## Description

5 Gallon Aquarium Filter with Surface Skimmer, Small Quiet Fish Tank Filter, Biochemical Cotton Filtration & Adjustable Water Flow, Waterfall Design for Increasing Oxygen, Hang on Back Filter

## Features

- 【How to Use Laqual Filter】The filter is suitable for a 2-7 gallon fish tank. 1. Before each restart, make sure the filter basket water level is above 50%. Before the first use, we recommend filling the filter basket with water. 2. Fish tank water level must be above the water inlet of the surface skimmer. 3. The maximum water intake is 80gal (300L) / h. Two extension tubes can be adapted to different water levels. Please feel free to message us if there is any problem during use.
- 【Efficient Filtration & Surface Skimmer, Clean Home for Your Fish】With the scientific structure, the pump is very powerful and energy-saving. Biochemical cotton features a high density, much thicker, not easy to clog or damage. It can efficiently filter out impurities, such as residues and feces, and also improve water quality. The unique surface skimmer can effectively remove the scum, so you'll never struggle with how to remove it. Come and give your lovely fish a clean and comfortable home!
- 【Shock-Absorbing Fixed Knob, Quiet & Happy Life】Our filter comes with a shock-absorbing fixed knob to keep the pipe vertical and stable, so the noise from the pipe hitting the tank can be avoided, making it much quieter. You can put the fish tank anywhere you want, even in your bedroom. Always feel delighted and relaxed when keeping fish!
- 【Waterfall Design, Adjustable Flow & Increase Oxygen】Different kinds of fish need different intensities of water flow. Just toggle the adjustment switch to easily choose the right water flow. The small waterfall also produces more oxygen. It saves you the money for another oxygen bar. It's no longer a dream to build a little sea world in your own house.
- 【90 Days Return Policy & 1 Year Quality Services】LAQUAL is committed to providing our customers with exceptional products & services. We offer a 90-day return policy and a 1-year quality service.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you sell just the motor**
A: Hi Dear,
We only sell the aquarium filter.
Thank you

**Q: What is the max flow rate in gallons/hr GPH or liters/hr?**
A: It’s junk

**Q: How do I get the surface skimmer to spin? Mine is just staying in one place.**
A: As far as I know the skimmer does not spin. It may bob up and down depending on the water level but no spinning. It’s purpose is to skim the water from the top of the tank.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfied
*by I***. on May 26, 2025*

The media could not be loaded. I’m using this for my small 20 cube tank. In the tank, I have live plants, soil, and dragon rocks. Planning to get a betta fish soon. It’s made of plastic. I used my own filter media and cut the sponge to fit in (3rd picture). When I saw many negative reviews, I noticed they didn’t follow the directions such as minimum water level, etc. You also need to fill the filter with water before plugging in. It’s working perfectly as expected. The filter doesn’t make a sound after properly starting. It’s cheap too! If it’s broken, I will buy the same product. In the picture, I intensionally blocked the outlet with my plant hanger to slow down the water flow, but you can also adjust it without doing so.I didn’t use the skimmer because my new betta doesn’t seem like it. Without the skimmer and blocked water flow, he swims peacefully and doesn’t swish due to water flowUpdate after 1 week of use:Still five stars. I didn’t use the skimmer at the first time, but noticed there is some oily surface. Added skimmer, and it works fine. Attached the video for sucking up the floating plants. It removed the oils on the surface and my betta swims ok.

### ⭐ Do not buy
*by L***Y on July 12, 2025*

Tried everything to get it to work, it’s just not made properly. I have 10-15 tanks and filters through the years and this is junk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice
*by G***M on May 17, 2025*

I’ve had this for some time now and it’s been very functional. I recommend removing the sponge at the bottom in order to pick up bigger bits of debris. It’s amazingly silent, and the length is very customizable. Very nice value.
