Aqua-Tech Ultra Quiet Power Filter, For Aquariums 10-20 Gallons

This filter is the worst! It’s noisy and difficult to clean. For the first year I had a rubber band holding it together. Then I needed a wadded up paper towel between the wall and filter to quell the racket it made. Then even the paper towel didn’t work. It hummed and rattled so loud I could hear it downstairs with the door closed! Today after not even two years since purchasing it I pitched it and got another brand. I’m 72 years old and have had aquariums since I was 5. Never had problems with any filter and they all lasted several years. No need for two filter pads for a ten gallon aquarium. If you do water changes once a month or so and don’t over feed you won’t need two filter pads. Just another way to rip you off. If you decide to purchase this filter only use one filter.

Works well, good price, very quiet.

Long-lasting, quiet work straight. Easy to put together and take a part to clean

Overall great filters. Ive owned one for over a year. Very easy when doing water changes to unplug filter and plug back in without priming or adding water to pump basket. Pump maintains suction even when water is down to the intake tube. Biofoam is an excellent addition keeps tank from crashing. The filters can get noisy when the filter pad gets dirty and water flows out overflow. But that just let's ya now it's time to change filters.A lot of reviews complain about the noise. They're very quite when the water level is equal to discharge chute. About an inch below is when you'll hear water noise.Great value

This filter is soooo quiet!!! Idk why I never bought this before... 10/10 recommend!

The media could not be loaded. I needed a filter before my vacation and this was the best option I had given the delivery time frame. Upon installing and replacing some water in my tank, and following the instructions for setting up this filter, I was disappointed to see it poorly function with a weak flow. Not what I was expecting and now I'm worried my pets might not be okay when I return back from my vacation. Will be returning and getting something better.

Works fine

I had to replace my old one and chose to go with "old faithful". This is a filter I will use as long as they make! I have a 35 gallon tank with two HUGE fancy goldfish. They love their home and all their toys!
