Aqueon 06079 QuietFlow 55/75 Power Filter, 400-GPH

Day one: took it out of box, felt very light and cheaply made. Got it all together, installed it on my 30 gallon hexagon tank and filled it. Noticed it was kinda loud, so I made sure to top it up. It's QUIET. I mean, it's honestly the quietest filter I've ever used now. Water current looks strong too. Hopefully it stays this quiet and works well!

Es una excelente bomba, de gran capacidad, mucho mejor precio que en otros establecimientos reconocidos para mascotas, muy bueno, excelente calidad

Es bueno el producto

Si funciono bien, aunque tuve que modificar el marco de la pecera, ya que el espacio que tenia el filtro era muy pequeño y no entraba en la pared de la pecera. Lo bueno es que el marco es de aluminio y pude hacer un doblez para que pudiera entrar. Y esta información no viene en el filtro (dimensiones) para que hubiera asegurado la correcta instalación del filtro.

No sirve no lo compren , dejo de funcionar a la semana

El filtro es silencioso y efectivo, pero no puedes agregarle carga biológica y los cartuchos siempre traen carbón activado, por lo que considero que es un filtro para principiantes

Pues desde que lo instalé no he tenido problema, y el agua se mantiene en mejor estado.

en mi experienci con otras marcas de filtros externos, las hai mas silenciosas ya que no es precisamente un flujo cilenciosoel motor hace ruido y las partes no son muy recistentes, la luz led no tiene sentido pero esta bonita

I bought this three days ago, and I have to say that it is the best filter I've had so far. I have two goldfish (super messy and love to dirty up my tank) that I have had for over a year and half and I went through three different filters already that either broke, were too loud or not efficient. I'm no expert on fish keeping but I care about the well being of my two goldfish and I can tell that not only the water is super clear, but my fish are much more active and exploring their tank, swimming around. Great filter and I 100% recommend.

I actually bought this filter in the used/refurbish section on Amazon after months of searching for the right filter for my new aquarium, 10 gallon tank. Despite I bought it used this filter work like a charm! Here is a mini breakdown:Performance: Powerful. The pump was so strong that I ended up making a baffled to restrict some of the water flow but even then the water can be seen rippling through the surface. Not only is the pump strong but it is quiet as well, really live up to its name "QuietFlow". Occasionally some small water dripping and humming from the motor can be heard but you have to be right in front of the tank to notice it. This filter is also self priming, which mean that you do not have to pour water in the filter to get the filter to work and move the water flow. I found this a bonus, since I always unpluged my filter to do water changes. And every time without a failure when I plug it back in, the filter just automatically do its job and within seconds, water is already pouring out and silently too!Design: Bulky but functional. Its looks a bit big but will fit quiet nicely on the glass panel without any falling or sliding problem. If you have a 10 gallon tank with a standard hood, the 20 or 10 version will fit on the tank with the hood on just fine as well. The intake tube is adjustable meaning you can slide it up/down. Inside the filter there is some room for additional filter medias beside the one it originally come with. There is also 2 plastic meshes that help with aerating the water (you can see it in the picture, it is the blue thing) and store the beneficial bacteria. There is also a resting place on the side of the filter for the cord so it wont be hanging out unnecessary in your tank. Additionally, all parts on the filter including the propeller, and intake tube can be taken out and clean or wash if necessary.Con: Unfortunately with everything there has to be a drawback. The problem however, are really small and aren't really consider much of a nuisance. I found that the cover/cap of the filter do shake sometimes, especially when you open it and don't close it properly. This created a very loud rattling noise, which can be easily fix by closing it properly or use a rubber band to bind it securely down. Another thing was since the pump is so strong, it would be nice to have an adjustable option to restrict the water flow, but sadly there is none.A tip: If you decided to have live plants in your aquarium that have spiky leaves, especially the Hornwort, the falling leaves can get suck up by the filter and create a blockage overtime. So monitor this.Overall I have had this filter for over 3 months now and it is still going strong and keeping my aquarium super clean without any problem. I couldn't be happier with this filter.

