AZOO Mignon Filter 60

This is a great little filter for my 3 gal. tank with my betta Angelo. It is VERY quiet and the water stays SO clear. The flow can be controlled which is nice because betta do not like heavy flow. I would have given it 5 stars but the instructions are VERY vaugue and there is no number to call to ask questions. There is a little black knob that is part of the set up, it goes in the bottom of the filter to keep it stable. Other than that it is a great item for the money.

This is the perfect little filter for the Tetra Crescent Aquarium Kit, 3-Gallon. The tank kit came with a whisper internal filter and I didn't like how it took up so much space. So I got this and I have to say I am very happy. I would recommend AsianDude666 on youtube for the setup, that's where I got the idea about this filter. 110% Satisfied! =)

Wow, just got it today (Prime in 2 days). Waited to use it in a new tank, Tetra 3 gallon (didnt get it here). The Tetra tank came with a cheaply made in-tank 3i filter which I was already familiar with from my current 1 gallon tank. The AZOO definitely beats the Tetra filter hands down. Its like night and day. The flow is adjustable, great suction power despite it being very small. The 3 gallon tank top has cutouts that fits this filter perfectly. All you need is 3.5 inch clearance. Its whisper quiet.

The best part, though it comes with both a carbon sponge and filter sponge, the Tetra filter cartridge Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag Cartridge small, 2-Packfor the Tetra 3i filter fits perfectly into the AZOO diagonally. I'll try to post a few pictures.

Anyway, I went and got 2 more as back ups. Since its not a know brand like Tetra, it appears to be a Taiwanese brand, don't know how long it will be on Amazon.

Like other reviewers, this IS a great filter for small setups. I have 3, and use them when extracting fry, or various discoveries from either the 65 gal reef or 30 gal freshwater tanks. It should be noted that both tanks are equipped with Aqua Clear 110 filters, to which I add white felt pads cut to the size of the sponge).

To aid in filtration, I have created little mesh bags filled with charcoal. Additionally, approx. 4 pieces of ceramic containing healthy bacteria have been extracted from the main Aqua Clear filter and placed within the Zoo filter compartment. By adding the charcoal & ceramic to the Zoo filter you will greatly improve the over all performance of this great little devise.

Enjoy!

Just set this filter up the other day on my 3 gallon Marineland Crescent. The filter hangs outside of the aquarium, so you'll need a few inches of space behind it. The intake is the only part of the filter that is inside the aquarium, so it doesn't take away swimming space. The filter is almost completely silent. The instructions are vague as another reviewer mentioned, but fortunately on youtube there is a video by AsianDude666 which demonstrates how to set the filter up, and he suggests getting Aquaclear foam and Biomax to use, as the sponges that come with the filter are skimpy. You can just cut the Aquaclear foam sponge to fit the filter. Both items were found cheap on valuepetsupplies.com. I set it up exactly like he did it, and it seems to work great. I have the flow set to the lowest setting and my betta is fine with it. For a couple weeks, I am taking turns running the Azoo and my original filter so the Azoo has time to collect beneficial bacteria. Then I will remove the enormous Tetra filter that came with this small aquarium, and my betta will have more space. And to clean the Azoo filter media, just take out the sponge and the biomax and rinse them in water from the tank to preserve your good bacteria.***Update 5/23/13 Make sure to use all the attachments that construct the tube. Don't make the mistake I made and fail to use the bottom extension piece of the tube. Without it, the opening is wide enough for a betta to get sucked into and killed, which is what happened to one of mine. So mad at myself for not noticing this preventable hazard. Each piece is included for a reason.***

***Ok another update 6/9/13...This should go without saying but make sure you clean the filter often, mine has developed gunk on the inside of the tube that I can't get out, the only way I might be able to reach in far enough is with a pipe cleaner. I wasn't cleaning it often enough. Cleaning it weekly would be good, but no less than every 2 weeks I would say.***
