"After going thru 5 filters in less than a week i had had it.. so, i finalyly broke down and got this filter and let me just say it is the best, i really love the shape of it and the color is great, it will blend in with a deep green or any kind of green background you have. You can never hear it. I mean never!! the only thing you hear is the running water from the outake, which my 3 RES's love, because they swim under it for a "rush", i would give this product 12 paws up baby!! ( 4 for each turt).
The cleaning for this item is very very simple, all you have to do is take off the top and pull out the core and rinse and put it back in, the only part that needs to be replaced so much, only because i have 3 RES's is the white filter part on top, other than that it is GREAT!!!
We are moving in the future and i plan on getting another filter just like this one, to help keep down the waste in my turt's, once it..
One side note, in order for the item to work you need to allow it to complete the cycle, that is how you get the crystal clear water( usually takes about 4 weeks), i just do 25% water changes each week, i never ever do a FULL water tear down, that would ruin the ecco system that builds up in it!
If you have RES's or any kind of TURT you must get this product, your babies will thank you for it!"