I inherited one of these filters used from a friend, and I have been using it nonstop ever since. I run some more expensive filters on my other tanks, such as the Fluval 306 canister filter, Marineland Penguin series, Tetra Whisper and Penn-Plax Cascade. I can honestly say that this Aqueon filter is one of the best filters I have, and if I ever have to replace one of my other HOB filters, there is a good chance I would get one of the Aqueon filters to do so.Let us first make clear that any HOB filter will require a minor investment in filter cartridges. I have run this particular filter on a tank with gouramis, and currently on a tank with neon tetras and albino corys. How do I make my cartridges last so long? Well, I have one of these attached to the intake: This prevents too much debris from being sucked into the filter while increasing the biological filtration, the most important stage in filtration, as any good aquariust knows. These Fluval sponges fit perfectly and in no way inhibit the flow. They have saved me a lot of money on cartridges, and when they get dirty, I just rinse them in some aquarium water and put them back on. My flower shrimp also love to eat particles of food from the sponge!As for being quiet, mine runs silently. I never hear this filter running. If you get one that makes a lot of noise, please see about getting a replacement as I have never had this problem, and as I said, this is a pre-owned filter.As for being reliable, because of its design, this filter starts right up after a power outage or water change. No priming for this filter! This is the main reason that I would replace one of my other HOB filters with one of these. The Marineland filters require priming, the Tetra Whisper filters are meant to be self-priming, but can be somewhat unreliable. My Aqueon filter has always started up again after being turned off. This is great peace of mind, especially when I am away from home for a few days.As for being effective, this filter holds its own against its competitors. True, it is not an Aquaclear, but it is just as good as any filter using a standard carbon cartridge. Its bio-filtration may not be the best, but this only becomes an issue when you have to replace the cartridge, and if you are using a sponge pre-filter as I recommend above, you should not have a problem with your tank cycling after a cartridge change.Now, let me make a few points:1. This particular filter should NOT be used for goldfish. This model is designed for ten gallons or less, and a ten gallon tank is not appropriate for a goldfish. Besides, goldies create so much waste that they require at least TWICE the recommended filtration. For example, on my 75 gallon goldfish tank, I run a canister recommended for 70 gallons, a HOB recommended for 70 gallons, and 2 Hydro Sponge filters recommended for 40 gallons each. Over-filtration? Maybe, but goldies don't mind the current, and it keeps my water clean. In addition, even the smallest goldfish will grow too large for a ten gallon tank, and if the fish itself doesn't grow, its organs will, and it will eventually die a painful death. I did once put a small common goldfish into a ten gallon hospital tank temporarily, but I did so with plenty of filtration. This Aqueon QuietFlow 10 is not enough for any kind of goldfish in any tank whatsoever.2. This filter should NOT, in my opinion, be used for any Betta. It doesn't create a super-strong current, but it is still too strong for a fish who prefers still water. I have found that a Hydro Sponge filter powered by an air pump is all you need to filter a tank for one Betta. I have a male crowntail Betta in a ten gallon tank, and I do just this. I also have a female Betta in a five gallon tank, and I use a Whisper internal filter set on its lowest setting, and this seems to work as well. The Aqueon filter is NOT appropriate for a Betta.3. If you overload your tank, you need more filtration, and you will have to change your cartridge more. Research and learn what kind and how many fish can go into a ten gallon tank, and don't exceed this amount. It's a bad idea for everyone involved, especially the fish.In conclusion, this filter is economical, silent, reliable, and well-designed. It suffers only from a somewhat inferior system for bio-filtration which can easily be remedied by the addition of an inexpensive sponge pre-filter. This would be a great filter for beginners because of its simple design, and also a great choice for those of us with more experience who are on a budget or for whom it is impractical to run a canister filter.UPDATE:Hey, everybody! I was browsing through some filters looking to add additional filtration to a 40 gallon tank I have in my bedroom, when I stumbled across this review I wrote on December 19, 2011. It is now January 23, 2014, and guess which filter is still running, now on my gourami tank? This old Aqueon! My gouramis are still as alive and healthy as ever -- never been sick. I did add a third gourami to my tank -- another female -- because the male was getting a little crazy with the one female I had. Sadly, I lost my flower shrimp, though.I've also made one adjustment to this filter. I didn't see any point in keeping carbon in a filter for gouramis, so I filled it with loose bio media instead. I never buy filter cartridges for this tank any more. I just rinse the bio media in aquarium water once every few months, and I'm set.After all this time, I couldn't be happier with this filter.

Product may very well be a great filter, but it's voltage is not disclosed in descriptions or specs at the item details. This is not usable outside of it designated market which is probably USA.
