Questions & Answers

46 Customer Questions

Can you adjust the flow rate?
Answer by Chewy • Apr 23, 2018
There is a gray lever that opens and closes, allowing water movement at mid-level. If closed, the filter will only pull water from the bottom of the tank.
My bio wheel will not spin.
Answer by Chewy • Dec 31, 2019
Usually when the Bio-Wheel won't spin either the water level is low, the filter system needs cleaning or the Bio-Wheel bearings are misplaced or dirty. Take the filter off of the tank, take it apart, and give it a good cleaning using warm water and distilled white vinegar. Make sure to pay close attention to the impeller, motor, intake tube, impeller housing and bearings. Rinse them well after cleaning and re-install.
Does it come with filter cartridges?
Answer by Chewy • Dec 22, 2018
A filter cartridge is included with purchase.
will this work for a 40 gallon "tall" octagon fish tank??
Answer by Chewy • May 22, 2018
The Penguin 200 would be an ideal filter for a 40 gallon octagon tank as it should fit on the narrow panels of the tank, and has a long extension tube on it. Also, if you find you need to extend the tube even further, you can buy a mid-level strainer and an extension tube to lengthen it.

Learn your product Great product will last yrs

This is a great product have been using for 2yrs not a problem other than my own ignorance.many folks here having problems ive experienced not knowing how to work a good filtration system. If the filters are clogged or water level low the bio wont spin you still have to clean your tank after water change make sure suction pipe is not jammed in or pushed out easy does it..fill the pump with water it gets it going. This product doesn't just quit working. And its only loud when the tank isnt filled to proper level.

Top notch very happy

I have a 55 gallon aquarium. With two yellow bellied sliders. This filter keeps the water clean. Is quite and has a nice water fall effect. Peaceful. I have to clean the filters once a week since turtles are very messy.

It's on point!

I couldn't believe how easy it was to order products for my fish. I found it to be simple and easy to do so. What was even better is that I received my order the next day. Thank you for simplicity .

GREAT BUY!

These are the best filters ever! I have spent a small fortune on different filters in the past, and these are by far the best. Rather inexpensive, quiet and easy to set up and the cartridge is easy to change.

Don't waste your money

Worst filter I've ever bought! Started making a horrible noise a week after I set it up and shut down 2 months after. It will not turn on.

LOUDESTFILTEREVER

Purchased to replace a worn out Penguin with two bio-wheels I had used for years. The new one was Loud. I ran it for 3 days and readjusted the impeller to no avail. Laughable it was so loud you could hear it from another room in my house. Will keep as a replacement for the other brand filter I bought which is so quiet I have to check to see if it is running. Filter worked but the volume was unbearable.
