Pros

The fluval filter is vastly quieter than my previous filter. The water is much clearer. My tank is always crystal clear.

Very pleased with this purchase. Would recommend it. My only regret about this purchase is i didn't buy it earlier.



Cons

It's very difficult to clip back in place, and 2 out of the 3 clips broke. Nowhere on this listing states it’s an eu plug. Returning for refund.

Two weeks later the filter is making a loud churning noise. Its gets very noisy as the bio pellets inside the cartridge wear down and start rattling. Tried fluval pellets as receommended to no avail, just as noisy.

    I hope that the company that makes this filter will read my review


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Most tanks are located on a cabinet or unit some distance off the floor add to that the possibility of an accessible socket may be more than 1m from the tank and i would think it fair to say that a 2m power cable length would be a minimum requirement
