  • Cleaning is important
Size: 5 to 15 Gallon
I’ve used this particular aquarium filter for years and when it stopped working, I bought another to replace it. This next one didn’t last very long at all. Thinking I had just received a ‘lemon’, I ordered another. Again, it worked great at first, but only worked for a couple of months before the water flow was almost nonexistent. I followed the instructions and cleaned the impeller. Still, nothing. I decided that I had to be missing something so I began examining the impeller housing a little more closely. I found that not only does the impeller area collect impurities, but the tube area above the impeller does also. There are slits in the plastic tube above the impeller housing where things can collect and block the flow of water. After removing this blockage, the filter worked like new! So, the problem really isn’t with the filter. The problem is that the instructions only go so far as to tell you to clean the impeller, but not the area above it. As a side note…I use polyester fiberfill in a small corner filter and it was those tiny fibers that I found to be wrapped up in the impeller and also blocking the slits. It’s a great filter if cleaned properly! ... show more

  • Works well until
Size: New - 10 to 20 Gallon
I bought this in September 2022. This filter cut down the noise level immediately! And filtering is amazing! Works fast and is effective. I do have to change the filter every 2 weeks and clean my tank once a month but that's less frequent than before. Fast forward to 4/2023. I'm doing my usual monthly cleaning and the filter stopped working. I changed the filter, power source, water level is met but the motor did not turn on. I really like this filter. It did everything as expected. It is a little bulky for my tank. Searching for a new silent filter system. ... show more

  • Very disappointed in noise level
Size: 30 to 60 Gallon
After trying 3 different filters on my 36 gallon tank, I came across this 30-60 gallon Aqua Tech with amazing reviews. Even with it being a little more expensive than I have paid in the past, I thought I had found what I was looking for. Pkg came on time, very easy set up, put it in the tank and plugged it in....the hum was so much louder than I ever thought it would be. I even checked the impeller as the directions call for, made sure it was set properly on the tank, filled the tank to the very top and it still has a very loud hum. It works like a charm - suggestions on how to make it quieter? Hate to waste this money and go back to my Whisper, but I may have to. ... show more

  • Terrible new design with super strict water height requirements and difficult to clean
Size: New - 20 to 40 Gallon
I have been an aqua tech user for years and have always been super happy with their products. I needed a new pump for a new tank so I thought I would get this. They have redesigned the pump mechanism / impellers and moved them to outside the resevoir requiring the water level to be super high. It will not draw water unless the water level is above the new impeller design which sits inside the tank also forcing the electrical cord to go into the water. To clean this thing, you have to actually remove the whole unit just to clean the tube and impellers. The old design, you could do a quick clean by just removing the tube with the impeller at the same time not having to unplug and remove the whole unit. Further, the bottom cap covering the impeller kept falling off during installation as well as removal. Whoever designed and approved this new design should be fired. I cant even use this on my bigger tank because of the water height requirement. Water evaporates and we fill our tank all the time. If the water level drops at all this pump will stop working. I hope I can find an older unit with the better design because I really dont want to switch brands and filter cartridges. PS, I dont like returning stuff and now I have to box this up and return it. Very disappointed in this unit! ... show more
