A hang-on filter wasn't enough to support my 50gal tank, so I bought this filter to support water circulation. It's been a life saver, and I no longer have to do one (or more) water change every week. I don't know how well this filter works as a standalone device, but it definitely works wonders with a companion.My one qualm with this product is that it is impossible for me to take it apart without help from someone else. This filter is NOT built with smaller hands in mind.

Let's start this very simple.This is a top tier filter for 40 dollars ,heck, I'd pay 60 on a bad day. Out of the box it is quiet and effective. Very easy to clean once it's disassembled.After 5 years: it opens easier for sure.I've recommended this filter to everyone I know. I came back to this page to purchase two new ones. Not because my original quit functioning but because it's a little loud after being in a sand/silt bottom tank for 5 years. I will retire this one to my plant tank as it is still a great filter but would be horribly loud for a pet to live next to.More details about it's life:I've abused this filter. It's been overloaded, underwatered, at one point my tank cracked and it ran dry for 3 days while I was on vacation. (one year in) I only ran the carbon portion for about a year, it was extremely difficult to open and refill. Happy to say the filter works great without it. The internal construction is simple and easy to clean making upkeep a dream, just pop the head off and fill your sink with water. Turn the filter on and swish it around.At one point I used the top portion as a pump to do water changes. Just fit some clear tubing on and into a bucket. It is very versatile even in ways it wasn't meant to be.This filter has had a long long life and has proven to be probably the most durable thing I've ever bought. Happy retirement little guy.

Updated Aug 2021I’ve learned how to maneuver the canister opening so it’s not impossible to open anymore. It’s a learning curve but once you’ve done it a few times you’ll get the hang of it. It’s still crazy that it’s so difficult but I understand because turtles are exploring and could bump it open.My water is clear now, always. I had to allow it time to correct itself. I ended up keeping both filters and I’m glad I did.I’m satisfied in the long run. I changed to 5 stars. It’s quiet and keeps the water clean. And it’s easy to clean all the parts and put it back together. The parts are affordable and easy to get.————-First impression Spring 2021This filter was one of the recommended and I’m not impressed. My turtle tank isn’t crystal clear. I have a 29 gallon and I thought it could handle it. It is quiet though. The price was right too. Also shipping was quick. But overall I am not happy and will keep looking for a better option for us. I bought two and had to send one back. It was impossible to open to rinse the parts for the initial use. So for my 2nd tank, I’ll find a different filter. I know turtles are messy but I still like to give them crystal clear water. This is about 85% to 90 % clear . This picture is day 1 of fresh cleaning and it goes down hill from here. I feed in water and it’s a wrap. It instantly gets cloudy. It didn’t do this with my Tetra filter.

Perfect. Used for a terrapin.. much better than leading market brand.. extreemly clear water.. infact after a couple of months of stirring the gravel up... this has completely cleared the tank..... makes previous very expensive filter look very poor... very pleased
