Nick Nacrelli: This hang on the bag filter is easy to use, has decent flow and has ran well. It clean, just unplug and rinse well. I’d recommend having filter floss on hand for when it’s time to clean out the filter. This filter comes with a piece of plastic to help with vibrations and noise. I added a small piece of filter between the glass and changer to damper more noise. Looks fine and seems durable n

teezy: The media could not be loaded. I purchased one unit for my 3 gal nano tank with guppies and live plants. Very simple set up and installation, quiet and seemingly effective with great flow, even came with a rubber piece to secure to the tank rim to add extra noise barrier. I did consider buying a more dense sponge to help keep floating plants from getting sucked into this sponge as I noticed this being an issue in all of my tanks using this filter but overall, quite and attractive for my rimless nano tank and easy to clean. Or at least first impression…
After a month I decided to buy 3 more units for my other nano tanks since I was overall happy with the purchase. All 3 units arrived and all same contents in the box MINUS the rubber tubing for the tank rim to create the noise barrier. This was frustrating but given that all 3 were missing it, I assume this piece was discontinued as part of the setup?
Quickly installed all 3 units to my 3 and 5 gallon tanks which I have scatted throughout my house. All is going well but on these units, about 3-6 weeks in, they are no longer whisper quiet. They make very LOUD humming noises and semi rattle against the tank. I...

Hope this helpsHope this helps: Truth be told I was concerned about getting this HOB filter for my 2.5 gallon shrimp tank due to some critical points other reviewers made. So you know where I'm coming from, I do have a larger 30 Gal general tank and I've typically had bad experiences with HOB tanks that have the pump outside the of the tank. I tend to do better with either "self-priming" HOBs or Internal filters. However, for a 2.5 Gallon tank, internals take up too much space for the aquascaping I wanted to do and the only "self-prime" HOB I could think of that would fit was no longer produced (Marina S5). So I had no choice but to go with this HOB that had the motor on the outside. And it's actually really good.
So my thoughts as to why I really like this one:
1. This filter is small and slim, but has ENOUGH space for me to customize the filter media (see pictures).
2. Super quiet...in fact my air pump is louder than it. The main feature that helps is that there is a rotating piece you can turn to put some space between the tank and the motor. That's the key there. I had rattles when it was up against the aquarium, but now that I turned that disk and created space, you don't hear anything...

HCM: Is it small? Yes.
Does it work? Yes.
Is it loud? ALSO YES.
This thing hums so loud that it will make you question your sanity. I've owned quieter air bubblers. My vaccum cleaner is quieter than this. Your neighbors will call a noise complaint on you for using it. (Ok maybe it's not THAT bad)
BUT ITS STILL SO LOUD

Amazon Customer: Overall this a good filter for the aquarium I wanted to use it in. The only problem is that it is a little noisy, padding with insulating foam to isolate it somewhat from the aquarium helps reduce the noise. If aquarium is stored somewhere where a light buzz is no problem, then this is a great filter

Michelle28: This tiny filter works great with my son's 1.5 gallon tank. It has more suction power than the old tetra one that came with the tank. The current on the lowest setting is perfect for his betta. It is a little noisier than the last filter though. So far, I'm satisfied, I just need to look for filters that will fit the chamber. The filter cartridge has an odd shape.
