I have used this brand for a while. Where there are better, for the cost this can’t be beat. I use it in my aquatic turtle tank. Tank is a 20’ long but I got this for a 40 gal. Works great. Just remember to thoroughly unplug & spray out the grate where debris can clog. Not loud or annoying. I would recommend this product

I’ve had this filter before for my turtle. Bought this one when my other went bad after a few years. This one only lasted 2 months. It completely stopped working and I tried to fix it, but the motor wasn’t spinning and was very loud. Would not recommend this, at least not off of amazon

Good filter but overpriced for only 3, should give more for this price.

I bought this filter for my turtle tank and it keeps the water crystal clear. The replacment filters are very inexpensive but you can wash the filter out many times before you have to change it out.I recently got a greater siren and bought another one of these filters for its tank.

I’ve been using the filter system for over a week now. Yes, my turtle tank ( 40 gallon) is pretty clean which is great, but this filter is driving me nuts. First off the cord was not in the proper place when I received it and I had a heck of a time and one phone call to the company because I could not get the black interior box out to re position the cord. I was so afraid I’d break something . The customer service person was very nice and assured me I wouldn’t break “ something “ . It took a pair of players and some real muscle to get the black interior box out. And the pump was not connected at all to the black box. I have tried numerous times to get it to say put when re assembling and it’s a battle. It just won’t hold tight enough to the box. So if I lay it on it’s side to assemble and CAREFULLY put it in the tank it might stay. But not always. Then, the thing is noisy. Like other people have said, it overflows all over the top of the green box so not exactly filtering all the water , pops, grinds, and sinks clear to the bottom of the turtle tank. Obviously the suction cups won’t hold it in place with all the vibrating, popping and overflowing water…sigh …. I placed a small piece 1/12 inch high marble under the filter to keep it off the bottom of the tank. That helped…a little. Honestly I really want to like this filter. I’ll call the company again now that I’ve had it a week to see if they can suggest anything else to remedy all the issues . The best I can say is that is that it has kept the tank relatively clean. Not sparkling clean by any means . But just as good as the expensive exterior canister pump that I preciously had. So that’s something LOL!

I likes this a very nice quiet & more room to add my ammonia, carbon, foam, & biofiltration stones in the zilla filter. More powerful nice to keep clean water for my aquatic turtle. Perfect & Awesome! :)

This filter is amazing and lasts. I use for my 20 year old turtle and he can get messy. This filter has his water sparkling clean and just works amazing. I was using the medium size before and lasted me for a long time and just upgraded to the large and this has allowed for my turtle water to stay clean for two weeks. I cleaned the filter and his water is sparkling clean again. By far the best filter I have yet used. Only downfall I can say if I have to say is it’s a little louder than the last one. But does not bother anyone.

Cycles a ton of water per hour. Very good at keeping an aquatic turtle tank clean. My only gripe is that it is a bit loud. As in you an't do things like read next to it. Something I enjoyed doing to keep my turtle company
