Fish Canister External 3 Stage Filter Pump for Aquarium Pond Pump Fish Tank New

So I read the reviews for this item, and thats the only reason I trusted this purchase because for the price of this filter and it stating how much GPH it can produce? It seemed too good to be true.

But when I received the item, the first thing I noticed is that the media baskets were a lot larger than I thought they were going to be, and all the parts were there. The only thing I had a problem with about the item was that the intake and out take plastic pieces were a green color, which really stood out against the black background of my tank so i painted them black before putting them in lol. This isn't something to take a star off for, just a personal preference. But just to note for the maker if you're reading this, maybe making the parts black would be a better neutral color vs. a green one, just for feedback.

Anyway, you cant go wrong with this purchase if you're looking for a good, cheap cost, working canister filter! You won't regret it. Mine's been up and running for almost a month now, no problems.

Summery: Pretty good and cheap canister. it is 4 stage meaning it has a Foam layer, a Charcoal Layer, a Ceramic beads layer, and a layer for either small ceramic beads or Ammonia Chips (serves nearly the same purpose). It comes with everything you need to get this thing going right out of the box. I have been using it for about a month now with not a single issue, though getting it all together and cleaning is clunky and messy; though I'm a canister NOOB so maybe the mess part is all my fault.

Pros: Cheap, highly effective 4 stage mechanical and biological filter, I would recommend this to anybody needing a better system then a hang-on biowheel style or undergravel filters. This is a must have upgrade. All levels in the filter can be removed easily and purchased at any pet store, such as ceramics, charcoal, foam etc. no need for "special" proprietary filter cartridges or any of that mess.

Cons: CHEAP, I mean, it just feels like the plastic pieces could go at any moment. Keep an eye on it. Rubber hoses had terrible kinks in them requiring a little heat from a hot air gun to straighten them out so I was getting full water movement. My ceramic pieces where crushed to powder during shipment, make sure to spend 3 bucks and get some more just in case and some ammo chips while you are at it.

Overall, I would recommend this. It is excellent value for money.
