OASE Indoor Aquatics Set of 2 Bioplus 100

This filter is so simple to set up and clean. This actually cleans the water better than my topfin cylinder filtration unit that crapped out on me in less than 6 months of owning it. I have a 65 gallon tank and I bought the Oase when my topfin stopped working and I ended up loving it because of the excellent job it does keeping my tank clean! I only have the one in my tank but I plan on buying another for the other side of my tank given the size of my tank I should use two. It gives my tank crisp clear water that I've ever had in all my tanks I've owned! I highly recommend!! You won't regret it!

Read below to see my original experience which I now realize was more a result of incomplete instructions rather than insufficient design. I did not realize that the entire filter assembly is held to the motor unit by magnets and that if you grasp it by the slots on the side of just the filter housing it pops off easily and is thus easily disassembled and cleaned. I do not think this is clear in the instructions but it is in fact how it works. Thus I take back my negative comments and whole heartedly endorse this filter. PS: I substituted the larger foam filter with a filter bag of charcoal which seems to work better. Sorry about the confusion...This filter is a pain to clean! 20 gallon tank w/ three small gold fish. Expect to clean filter on water change, about every two weeks, but don't expect it to be easy. You must first pry the filter away from the glass with a tool (butter knife) otherwise the suction cups holding it in place pop off then good luck getting it apart to wash the filters. I am a strong man with woodcutter's hands and I had to curse up a storm to get the cover to release. Dirty water, filter crud and mess got all over the counter. It's just a poorly designed latch system that definitely cannot be operated the way it is shown in the elementary brochure. The filter has good flow options but don't try to clean it in polite company!

Great for water flow and agitating the surface of the water with the adjustable dial at the top. When cleaning there is a good amount of bio product that escapes back into the water when the filter is pulled from the housing but, gets sucked back up soon enough with the replaced/cleaned filter.

This is a great internal filter WITH modifications. It looks great in the tank and the heater feature is excellent. I set this up in a 26 gallon community tank. When I first purchased, I noticed the flow would slow down after a week so I was cleaning this filter more than usual (vs my HOB filters). I watched a video on YouTube on how to improve the flow, and it made all the difference - I drilled some holes between the layers and now the flow is excellent (and the tank even seems a little cleaner). Important: this took about 2 hours to do between drilling the holes and filing everything down / cleaning. This filter suited my needs since I wanted a sleek all-in-one solution and don’t have space for a canister

The media could not be loaded.  If you are tired of having to take out and dismantling your submersible filters, I do highly recommend changing to this model, it has made my life so easy and also my fishes seem way less stressed any time I do maintenance, you just need to detach the magnets oh so easily. The filtering material is great quality too and does floss the water perfectly. I also like that you can regulate the flow and that you can hide the heater behind, it seems like the temperature has been more stable since I placed it there. I like that it doesn't generate so much vibration and noise, maybe because it is more stable with 4 suctions cups in the corner and the chasis isn't in direct contact with anything. Just remember to avoid it if your tanks has neocaridina and the like, they will get sucked by it.

After trying a canister filter and it flooding the floor I looked at in the tank filters. This OASE was not one of the most "popular" brands but it caught my eye and for good reason. After buying it and running it I love what it can do.The best benefit is how it can adapt to your needs. Unlike other filters that want you to buy OEM filter products with this thing you can use whatever you want from any brand. Obviously be prepared to DIY how you get it to fit into the OASE such as cutting your sponge to size and so forth. Yet it allows you to include carbon and bio products. If you need you can get a generic bag to hold the carbon in from the lfs in town for a dollar. Set the arrangement in the OASE however you like or experiment with the setup based on the tanks needs.The downside.... I run a 65 gal planted tank so the filter is undersized by "normal" standards. BUT.... if you know what you are doing and run a balanced tank, keep fish stock light rather than like most people do in going beyond the recommended limit, then you will be okay. The only other thing that may bug some people is its size (I bought the biggest version of this they had) if you are not accustomed to seeing an in the tank filter. For planted tanks just plant around it. I cannot run an HOB and after a flooding canister this OASE is just the way to go.If you run a planted tank and prefer calmer waters set the outflow near the surface but just under the water. It provides enough circulation in my 65 gal to evenly distribute my CO2 injection which is proven by the CO2 check fluid. One more thought... I read reviews where people complained about the noise it makes.... I want to ask what noise? If you know how to set it below the surface there is no noise at all. Its not a waterfall filter it rests in the tank below the waterline.

I’ve had this filter for a few months now (since December I believe) I thought it might not be enough for my tank but I was surely proven wrong. This filter is great and while it may be a slight pain to clean I believe the efficiency of the filter makes it worth while

Ça a fonctionné que 3 min après plus riendéçus de mon achat

Tiene una gran capacidad para la filtración biológica y su diseño permite un gran movimiento del agua lo que facilita romper la tensión superficial para una mejor oxigenación del agua.
