The Power Filter has a filtration volume that is up to 7 times larger than comparable filters. It also allows superior contact time with AquaClear filter media. The filter preserves beneficial bacterial creating a stress-free environment for fish aquarium inhabitants (freshwater fish and live aquarium plants) and maintaining clear aquarium water. Its unique waterfall design enables filtered water to return to the tank silently, gently breaking the surface tension and creating beneficial oxygenation. The Power Filter’s patented flow control feature allows you to adjust the water flow according to your aquarium needs.

The patented AquaClear re-filtration system allows you to control the flow rate without compromising filtration efficiency. When the flow rate is reduced, up to 50% of the water within the filter chamber is processed multiple times.CycleGuard Multi-Stage Filtration System Provides optimal mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. A healthy aquarium requires "beneficial" bacteria. Invisible and harmless, beneficial bacteria are essential in the removal of toxic ammonia and nitrite. With cartridge filtration systems, when you throw away the cartridge, you throw away beneficial bacteria. It can take weeks for the bacteria to re-colonize, resulting in a stressful environment.Typical Filter Media Placement:BottomAquaClear Foam Insert, which does the following: 1. Helps with debris removal and provides optimal water distribution patterns, allowing subsequent filter media to perform at full efficiency. 2. Biological filtration, due to the porous structure of foam, providing surfaces for beneficial bacteria.MiddleAquaClear Activated Carbon Filter Inserts contain 100% premium research grade carbon. Premium research grade carbon provides large amounts of surface area for adsorption of undesirable impurities.TopAquaClear BioMax Filter Inserts contain BioMax ceramic rings. The surface of BioMax is made up of a complex pore system that allows bacteria to thrive.AquaClear Power FiltersPower Filter MaintenanceFor maximum filter operation and efficiency, regular cleaning of the filter and its parts is recommended every two weeks.Always unplug the Aquaclear Power Filter prior to cleaning.First you want to remove the cover, filter basket, and discard water remaining in the filter case. Thoroughly rinse collected debris from the case, impeller cover and impeller assembly using clear lukewarm water.Then intake "U" tube and extension tube can be cleaned with a filter stem brush to remove any build-up of deposits.When all parts have been cleaned and thoroughly rinsed, reassemble filter and replace any scheduled media. Install the filter once again back on the aquarium making sure that the filter is tipped slightly forward.Then fill the AquaClear filter box with aquarium water. Finally plug the filter into an electrical outlet and the AquaClear will self-prime and begin running in a few seconds.Media ReplacementAquaClear Foam Filter Insert: Replace Foam Filter Insert every two months.

  • Noise! Noise! Grrrrrrr! Make it shut up..I hate this thing.

  • You can't argue with a blueface angel and clown tang that are 30 years old...
Size: 60 to 110 Gallons - 110
Model: 110. Tank: 90 gallon saltwater FOWLER tank. I run the 110, along with two hang-on Aqua-C Remora protein skimmers (the original, medium size model). I have two 8-9 inch long fish, both purchased in 1988 and thus now 30 years old. I have limited mobility in my right leg, so under-tank sumps would be tough for me to manage. Instead I rely on large hang-on (HOT) products that I can reach. I believe the 110 has the highest flow rate of any HOT filter on the US market. I use the included sponge filter and ceramic media, and add a mesh bag with PhosGuard to absorb phosphates. Nitrates run 20, so my skimmers are cleaning up adequately after two BIG fish, and the AquaClear keeps particulates down and the water clear. I only clean it when flow rate slows, which is every four to six months. Because replacement parts are not stocked at my local fish store, I bought a second 110 unit to use for parts if needed. So far, after five years of use, the only non-original part presently operating in the filter is the U-shaped siphon tube, which broke because I dropped it (not a defect). You can buy some individual parts online, but the cost adds up, and for me, buying a whole complete unit (albeit sitting in the original box in the garage) made sense, since you have instant access to any needed part. The cost of a 110 at the time I bought unit #2 was $20 below today's cost, so for me it was a bargain. ... show more

  • A Pre-Filter Sponge Is A Must!!!
Size: 40 to 70 Gallons - 70
I really like this filter, but there are a few things to consider. First and foremost, a pre-filter sponge is a MUST for smaller fish. The intake strainer is way too large for small fish. One day after install I had an adult neon tetra and adult khuli loach sucked into the intake tube. Sadly they both perished. :( Second, the filter is not silent. My old Bio Wheel filter was virtually silent. The Aquaclear initially rattled some. I took it back apart and re-seated the impeller cover and that stopped the rattle. Easy fix. The motor does still have a slight hum. Honestly for the GPH it's somewhat expected. If you want complete silence this might not be the filter for you. The main perk of this filter to me is the large filter media box. I can add plenty of media and filter floss for polishing (use loose floss in a media bag or buy sheets of floss and cut to fit). Polishing is a huge thing for me. My water tends to be slightly milky without polishing. So this filter allows me to do that with ease. Another selling point for me is that the water is forced through the media from the bottom up. Rather than passively flowing through a thin filter like most use this filter actually forces water through your media. So it's way more effective overall. Last but certainly not least, this is a well tested filter within the fish keeping community. In my experience very few have harsh things to say about the Aquaclear filters. ... show more

  • A little poly-fil goes a long way!
Size: 10 to 30 Gallons - 30
Quiet, moves a lot of water, and easy to clean. At first I thought this filter was just "ok" because the water wasn't dirty, but it also wasn't crystal clear. But after reading several aquarium forums I learned about people using 100% poly-fil with their filtration. I decided to try this method before going with a canister filter and boy am I glad I did! I cut and placed the poly-fil after the mechanical filtration (sponge) in two layers ( just folded over) to the same length as the sponge and added the other filters ( carbon & bio). The poly-fil will compress so you do not have to worry about everything not fitting once you assemble it. After about 30 minutes I had the clearest water ever! The poly-fil will not affect pH levels and was purchased at a local wal-mart for less than $5 for a 36" x 45" roll. Update: Also great for saltwater filtration. Just ditch the ceramic rings. ... show more

  • Excellent design
Size: 20 to 50 Gallons - 50
I have 4 other AquaClear filters and like them. One of the positive features of the AquaClear design is to be able to remove the 3 filter segments (intact) from the unit w/o having to remove the entire unit from the aquarium, clean the filter components and return them (in the media carrier) to the unit. This new AQ50 filter has loose bio-media, i.e., not contained in a bag which is unlike the others I have and unlike the picture shown on the media box that came with the filter. Anyone who has cleaned an AquaClear filter knows the benefits of having the bio-media contained in a bag. I finally read the instructions and found the media bag (that looked a bit like packing material and I'd originally tossed it). Once I found that, the world was right again. This filter has is a very simple and efficient design. It's easy to clean and we all know about easy. If it's not easy, we tend to neglect it and then our water quality goes to pot and our fish suffer. So, easy is good, both for us and our fish. I bought another, more complex filter for a new 20 gallon tank but after 2 months, it's still not cycled. I plan to cycle this new AC 50 on a separate tank and then xfer it to the 20 gallon. Not sure what I'll do with the more complex design.. I'm a mechanical engineer and understand design. This is a well designed unit and a lot of bang for the buck. ... show more
