“One of the best hang on back filters on the market. Filter media tray is extremely well built with a lot of space for any type of media. The lid acts as a drip tray when doing maintenance which you may think you won't use but trust me, its extremely useful. Added filter floss ontop of the blue sponge and below the bio media it comes with and i put sponge at the intake to shrimp proof it.
The only con is the last point but its a very specific use case. Its hard to shrimp proof as it isn't the usual tube that hob filters have. It has 2 intakes as well as an opening down the very bottom. The slight buzzing noise is also a letdown for a filter of this price especially when using such a high quality motor from a reputable motor brand. But i heard that this goes away when more biofilm builds on the impeller”

“This is a great filter system that only took a couple of hours to make a noticeable difference to the clarity of the water in my cichlid tank. The lift out filter basket makes maintenance super easy. I did need to add an extra layer of foam to the original included one as my cichlids are large sludge producers.”
