Brilliant, it works first of all. I have 2 stingray filters i think thats what they are called. My goldfish are getting bigger, the waters getting harder to manage although they are in a large tank. The stingrays weren't quite cutting it. I got this one as an addition, not a replacement.I love the waterfall affect and you can see straight off that it will add more oxygen to the water.This is a larger filter than my others which i am not at all concerned about. It comes with everything to start it going so i didn't need to buy anything extra right off. Great price.Once it arrived i pulled it alk apart and put it all back together and cleaned it all out with tap water which won't be a problem as i left my larger filter in with it.I stuck it to the glass,

I've only had this filter for 24 hours but have noticed some things worth pointing out. I had the smaller version (Marina i110) which is an excellent filter but felt my aquarium needed something a bit more powerful in terms of filter media surface area. The i160 is basically the same but double in size.The water flow outlet of the i160 seems less powerful than the i110. Both use the same filter cartridges so I put my old ones in to the i160 to maintain beneficial bacteria along side two of the new ones. The water clarity in the space of a couple of hours was remarkable. The i110 struggled to clear fine particles and remove water staining from natural bogwood in the aquarium but the new i160 is fantastic in this regard.Pros: very quiet,

This filter came included with my Marina 84 aquarium, and I am pleased to say that I have been nothing but happy with its performance so far. It is quiet in operation, and appears to do a great job at keeping my heavily planted aquarium clear from any cloudiness. Some fellow reviewers have commented on the overly-powerful water output 'blasting' fish across the tank. I have not found this to be an issue with my 2cm guppies at all, in fact they like to swim under it! The filter is quite large, but that is to be expected, and by no means dwarfs the tank.My only complaint is that sometimes it can detach from the wall of the tank, as the suckers are no way large enough to support the filter's weight reliably.

This was so close to 5 stars, but it fell at the last hurdle.This filter operates as a waterfall so needs to be partly above the water line. The top of the filter is open which makes removal of the filter pads etc really easy for cleaning. This filter works really well too keeping the water lovely and clear without the addition of extra products.Unfortunately my filter keeps dropping on one side, The filter is held onto the glass with 4 suction cups and mine just don't grip the glass enough, It's close, but no cigar.Overall this is still a great product if it suits your aquarium setup. Clean, aerated water and happy fish.

Very silent! Powerful but silent,well made, have 2 filters from this company and both really good but just like with any filter with media in the cartridges you will need to find a way ro keep nitrifying bacteria in a filter after change otherwise nitrogen cycle starts new every time you change cartridge. F.e. this bigger filter has 2 cartridges put it, so works well if you would change one but not the other at a time. Brilliant filter. I use it for my axolotl tank. To reduce the flow i stuck half cut bottle on it with holes and filter media, almost no flow at all and still good filtration. Very happy

I received this filter today. Surprised it does not come with a lid? Arrived addressed with just the product box it came in which looks like it took a bit of punishment en-route. 10 minutes after installing I watched one of my small pleco's get inside the filter & got itself stuck until I rescued it. I've moved the filter higher in the water, but its now very close to my light. Quite a bulky item but seems easy to clean & change filters. Instructions were a little small & vague. It seems to be working ok but time will tell. Water still a little murky after a tank clean & +1 hour.

Excellent. I received mine this morning. I ran through the instructions to wash pads etc and put in my tank alongside my external filter. The flow wasn't really up to standard (as this is why i bought it for some more surface agitation) So i took it out and inspected. Upon inspection and a thorough read of maintenence details I checked the impeller. The impeller cover was not on. After securing it and putting it back together is perfect. During set up it should mention the inside housing slides out and the impeller parts should be checked. Other than this it's great!

I needed a high tern over filter for my pea puffer tank. I really like the waterfall effect. Much better than a spray bar as current isn't to strong. My only complaint is the replacement cartridge system. They clog up within days and every time you chuck them out you lose your cycle. I decided to make my own with sponges and homemade bags of carbon and zelote between the sponges. This has worked amazingly well and I no longer have to buy new cartridges

Perfect. Before purchasing this filter I had previously used 2 of the marina smaller filters but they were not coping as lost a few fantails .When I bought dwarf goldfish I transferred them to a larger 80 litre tank put this in and is so quiet and also keeps the water clear and aerated and the fish are healthy and growing. Can’t understand some of the negative comments and I paid full price as a normal customer and it’s perfect.Also easy too clean .

After having used the small version of these in nano tanks in the past and liking the easy filter pad removal from the top I decided to opt for this larger model, at around the same price as an unbranded product these are great quality!Good for creating surface agitation, easy to maintain, I like the bracket too which is easy to adjust and a sleek design that isnt too intrusive.in a larger tank you could use two, one at each end.recommended

I purchased this filter to replace the Interpet filter that came with my Aquarium. I found it to be more powerful and kept the water crystal clear for longer prior to a water change. It's very quite too. It will stay in position, but due to the size you might need to hold longer until it has a firm grip of Aquarium glass.

Had a few issues at first. It mad a awful loud noise I eventually found a part that had fallen off inside once that was fitted back on I have had no problems. My last filter I had to clean nearly every other day as it was very small I haven't had to change it in a month so far so I am very pleased

Quiet, solid unit. Works well at filtering.We have a Chinese soft shell turtle, he breaks filters for fun! as of yet this one remains in tact (although he did manage to get one of the filter sheets out an bit through that, however replacements of those are much cheaper than a new filter!)

I am very pleased with this filter. My daughter loves it. She doesn't quite concern herself with my hobby but even she could not resist to note the quiet and effective nature of this filter. I have tried a couple of filters but this one is the winner!

I have had other pumps but the amazing thing about this one is the fact that it is so easy to clean the filters. They just slide out of the top, rinse under the tap and put back! Simples! Also very quite compare to others I have had 4 star
