Aquarium Power Filter in-Tank Ultra Silent Small Fish Tank Filter 3W for Aquarium 1 to 10 Gallon Tank, 1 Yr Warranty

Purchased to supplement the filtration on my 10-gallon, planted, Fluval Flex, betta tank, and it does the job magnificently! Accepts my cut to size filter media as well, is very quiet and the water outflow rate is not too severe as to disturb the betta.

Despite all the negative reviews I’ve seen for this product i absolutely love it the flow isn’t too strong and that’s perfect for my betta ide just recommend to add some filter floss into the front of it to stop the fish from swimming inside it (learned the hard way but the fish is completely fine and still alive) i personally submerge this filter down into my tank tho so maybe that’s why it’s working differently for me but i absolutely love this filter and i personally would highly recommend it as I’ve now purchased this twice and im about to buy another for my 20 gallon to give it a little extra flow

I bought this for a 1.5 gallon tank. Installed, ran it for a week, added conditioner to the water and everything appeared to be working great. The water was clean, the pump was running quietly and had a pretty good suction for its size. Then I added 5 small blue velvet shrimp to the tank. Very small, couldnt even see their waste yet and they had live plants to feed on. Its been 6 days now and 4 of the 5 shrimp have died, the water is murky with a green tinge and there are black and brown bacterial or fungal blooms popping up here and there. The first shrimp died after 3 days, it took no time at all for the tank to begin to gunk up. I have never seen his before, but upon removing the pump it is filled with sludge and god knows what else. I should also note that the filters themselves dont seat very well inside the pump, its practically free-floating in there. So this thing is going in the trash and I will stick with weekly partial water changes, maybe the last shrimp will survive. DO NOT BUY! Id also like to add that the shrimp are very strong swimmers but its lucky they dont have fins, otherwise Im sure they wouldve gotten stuck inside the vents right away. IF this thing worked it would be terrible for betas with long flowing fins. Take my advice and just flush 9.99 down your toilet to equal the value of the pump + 38.99 for the shrimp in my case. I have kept these shrimp before and they are hardy as hell and not easy to kill. But this water is absolutely disgusting after only 6 days.....

The media could not be loaded. It’s super silent and it seems to be working. We are getting the table ready for the fish but I can tell that the water has gotten for clear since we put in the filter. BTW This is a 10 gallon tank.

Very nice. Works great.

I bought this about 2 months ago now. As others have mentioned, the design is flawed and lets both filtered and unfiltered water through. That said, with some slight modifications it’s much better. I simply bought an aquarium sponge and cut it to size to cover the output. As an added my betta swam into it repeatedly, and the sponge stopped him from doing that.Why wouldn’t I just return it instead of buying and modifying a sponge to fit? This sucker is QUIET. I have my tank literally right next to my bed and it’s not a bother at all. I tried several whisper brand filters that were louder (although admittedly if I didn’t have the tank right next to my bed they would have been fine.)Some have mentioned noise. I noticed that when the unit was not filled with water that it was louder. So I can’t say how it would work in a turtle set up or similar. It seems to have actually gotten more quiet over time and is now practically silent in my 10 gallon.In my previous 5 gallon it did an okay job of filtering, but the current was a bit on the strong side. The flow is not adjustable. However in a 10 gallon with the sponge insert the current is low, but circulating, and since adding the sponge the filtration is great.I really wish it wasn’t white, as it does look as others have mentioned, cheap. I have a white tank I’ll be gifting out that I will pair it with, as it will match well. But with my current 10 (which has a black background which I love the look of) it’s really not aesthetically pleasing.All in all this filter is fine for the price, but if you don’t want your fish swimming into it like salmon up a river then it will require modification.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Worked great! If I ever have a small tank again will order another

Amazing! Quiet and easy to clean. supports a 5.5 gallon tank.
