There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I love the look of this filter. It serves its purpose and helps keep the tank clean. It is definitely larger than I expected the tank it is in currently is a 29 gallon tank and it fits great. It started off in a standard size tank which was a little tight. Since our turtle friends are babies it was not much of an issue however of you had bigger friends it might be beneficial in a larger tank. It is meant for shallower water it when has a min and max fill line which I am a little over. Intentionally because these turtles are a little on the smaller end and if the water level is too low the "water current" was a little much for them. They are able to climb up the rock face despite their size and bask on top happily and they are a good distance away from the light where I don't have to worry about them getting burned.
Filters are cheap to replace!
Noise, like a small water feature nothing obnoxious. However if you don't find a babbling brook, pond relaxing you might not want it in your bedroom.

1. It's a lot bigger than I expected. We have a 10 gal tank and it takes up about 1/3 of it, but I was able to arrange some other rocks and logs to make a nice habitat for him and he seems quite happy.
2. Set up was pretty easy and came with clear instructions.
3. Makes a nice water trickling sound but don't hear the sound of the pump at all.
4. Turtles are pretty messy animals I think so I'm finding i have to rinse out my filter every couple of days, if I wait a week it will get clogged. But it's very easy to rinse out, just pull it the filters and rinse then it with the sprayer in your sink. If the water isn't trickling enough you may have to pull the actual pump out and wipe it off, cuz slime and yuck can get stuck on it, but it's all pretty easy to clean and get to.
Overall I'm very happy with this filter it keeps the water nice and clear and it's a nice natural addition to a habitat
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024
I should begin by explaining that I have a crab tank, half land and half water. This filter sits in the water. The crabs absolutely love it, either climbing up to the top to look around or sitting in the falling water. This alone justifies the purchase for me, though it may not for some.
The filter itself is not up to par. It creates very little flow so I had issues with bacteria buildup in the sand. Eventually I put a Hagen mini filter in the tank next to the waterfall to supplement the filtration and flow, which solved the problem. Now I don't bother putting filters in the waterfall, so it just serves as a decoration while the Hagen is the filter.
This would be my recommendation to anyone interested in the product. It works, is a peaceful and soothing sight, and animals love it. However it doesn't filter very well even for crabs, and I can't imagine it would handle a turtle's bioload very well at all. It is kind of annoying to set up but anyone used to running aquariums or terrariums should be no stranger to such things.
Overall if you have the desire for a waterfall in your tank, this is one of the few options out there and it works fine. Just be aware that you probably will not get sufficient filtration from this.
