Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The rena siphon pump is very quiet and has good suction. It is heavier than rena but hooks up easy.

This setup is on a 75 gallon aquarium. Mine is the 220 gpm, 55 gal model.

Price beats most local prices. Great filter for the price. Extra space for my amo chips to keep ammonia out.

The gasket is completely essential and not mentioned. The only downside is there is no way to insert the heater into the canister. Easy instructions, and everything, parts come with it.

Price


For the money you get a lot of filtration.


All in all i would probably buy again for the price.

    Most people become aggravated by leaks a few months after purchasing this filter

    After struggling to find replacement parts i took it upon myself to disassemble and thoroughly inspect every part for the source of the leak


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It wasnt coming from the main seal or the primer plunger but from within the valve block


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You have to disassemble the valve block and replace the orings on the nipples

    Marineland does sell them so youll need to match them up at the hardware store or buy an oring assortment kit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Lube all the orings in the valve block with a food grade silicone grease and you should be good for 6 months or so


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you can use a more flexible hose it might help the orings last longer

    Con no oring seal gasket
