Aquarium Filter for 40-150 Gal. Tank Crystal 300GPH Biochemical Filtration Powerful Pump Submersible Internal Fish Tank Filters Large Tank Pond Clear Wavemaker Air Supply 4 in 1

After 15 years, my Eheim 2217 went down. While waiting for my replacement Eheim to be restocked, I purchased this Tararium filter just as a stand-by. What a surprise to see the strength of the motor and the effectiveness of the filter for such an inexpensive price. The fish have no problem with the focused jet and the noise level is manageable. Let's hope it can give me half of the life span as my Eheim has.

It works awesome. Too awesome for my 40 gallon pond. The product listing says 40-150 gallon. It’s waaaay to powerful for anything under 75 gallons. The water movement is too great for the fish and they suffer as a result. This unit needs a ton of water space then add lots of decora or rocks situated in house shapes to make hidey holes the fish can go in when they need a break.The jet is powerful and it moves the water too well. The problem is you can only turn the flow down to a set amount which was still too much for my pond. It’s really perfect for an extra large setup though and I can totally recommend it for that.The filters are mega and the filtration system kicks major butt. It has two monster filters that easy to remove, wash clean and put back in.It is a really great thing…..for a large set up only. In my case, I have to return it but as a lifelong fish tank owner, I can say it’s a fantastic product.So winner winner chicken dinner if you have a very large setup and need a system to accommodate it.For smaller setups, keep looking.

I have had a 100 gallon aquarium for last 16 years. I have gone through about 6-7 filters due to hard water. This is the easiest filter to set up and clean out. No buying expensive replacement filter. Clean out takes 5 minutes in the sink. It adds a lot of air to the water and does a good job cleaning up. I have had it in for about a month now and love it.Caution- don’t buy too big for you tank. It does have a powerful jet to move a lot of water. Too much pressure in a small area can over stress your fish. Place it to one side of your tank so there are areas that don’t have strong currents to give fish a break and/or add areas(coves, plants, coral, decorations, for the fish to get out of the current.2 month update- the suction cups suck and the filter continues to falls off and blow rocks and plants everywhere. Seems like it has lost power already and not picking up as well. We will see how long it lasts

My marineland canister filter started leaking pretty bad after 10 years. I literally bought the cheapest filter I saw that was good enough for my 55 gallon tank since I'm on unpaid maternity leave. All I can say is wow! I am very impressed with it and I'm glad I didn't spend the money on another canister filter. It definitely has power, and is working great. It's strong enough, plus more for my 55 gallon tank. It may be a bit much for a 40 gallon. But I wouldn't hesitate to put it in a larger tank. It's perfect for me. Added bonuses. If the power goes out I don't have to worry about a canister filter back flowing since it's all in the tank. 2nd bonus, I gained space on the outside of the tank because everything is in the tank.3rd my fish are more active. I believe it to be due to the extra water flow and oxygen in the water. 4 it's affordable. I'm going to get a 2nd to do my other 55 gallon with one.Also, it's just plug in and go.

This is our 3rd one for another tank...Since buying the 1st one for our turtle tank. We decided to put these in all of our aquariums the water stays crystal clear, easy to clean, is some what a little loud but we have gotten use to..highly recommend..

The media could not be loaded. So first of all, when I plugged this in, the force with which it filtered the water was enough to knock it off the wall even with all three suction cups in place. This had as much to do with the power of the pump as it did with the terrible suction cup placement, as the cups only anchor the pump, but not the filter itself. This caused the outflow tube to function as something of a jet engine, sending the whole apparatus launching into the aquarium, secured in place only by the power cord.Even closing the air valve to its lowest flow rate, this thing is WAY too powerful. The listing has it at 40 to 150 gallons. My aquarium is 75 gallons, and even submersed fully in the water, the force on this thing was so high that water coming out of the pump was spraying out aquarium and splashing on my walls.While frantically trying to remove this from my tank, the air tube fell into the tank, resulting in a "water in, water out" jet action that caused the whole filter part of the apparatus to spin violently in circles and wrap the air tube around itself.Finally, as I was removing this, the filter portion came detached, leaving the pump...gear?...exposed. This was also spinning aggressively as I hadn't yet unplugged the device. This in turn caused some pieces of the pump to fall apart in my fish tank, where they will remain until I can fish them out. And yes, I should have unplugged the pump first, but honestly the thing came apart so easily, and the pump is so aggressive, that I would be concerned that the filter could come off on its own anyway under normal operation, exposing the death gear to the fish in the tank.Oh, also, the instruction sheet is bad, even for translated instructions.Attaching some photos and videos...ignore the laughter and commentary.0/10 would not recommend for keeping fish tank clean and health, but 10/10 provided some great slapstick comedy.

The filter did its job, but the noise level is far above any I’ve ever used. I’m not picky, but I did have to give up on this filter due to the noise. My husband and I had to crank the TV to be able to hear.
