Aqua-Tech Ultra Quiet Power Filter is your answer to keeping aquarium water pristine without the fuss. Our complete 3-stage filtration system provides coarse floss to remove large particles from aquarium water; carbon filtration to remove odors, discoloration and impurities; and Bio-Foam biological filtration to remove toxic ammonia and nitrites on contact. To ensure crystal-clear aquarium water, change the filter cartridge once a month, as carbon deactivates with use.Even with a decoupled motor running at less than 40 dB, this filter makes no sacrifices when it comes to power. Our impeller and motor assembly designed for efficient power usage filters a whopping 200 gallons per hour – completely filtering 20- to 40-gallon aquariums 5 times per hour. This filter uses the Aqua-Tech EZ Change #3 Filter Cartridge with Premium Activated Carbon. Aqua-Tech Filter Cartridges trap dirt, remove impurities and deliver maximum water-to-carbon contact to make your aquarium water sparkle. Designed to fit standard aquarium hoods and canopies, the Aqua-Tech Ultra Quiet Power Filter is a sophisticated filtering process made easy. Whatever your individual needs, Aqua-Tech products help make aquarium maintenance simple for a clean and beautiful aquatic environment.

Fabulous filter
This filter was easy to put together and works beautifully! I also would like to add how quiet it is. I cannot believe the difference between our old filter and this one! Shipped fast and great price!

Excellent
This is the second 30-60 gal Aqua Tech filter that I have purchased. It is identical to the first one that lasted 3 years. That pump still worked but the outside housing developed a leak that I could not find and fix. I suppose a very small crack, but a crack none-the-less.I am not sure why it gets negative reviews on quietness. This one cannot even be heard even when standing beside of it. Yes, there is a slight splashing noice when the filtered water hits the top of the tank water, but that is normal. If one doesn’t like splashing noice, then raise the level of the tank water.Reviewers are correct in stating it is too big for a 10–20 gallon tank. I am wondering if they did not see on the box that shows it is for a 30-60 tank. Perhaps the reviews for the smaller filters got mixed up with this one.The only negative that I have, and it doesn’t effect the rating, is that it comes with two very inferior filters. But I guess those two are better than nothing when one first uses it. Much better are the EZ-Change Cartridge #3.The queston is: “would you buy it again?” I did.

A steal
The value for the money here is awesome this is a great quality filter that costs way more in the commercial pet stores. It fits my tank perfectly ands easy to clean ands so fat is quiet as promised.

Filters well. Easy fix for noisy lid
Seems to work well. Filtering algae and excess food. Seems to do a good job circulating the water. It was loud at first due to the lid vibrating. A little gasket would avoid. I added a soft clip to cushion the lid and much quieter. Wish the filters were cheaper

Waste of money
I wish I could give it zero stars but unfortunately they won’t allow me. This filter is a complete waste of money. The motor was not connected to the filter and when I tried to connect it, it didn’t work and now it leaks every where. It should have been already connected before it left the factory but that was not the case for this filter. Completely and utterly disappointed. Hoping I can get my money back.

Powerful. Easy to assemble and get working.

Others who claim it is loud, have their water level low. It is exceptionally quiet.
Others who claim it is loud, have their water level low. It is exceptionally quiet for the amount of water flow it provides. It is easy to use and to clean as you do not need to ‘prime’ the pump. Decent value for your money, the quality is good. There is also ample room to add a small charcoal bag filter either before or after the main filter. Exceeds expectations.

Después de 2 filtros anteriores que no duraron ni un año, encontré este. Es un excelente filtro, de muy fácil ensamble e instalación y los reemplazos se consiguen muy fácilmente. Mantiene el agua de mi acuario ( 30L ) en perfectas condiciones por meses!
