I have so much to say about this external filter. It's super easy to setup, i like how the lid gets sucked into position once sealed. I like how it's easily accessible to take parts out to fix. I like how it comes with all the filters that needs no replacement unless you want too. I like how easily cleanable the filters, filter pods, filtration unit, lid tubes water drainage, water sprayer is. I like that i can store this unit anywhere as i dont like units taking up space within my turts tank. The appearance is minimal though does look like a science experiment happening i sort of like it. Noise level of the unit is barely there. You'll feel it vibrate if your hand is on it but you wont hear anything unless you're clean water is sprouting out in your pond or tank. You can easily adjust the sound of your clean water flow. Quality of the unit is fare, though i do wish the motor part wasn't so easily rotatable. However no leakage or airblocks are found as the unit is in perfect order. 5/5 satisfied only with one flaw i stated late above.

Brilliant value for money bigger than expected very powerful pump Excellent filtering capability quiet running pump pond water was clear within a hour Easy to use and easy to clean Extremely happy

Very happy easy to set up and works really well

This is a nice, quiet and cheap little canister filter that does the job well enough. I bought it to replace an internal filter that died on me and so far so good. The set up is a little bit tricky getting it primed with no air bubbles in the flow, but once you get it going, it's perfect, completely silent and filters well. If you're struggling, this is basically a re-branded filter which sells in the states under the brand name Sunsun, so if you're struggling with the setup, I recommend searching for Sunsun canister filter setup on YouTube and you'll find loads of videos of people walking you through it. This is handy because if it does get trapped air, it's hideously noisy and the flow is awful, but once you get it going well, it's perfect. Mine is set up about a metre below the tank. There's loads of space for media, as well as a couple of little trays and it comes with plastic ball media and three sponges of different coarseness. I removed the balls and replaced them with Seachem Matrix, which has been fuss free and I had plenty of room to put the old sponges from my old filter in for a few weeks to allow the tank to keep stable and bacteria to breed easily from the old media. Honestly, I still feel like the flow is very soft in my 150L tank, but my fish are all low flow lovers anyway, so I'm okay with that, but if you need a rapid flow, i would look elsewhere. Overall, a good filter for a great price, but priming it is a little tricky and the low flow sort of goes against it. Depending on your application, you can decide if this is a heavy count against it or not.

Have had an issue with this recently and feel like I’m getting no where with the seller! Having to buy a different filter asap. Filter can be noisy have to keep moving it about! For the noises to stop. Don’t recommend

Excellent quality came with everything you need to set up, quiet , works really well and is very compact.

I was tired of my tanks filer keep clogging up..and my fish passing away..got this and ita the best thing i could have got..my tanks staying clean fish are so much more healthy and even have some fry now..comes with everything needed

The filter worked for a while and kept the water clean, but started leaking. Have experienced this issue before with similar filter by same brand - so can only assume this type of item has a short life span which is frustrating considering the cost and the quality associated with the brand name.
