AquaClear 110 Power Filter, Fish Tank Filter for 60- to 110-Gallon Aquariums

I got into the aquarium scene about four years ago with a couple small 10 gallon tanks and then about 2 1/2 years ago I upgraded to a 75 gallon tank. I got a deal on a floor model tank from PetSmart that came with everything I needed including the filter. That filter was a Marineland Emperor 400. I had that filter for about one year and was never really happy with it. It did not oxygenate the water well and was very noisy even after I rigged some styrofoam up to keep it from vibrating against the glass. I cleaned the impeller and other parts religiously and made sure there was no buildup around any moving parts and despite all my efforts this filter broke in less than a year. After doing some research and talking with some friends I decided to purchase the Aqua Clear 110. Since I ordered it on Amazon I was without a filter for about a week and my water was kind of dirty when I finally got it. It had my water crystal clear within 8 hours and was a heck of a lot quieter than my Marineland filter. The noise factor was a concern after reading some of the other reviews because my tank is in our living room but it turned out to be much quieter than the Marineland. The other great feature to this filter is that each piece of the filter can be removed and replaced individually. With some of the other filters I looked at this was not the case which meant that when one thing broke the entire filter system had to be replaced. With this filter system everything is removable and replaceable individually so you don't have to spend close to $100.00 just for one bad piece. This was a big selling feature for me when buying this filter system. Also, another neat feature about this filter is the adjustable water pressure. With this system you can adjust the amount of water returned to your tank. Since this is for larger tanks it moves a lot of water no matter what but since I have the smallest tank for this system's capabilities I was able to decrease the amount of water flow so my fish weren't fighting the filter's deluge of water if left on full flow. This also was a nice selling feature since I do have some smaller fish in my tank. Finally, the three filtration products are easily installed and replaced and all do their jobs very very well and you can find them at most major pet stores or fish supply stores. In short I would recommend this filter system to anyone with a 75 - 110 gallon tank.

El mejor filtro de cascada. Es el 5o que pido

I love these filters for all my different size tanks. You never have to replace the sponge, it’s good forever. I like it can self regulate back if the power goes off and back on again. It’s quiet and durable. I’ve tried others and there’s no comparison.

Used to replace another aging popular brand filter for a 55 gallon planted tank with sand substrate. This one came in slightly cheaper and had great reviews. I was not satisfied with certain features failing on the competitor so I wanted to shop around. Pros: -Easy to clean filter. Has a large block sponge that is fairly easy to remove and rinse in a bucket. -Inlet tubes detach and reattach fairly easy for cleaning without removing the whole unit. -Noise level is better than previous filter but not whisper quiet, may depend if material gets stuck in the impeller. -Has done a fantastic job keeping the water clear after maintenance of the sponge filter. I only use the sponge provided and bio balls (small bag included + my own previous transfer). I may add finer floss in the future. The filter materials box is a good size for this unit. Cons: None so far. A few issues I ran into: -I had an issue with the impeller not running after a week of use but it may have been due to material clogged in the impeller shaft. I thought it was defective at first but after cleaning and running for a day it returned to normal function and noise levels. -Due to having a planted tank I find I get a lot of plant materials stuck in the intake tubes. Other reviewers mention putting mesh bags of some kind around the intake for easier cleaning. I think this just shows the filter is doing a fantastic job picking up floating junk. If you are shopping for a hang on back filter I would recommend this one.
