That looks like it would be perfect for my 3 gal rimless. I have Penn-Plax equipment that is 30 years old and still working great!

I used to purchase Cascade large hob’s. Also had a couple of their canisters for the 125 gals. The price was right. They worked great for me. I put my own media in though because I didn’t care for theirs. I will say the Aqua Clear is my favorite above the Cascade hob. No complaints on their canister filters.

I had a Cascade 200 on my 20 tall and it quit working after 3 months....i replaced it with an Aquaclear 50 and it works great!

[tommachin]

I have 3 Cascade Canisters all work well. I did get a HOB but designed for a 40 gallon and it worked well. I wouldnt say the HOBs were better then an aqua clear or a tidal... But mine was also cheap and worked pretty well and also had alot of room for media since the cartridges were kinda crap.

The way you splashed that water 💦 into that filter!!!!😂🤣😆I laughed all over myself!!!

[tuxedopitbulls]

I think I ordered all your panda Corrys today lol. Q: Can they eat any kind of fish food? I use Betta pellets, dehydrated bloodworms, and dehydrated Daphnia.

Michael's Fish Room does good testing he does not hold back🐟
I use it If had a small tank thanks

[annac]

I have one from amazing and it works great on my 3 gal shrimp tank

[doxiediane]

I have one from AquariumCoop looks exactly the same but different brand. Have it on my 6.5 cube for my betta. It works great and has great flow control.

[aquariumhacksbymarcus]

Yeah I had some of those filters I never buy them again they all leak around the motor with the o-ring I think they would be a good filter if they can solve that leaking problem

[SpinsterSister]

I had 4 of those in my WOOT! shopping cart but backed out! Glad you reviewed it and it shows that it works pretty well. WOOT! has excellent customer service so if it sucked, they would have given you an instant refund! Will you add it to your Betta tank?

[randallschuyler]

Hey there. Happy Holidays to you and yours. How about doing a new video on the new Aquaclear filter. Are they better than the original design ? Is the media setup better than the original design ? Are the as good as the Seachem Tidal ? Or not quite ? Thanks again. I love your videos ! Keep it up Mike. Glad to hear your feeling better.

I think I would use it on my 10 gal. Shrimp tanks with an inlet filter

[FishCapadesProductions]

I love the filling technique 😅❤❤❤❤the best❤❤❤

[edcctf]

Did Penn Plax buy out Whisper? That looks like a mini whisper knockoff. I loved the Whisper filters back in the 80’s and 90’s.

My old job at a fish store had the penn plax canister filters on a 125 and they lasted forever haha didn't know they still made filters just plastic plants & decorations

[LadeanaWhite]

Thanks for the review! Sponge filters are my fav tho. Aquarium co-op to be exact😁☮❤🦐🐠🪴

[jay-remedy-plz]

Never heard of Woot. But looking at your Tshirt I heard my inner self say it out loud.

[cathyhendrix]

I use a Cascade 100, I think it's a 100, I would have to check the box to be sure. 🤷‍♀️. Sorry. I do have the box somewhere. LOL. I digress. Anyways, it's for a 30-40 gallon tank. I have it on my 20 Long and it works really well except in the opposite corner from it. I placed it on the back glass in one corner and it works great. It would work better for the whole tank placed on the center of tank. I had to place it where I did because of the hood and light. The hood only had a spot big enough for the filter on either side of the tank on the back glass. I've finally bought a new glass top and a kick ass light but I just haven't had time to switch them out yet. OK. Truth....I'm a little bit lazy. LOL.

The price is right.This filter should work fine in the five or 10 gallon tank.
