## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this filter have a flow adjustment?**
A: It does but it's an extremely minimal change in the flow, unless I got a defective one. If you've only got one filter on your tank, don't use this one.

**Q: Is there any type of "filter extender?" I need it to reach farther now.**
A: Not that I know of.  But, I bet you can go to your local hardware or builder store and find vinyl tubing that has a diameter that would snuggly fit over the end of the tube.  Then you can make it how ever long you need and cut it to size.  Bring the filter tube into the store and test it out on different sizes.  I'm sure something will fit on it.

**Q: I need an extension on the water intake, what is the longest length I can add to this filter?**
A: I was concerned also when i realized how short the tube was, but can say after a years use that this is one of the best filters I've ever used in my 35 gal tank.

**Q: Can I use this for a saltwater tank**
A: Hey Daniel, 

Thanks for your question. Yes, you can use this filter for a saltwater tank.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Penn Plax Cascade Hang-on Aquarium Filter Review
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 20 January 2020*

The story of my review may be like a few others . I ordered the first Penn Plax Cascade Aquarium and it arrived on time and by appearance not damaged. Putting it together was easy. I put it in my 20gal fish tank. I plugged it in and the motor and impeller started up and it started to work just fine. I then checked on it about an hour later and the motor was humming and the impeller had stopped. I took it out and checked the directions and all was correct. I put in back into the tank and it ran for about a minute and then the impeller stopped working. I tried to hand turn the impeller by hand but it would not work. While the unit worked initially it seemed to be doing a good job and the motor was very quiet. So I put in a return request. I received a response within a few hours. I returned the unit and within 3 days my replacement came. I put it together and plugged it in and tested it in my sink. It worked just fine. I then put it into the tank. Again it worked fine. I checked on it in an hour and it was working perfectly. I have now had it 2 weeks and I love it. No problems, motor quit and it does a good job to keep the water clean. I like the option of being able to adjust the water flow. I would highly recommend this product. My only advice is that after you put it together test it first before putting it into your fish tank. I was impressed with Amazon's return policy. I have been buying from Amazon for more then 6 years and purchased almost 80 items, this was only the 2nd time I had to return an item. I gave it 5 stars because not matter what the item is or where you purchased it you will get lemon from time to time. In the end the new returned item worked great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works amazing
*by  on Reviewed in Canada 5 June 2020*

Really nice, filters the water really well and really quiet at that

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, standard filter
*by  on Reviewed in South Africa 18 September 2025*

Nice and quiet, although outlet not as adjustable as advertised. The intake should be fully submerged, or the motor becomes damaged and sounds awful
