  • Motor lasts only about a year
Make sure that you get proper tank cleaning tools and not just this filter. It gets dirty pretty easily and the motor starts to give out about after a year.

  • Warranty sucks!
I purchased the Plen Plax Cascade 80 and it worked great!! until it locked up, after only a month. I took it apart and tried to free it up with no luck. Pump is gone! So I contact Plen Plax regarding the warranty. It was cheaper to purchase a new unit than send mine in for warranty. Also, I figured they did not understand that I kind of needed a pump now for my aquarium. So I purchased a 2nd one, that was about 6 months ago. It seems to be functioning great for now. ... show more

  • I felt like this unit ran well while I used it
I felt like this unit ran well while I used it; although, it was not used for a fish tank. My thought was to build a water fountain for my cat. It worked great, and I was able to fix any slight hiccups it had, e.g. sometimes the propeller had to be pulled out and dropped back in after washing and putting it back to together. ... show more

  • I love the color
Mine stopped working twice! I just the other night tried to clean & get it working again. Not happening. Perhaps I just got an off the wall one. But I'm going to see if I can find a better; the price was right but its the fish I need to think about.

  • Flow Adjustment Not Working
I got the Cascade 80 for my 10 gallon betta tank to replace my somewhat noisy and space-hogging Whisper filter. Upon installation, it seems to be working just fine. Next to no noise and minimal space usage. However, the flow adjustment, which I had specifically picked the Cascade for, doesn’t seem to work. I turn the knob, and absolutely nothing happens, which is unfortunate. My betta requires a low-flow filter. The current is a little too strong for him, though admittedly it’s better than my previous filter. Pretty good product, just one malfunctioning feature. ... show more

  • Don’t buy the used ones from here.
So we have a few of the cascade filters. So far so good. The 20 wasn’t filtering our 5.5 gallon that great so when I saw the 80 “used but great condition” for $12 figured I’d give it a shot. It came today. It’s cracked inside near the motor. It’s not even usable. It’s so not worth the risk. I’d be fine if it was used and in “great condition” like it stated but it’s damaged. So it’s going back. Just a warning to others who think of taking the risk. I will state this too. Our first cascade 20 came cracked as well it was definitely still usable but I didn’t want a cracked filter. So they sent us a replacement. ... show more

  • Very quiet! But, NO lid is included.
Love it! Very, very quiet. However, only 4 stars because it doesn't come with a lid. Apparently, it stated thst in the info, but I didn't notice it.
