AquaClear Quick Filter Powerhead Attachment (fits all sizes AquaClear Powerheads)

The AquaClear Quick Filter is a pretty effective water polisher. There isn't much else that you can say about it. That is what the Quick Filter was designed for and essentially all it does.

The AquaClear Quick Filter Refill Cartridge filter sleeves have a fine mesh that prevents all but the most minuscule particles from passing through; great for polishing water but because of this, the AquaClear Quick Filter clogs fast. I use the filter only after gravel vacuuming or any disturbances in my substrate. It will clear my 150 gallon tank in about 12 hours with an AquaClear 70 Powerhead on full.

The filter comes with two plastic media cages that the filter sleeve wraps around. These cages also serve as a place for carbon, peat or zeolite to be added, but because the filter clogs quickly, these media baskets are fairly pointless other than to wrap the filter sleeves around.

The upside of The AquaClear Quick Filter is that it is exactly what it says it is, a 'quick' filter, and as a quick filter, the AquaClear is perfect. As a biological or chemical filter, the AquaClear Quick Filter is essentially useless. But that is what other filters are for, right?

This product is a must have if you want super quick filtration without buying an additional power filter. Like a canister filter this thing quickly polishes the tank after cleanings and the debris is eliminated within a half hour. Without this, it took my tank about 2-3 hours to get clear, but with this quick filter my tank looks as though you could reach through the glass it's so clear! I leave the powerhead on 1/2 power during regular operation but turn it to full for polishing after tank cleanings. I love Aqua Clear.

I ordered this because it says it fits all sizes of AquaClear filters and I have a 110 in a turtle's tank. If you know turtles, they are quick to dirty a tank and I thought this would be a perfect addition to keep her water a little more clear between changes. It turns out it fits all sizes of filter EXCEPT the 110 (according to the box.) I kept it because I can still use it for other tanks and it just isn't worth my time to return it, but the description needs to be corrected.

Bought this mostly out of curiosity. Certainly won't function as the primary filter on a tank. Major objection is that filter material tends to release stringy clusters into the tank. Not harmful just ugly. Perhaps if you really washed it out before hand this tendency would decrease.
