Turtle filter

I've had this filter for a couple years now and it works like a charm! I don't use the suggested filter and media for it, I made it my own by putting a filter foam on the inside, followed by filter media and I put a carbon pouch on top and it cleans my water so well! Even when you use this filter with the media it comes with it works super well. I have it in my frog tank and it does an amazing job of really sifting out all the gunk. It's a perfect size for a small tank or even a larger one with less water. The only problem I have is a suction cups broke and I had to like ductape the hole off and I only have a single suction cup left but I'm working on fixing it lol. It's lasted me this long I ain't giving it up!! I reccomend this to anyone, you really can't beat it for the price.

I really like this filter. It is quiet, since the pump is under water instead of sitting on the outside of the tank. My old filter, which sat on the outside of the tank had a tube to bring the water up out of the tank and into the filter. The tube got clogged all the time with debris and the filter would stop running. This submersible filter sits right in the tank, so no tubes to clog. It has good suction and puts out a good flow of water. The filter pump stopped working after several months. I contacted the seller and they are shipping me a new pump from China free of charge. Responsive seller, good customer service.

Absolutely terrible! Does not work.. it lasted less than 10 minutes before it shorted out, taking out my string lights also. Had to reset the breaker. Good thing i had no pets in the tank or they wouldve been electrocuted. After is shorted out it stopped working. 15 minutes after opening i started my refund. Wish i could give 0 stars

This filter for the price has actually become one of my favorites over an expensive name brand most people use. It runs great. The pump attached to the bottom, pumps a high rate of water which is excellent for tanks with turtles and so forth. It is actally very quite. If it wasn't for the waterfall sound itself I wouldnt know it was running. The water flow is so smooth the African Side Neck turtle in the tank loves swimming under it. The pump is removable from the filter so you can clean the impelle if need be. This is a big plus with because sometimes debris can get into the pump around the impeller and cause it to lock up then burn out. The only flaw that I truly found with this was the hanging clip isn't strong enough and snaps off. However there are 2 large suction cups that hold up the filter with no problems. I just prefer the clip as a backup in case the suction cups let go. Pros: Quite, Powerful, easy to clean and maintain Cons: Haging clip is not functional for the weight of filter once water starts pumping through it. I would recommend this pump for a turtle tank if you don't want to buy a 60.00 or more name brand one.

We bought this filter almost exactly 4 months ago for a turtle tank. I have regularly cleaned the tank and changed/cleaned the internal filters, maintained appropriate water levels per the manufacturer instructions, etc. The entire product worked great - until it stopped working. At almost exactly 4 months the entire product just shut off all together and will not suction at all anymore. I have taken it all apart and cleaned it extra well just in case - to no avail. When plugged in, it barely hums and then does absolutely nothing. It looks like the seller has a 90 day replacement policy, and of course, we are just outside that window. I’m super disappointed - will not purchase again.

Bought my grandson an aquatic turtle not realizing how high maintenance they really are. Our biggest hurdle was keeping his water clean. I bought 3 different types of pumps, all rated for my 20 gallon aquarium. A submersible, a top mount and a inside mount. The pumps can be the most expensive part of the setup, and I paid top dollar. No matter what it was just a matter of time before his water was a thick, smelly dark brown. No matter how much I cleaned the aquarium or the pump, it inevetiably ended up swampish. Then I took a chance on this one. I was tired of paying $60+ for a pump and thought what do I have to lose? WINNER! This pump does a great job of keeping the water as clear as possible. No matter what his water will be discolored, but at least we can see the turtle in the water with this pump. It really doesn't flow fast, but that's good for noise. You can hardly hear this one running. I did add the extra filter materials and that does seem to help. So, I highly recommend trying this pump before splurging on an $60+ one.

When it comes to my turtles I don't go cheap on anything. I have a large aquarium that I have repeatedly raised Three Stripe Mud Turtles from hatchlings to adult where I let them go. I had a single youth in the aquarium for a long time. yes he was spoiled. Then a neighbor discovered soft shell hatchlings in her porch. She brought me 6 in total out of fear local birds would eat them or possibly her dog would kill them while attempting to play. I set up the aquarium for them and fell in love with them. They are exceptionally cute as 'kids'. My purchase history shows I bought the filter in 2019. I cleaned and maintained it and then the impeller began to lock up. I'd lift the tube, drop it down and it usually would run for a few hours and then lock up again. I took it out, cleaned it and made certain the impeller could turn freely. IT continually locks up now. In fact it locks up more than it runs. When it is locked up it makes a tremendous growling noise. I cleaned and checked the cavity where the magnet armature sits, cleaned the impeller, armature and everything else I could clean. Now it won't spin for more then a few minutes. My last filter worked great for many years then I lost a small part while cleaning it and had to replace the entire thing. This until has a parts list so if I were to loose a part I could buy a new one for it but it didn't get that far. I'm unhappy with it since I spend a lot of time cleaning it or moving the tube to try to get it to move. I am now shopping for a new one and here is where I saw that I had bought this one and when. Not again. No way.

I was looking for an inexpensive low flow filter to add on to my 45 gallon aquarium. I was needing something with a space for some small bio balls to help out with beneficial bacteria. For the price, this is a great little filter! Its quiet pump is rated at 150 GPH, came with a strainer for the intake and a sponge cover for the strainer. It has two suction cups and a clip that adjusts to fit different tank glass widths and will also fit over your standard pet store tanks with the plastic rims and bracing, so I haven’t had any problems with it coming unattached. It also came with 4 small black bio balls and a carbon filled cartridge, which I scrapped for the extra room to add more bio balls. So far, I’ve been very happy with the results I’m getting!

Pues lo malo es que si no limpias la pecera después de alimentar, se va tapando, yo lo uso con tortuga, pero es el mejor de los que he comprado y pues ahí va ...

Las instrucciones no son claras y no pudimos instalarlo bien. No sabemos si el producto llegó dañado o está mal diseñado porque no podemos colocar bien la esponja que ayudará a limpiar y filtrar todo. Tampoco se queda fija la tapa.
