Hi..if you are reading this and looking for a new or replacement filter, AquaClears are great. My 70 (300) is extremely quiet and my aquarium is crystal clear. Even though the filter comes with sponge, carbon and BioMax, you can set it up which ever way you want. The sponges can be washed in aquarium water to save a few dollars and maintain your biological filter. Cleans easily. The old number represented the gallons per hour. The new number represents the maximum size aquarium. Good luck.
So I recently did the hunt for a new power filter for my 55 aquarium. I saw alot of positive reviews for this filter so I bought one... Wow. This simple but POWERFUL filter does an exceptional job filtering my tank.
I also have a Peguin 200 power filter. Now this filter is what drove me to get a new one. You have to purchase insert filters and replace them regularly, which can be expensive and I think even wasteful. Also, the biowheel would often stop spinning after a few days.
So when I was looking for a new filter I wanted one with easy maintenance and would also allow you to rinse and reuse.
This aquaclear filter runs powerful, cleans the water using the three important steps, and allows me to customize my media inside it.
Looking at my tank now, I have both the new Aquaclear 70 running on one end, and my Penguin on the opposite. The water is like glass and the fish do indeed to be floating in nothing.
I have a overstock tank, lots of big and messy fish and lots of cories who snuffle along the bottom at all times. The water is pristine and there is no odor from the tank.
Really impressed with the filter.
I purchased 2 new ones for my 65 gallon tank, and their function has been flawless in over 1 year. They seem to pump a lot more water than any comparably sized or priced filters. They are easy to disassemble, maintain & clean. The easy to understand manual and parts diagrams are available on line at the [...] web site. I recently purchased a third unit at a garage sale which had been dumped in a storage box and unused for a long time. I tested it and it worked fine the first try..! All it needed was a replacement O ring for the motor. Parts are easily identified and available. Hagen Aquaclear will certainly be the power filters I will use for my next aquarium.
