I want to make sure this will fit my tank. So what is the space between the intake and the back? I am basically wondering how big the lip on the tank can be?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 21, 2019
The dimensions are arranged as depth (front to back) x width across x height from the bottom of filter (not including the length of the tube). The 20-gallon filter is 4.5 inches long, 7 inches wide and 6.5 inches tall. Size 30 dimensions are 4.5 x 8.2 x 6.7 inches. Size 50 dimensions are 4 x 9 x 8 inches. Size 70 dimensions are 6.2 x 10.7 x 8.6 inches. Size 110 dimensions are 7.1 x 13.9 x 9.1 inches. The part of the filter that overhangs, into the tank, is approximately 2 inches.

How long does the filter tube extend out to

Answer by Chewy • Feb 06, 2018
The tube extends to 6.5 inches for the size 110 filter.

Would this be a great filter for my messy turtle

Answer by Chewy • Sep 03, 2018
The multi-stage filtration system helps maintain a healthy tank for both fresh and saltwater aquariums.

Just bought a 75 gallon fish tank well I hope it is but what size do I need for my tank?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 04, 2018
The most suitable option for a 75 gallon tank would be the size 110.

Lasted ten months

I really liked it because it was decently quiet and picked up quite a bit of gunk from the water. Had it on my 50 gallon goldfish tank. It lasted just under a year

i’ve had this bad boy for about two years now, and let me tell you for the time being i rlly liked it!! however, this past time i went to turn it on after cleaning the tank it won’t turn on anymore. i’m not sure i would’ve bought this if i knew it would only have a couple years of a lifespan on it. honestly kinda disappointed, it makes sense to not replace a product someone bought a couple years ago but the fact that it stopped working all together and i can’t get a new one sent soon is leaving me in a tough spot for my beta fish.

Anyone who keeps fish probably knows HOB filters are a common enemy. I have gone through many brands and am quite pleased with the Aqua Clear. It was dead silent the first 3 days, but now has a quiet steady hum. It took a little effort to get it primed, but it has a lot of flow options. Overall I am very pleased and haven't had any issues with excessive noise or sputtering (yet). I am currently reviewing this around the two month mark.

Replaced under gravel filter, works fine.

Used with under gravel filter at first. It was not needed, so just using the Power Filter now and it works well. A bit louder at first, but raised the water level

Used with under gravel filter at first. It was not needed, so just using the Power Filter now and it works well. A bit louder at first, but raised the water level a bit, and now less splashing. I have two very large goldfish, 13 years old.

I've been running Emperor 400's in my two 55 gallon tanks for over 30 years. Finally had to replace one last year. I bought two AC 70's to put on the dead side of my tank for extra filtration and water movement. They are good filters but I don't get all the hype about them. The Emperor is a lot better, in my book, hands down.

The Best HOB

I have this HOB filter on most of my tanks. They outlast other brands. They are quiet. I like that you can change out media. The shape of the media basket is square

I have this HOB filter on most of my tanks. They outlast other brands. They are quiet. I like that you can change out media. The shape of the media basket is square so cutting filter pads to fit is easy. It would be nice if it had a surface skimmer like other popular models but the trade off is less junk in the tank and a cleaner look. Which I prefer.

I bought this to replace an incredibly noisy Tetra (which Chewy promptly credited). It was easy to set up, works very well, and is quiet. So far,I am happy with the filter. The filter media seems to be more economical than the very expensive Aqueon units I use on my other tanks.
