Our in-depth look

Who it's for

10–30 gallon tanks that need stronger or more customisable filtration than a kit filter.

Who should skip it

Tanks with lids that can't be cut to fit a hang-on filter.

Tips

Fill the filter box with tank water before switching it on. Rinse the media in old tank water during water changes to protect the bacteria.

Questions owners ask

How often should I clean it?

Rinse the foam every few weeks in tank water; don't clean everything at once.

Is it noisy?

It's quiet once primed; keep the water level high so it doesn't splash.
