Great Filter for the Price.
| Installation and Operation |
Very easy to install. Hang it on the back, fill it with water and plug it up. Instructions are pretty much worthless cause installation is gravy. It is very easy to operate. It basically has one setting to control the flow and that's it. Cleaning is a piece of cake as well. Unplug it and go clean it. Filter changes are easy as well.

| Performance vs. Expectations |
Performed well. I was not expecting much but it kept the water clean and I was impressed. I used this in a 55 gallon tank with 2 oscars that only ate live food and it kept the water very clean.

You get what you pay for
| General |
Within 3 months of purchasing this filter, the impeller shaft was warped, the drum was scored, and the filter was extremely noisy. I was very dissatisfied with this filter and would not purchase it again. If you are looking for a biowheel filter, consider upgrading to the Emperor line of products. |

awsome filter

Great filter and does the job efficiantly. I love how you can just change the filter pad without worrying about not having your good bacteria lost with the old filter. Awsome product and I recommend this a lot. |
