Full disclosure, I purchased this last year for a tank I just assembled in the last two months. Yesterday, it stopped working. Not even two full months, and it just stopped working. Sadly, I am not made of money. I can’t return it, but now I have to wait to replace it. (There are no fish in the tank yet, thankfully.). I’m just so disappointed, because I was finally about to populate the tank. And essentially, my money has gone down the drain. That just makes me sad.
I thought I would give this project a try, but with in a 2 months the cheap plastic propeller broke, making it junk. I should have gotten another Aquaclear, I've bought 4 of them and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great filter plus out of all the canister filters I've have, the Aquaclear is the easiest to clean up and you never have to worry about it leaking.
My aquarium's previous filter stopped working and I needed to keep my aquarium clean. This one is smaller but works great. Will be ordering another one soon.
The filter did not clean the tank at all and was extremely loud for the type of filter. Lots of "buzzing or humming. Tried to contact chewy about returning it and never received the email back.
I received our new Marineland filter in a timely manner. When I installed it, I found that the bio wheel wouldn't spin. Luckily we had 2 older ones, so I replaced the defective one and bazinga, it works! We love Chewy, their Pawsome associates & their prices!
I bought this pump in March. It has stopped working and the wheel won't spin. I contacted the company but never heard back from them.
I absolutely love this brand. All 6 of my tanks have this brand
Loud and grinding sounds already 3 days after plugging in. Do not waste your money.
I had originally ordered this filter about a year and a half ago.It worked great until one day I woke up and it was not running anymore.I cleaned it up replaced the filter and still nothing. Chewy was kind enough to send me a replacement even if I had purchased the item 6 months ago.The replacement was working fine right up until 2 weeks ago.It started to make a horrible grinding noise I managed to finagle the intake tube which helped the noise a bit but it still was very loud.Today I officially retired the annoying hunk of garbage.Do yourself a favor and order a different type of filter
I haven't even had this pump for a month and I woke up this morning to it yet again stopped working. And i couldn't get it started again. This is the 2md pump like this ive bought and not even a month later it's broken
