Clean, clean, clean!
When I had just this one in the tank I was running into issues with it not being strong enough( it's in a 20 gallon) but its also working for two turtles. There was also like this mold buildup problem happening in the filter and on the lid, I think it's because I had the heater up to high. I lowered the temp and added a second filter and haven't had a run in with the mold 🤞 it sounds really nice on its own but the other filter makes it so loud. It's a beautiful structure too. It's kind of hard to clean though there is just some places I can't reach and I use baby bottle cleaners and toothbrushes. I don't really know what would reach the bottom to get off the grime. It's still a great filter. I'm just working it to death. It keeps the tank clean so I'm happy.

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023
Expensive but really worth it.

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.

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024
I bought this for some small native stream fish that don’t need a lot of height. Works great so far in providing movement on top of the water with out being really noisy. Plus adds to more closely resembling their real habitat that is rocky.
