It very easy to set up and very quiet when it runs

المنتج ممتاز جداً صفاء حوض السمك كرستال لكن مايطول ويخرب محرك الداخلي بسرعة حاولت اصلحة لكن للأسف كل الفنيين قالو مستحيل يتصلح والشركة لا توفر قطع غيار ولا ترد على الإيميلات ولا الرسايل

Bought this as an extra filter for my 90 gallon already running a fluval fx 6. It definitely has some power to it. No issues there. The media baskets are super thin plastic and feel cheap. The bio balls they give with it are pretty much garbage. They don't provide any clips to hold the intake and out take tube's in place on the rim of the tank. Just some suction cups that you can use on the inside of the tank, and I suppose you could use them in the outside aswell if you don't have a background on the outside of the glass. It would be nice if they includes not just a spray bar, but also an adjustable out take nozzle. I've only have it for a week, so we'll see if it holds up and doesn't leak. Overall for the price, it's decent and does what it's supposed to.

How did I not know about external canister filters until now? For years I’ve been using those filters that hang on the side of the tank — the ones that sound like a mini waterfall the second the water level drops a hair. I’ve dealt with slimy filter pads that constantly need replacing, and when the filter inevitably failed after a year, I’d end up replacing the whole pricey unit. I was actually shopping for yet another one of those when I stumbled across the PONDFORSE 265GPH Canister Filter. I was skeptical at first, but the reviews were glowing. The price was a bit higher than what I wanted to spend — but once I mentally added up what I was already paying for pads, replacements, and frustration, I decided to give it a shot. I’m so glad I did. The canister was easy to assemble, and after following the directions, it started working perfectly right away. It’s completely silent — the only sound is the gentle flow of water returning to the tank, which is actually relaxing instead of annoying. My only complaint? The hoses. They’re thick, stiff, and require some effort (and precision cutting) to position correctly. It’s definitely not a “bend and go” situation. The product could really benefit from better tubing. But even with that flaw, I liked it so much that I bought two more for my other tanks. I haven’t needed to break one down for cleaning yet, but after watching someone else do it, it looks straightforward. Overall, this filter has been a total upgrade from the noisy hang-on-tank style — and I wish I had discovered canister filters years ago.

Works good but the bulbs don’t last at all mine burn out really quick
