 1. It's quiet once you have primed the filter and got all the air out of it. You will know of there air in the system, it's loud and I will admit it's an arse on. You need to lift one side whilst it's running for best results. 2. The multi stage media trays means I could swap out old filter media into two of trays and add some extra ceramic balls. 3. The adjustable intake and out take means you can actually fine tune to the flow rate you need. The bad: 1. I actually had a leaky outlet pipe where it connects to the main unit. I used some plumbing tape and vaseline and that seems to have done the trick. This would probably be the end of the road for most people and would return it. 2. The impeller is not completely silent with my unit. It's either further air or the impeller is imbalanced. However, again I applied a generous bit of vaseline to the impeller and this has done the trick. 3. It was genuinely hard to get the flow rate going at first. I would recommend attaching the media baskets to the pump neck, then placing everything in the filter container after filling with water (do it in the sink). This ensures the filter is actually sucking up water from the column. Overall I'm happy with it for the price I paid. This filter is night and day difference to the old one that used to give a noticeable hum through the desk. Obviously if you spend more money you will probably have something perfect from the box, but for a budget filter I would recommend
