Baby Fish Warning
By JenR on May 30, 2020
Please be aware that not only will you need a sponge on filter intake tube; you will also need one on the return as a baffle and this product also has a surface skimmer which can suck your babies into the impeller. Heart Broken. You must pull the skimmer up to the top of the intake tube until it snugs to deactivate it. This filter is very powerful and the overflow overflows even when you turn it down to almost closed. It's supposed to be an aquarium not a washing machine.

Wow. Love it.
By Jesusloverofmysoul1 on Feb 16, 2020
Wow. This is so quiet. Love how this product keeps my 20 gallon tank so clean at all times. Love the UV light too. This is a must buy product. So easy to put together, so easy to put on the tank. Love how the skimmer is self adjustable too.

Keep looking
By Leeky on Mar 5, 2020
Just like some of the other reviews, mine leaked like crazy. Front and back. Had to order another, still waiting.

Great product!
By Fishy1 on Oct 10, 2019
This filter is just what I needed for my 20 gallon goldfish tank. Anyone that has goldies knows how dirty they can be. This also makes them notorious for getting sick. Their water quality can get real bad real quick. My recommendation is to change their water often, no matter what type of filtration or how many filters are used. On my tank, I use a Whisper 40 and the Aquatop PF-25 UV. Other helpful hints, uv sterilizers are helpful for killing free swimming disease causing organisms that will infect fish. They are also great for killing or reducing algae.

Bad design
By Saucey on Jul 27, 2019
Flooded my home. Water ran off of v shaped cut where intake tube comes into the pump and down the back of aquarium. Was an hour or so before I noticed. Just long enough to flood room adjacent to where aquarium is set up.

Poor design
By Pinhead on Jul 13, 2019
Because of the way it is designed it can’t be cleaned properly which is a real hassle. Also the instructions are poor. I had to quit using it because it cannot be cleaned.
