Have a Question? See What Others Asked

what is outlet gallon-per-hour flow rate?
Does this filter include long hoses so that it can be mounted under the tank (in the base of the tank)? Or is it designed to "hang on the back of the tank only"?
where can i get parts for this filter? i need the cap for the primer hole.
Would the Finnex PX-360 be able to handle ~12" below the tank top and, in addition, host an in-line Hydor 200W heater and in-line DO!Aqua CO2 atomizer without lowering flow rate too much?

Easy to fix. The best small canister.

To understand the "flaws" one must understand some basic fluid dynamics. As a mechanic that's filled numerous radiators, I'll do my best to explain.The air and churning noises are easy to trace back to the installer. These pumps are lift pumps. That's all they do. The canister itself is gravity fed. The pump has very little suction, if any at all. All it is designed to do, is lift the water back into the tank. You MUST buy bulk vinyl hose (1/2" ID; 5/8" OD) from your home improvement store. This hose will prove to be slightly larger than included.. it will work (I'll say more about that soon). There just isn't enough included. And DO NOT (Bold, underscored, italicized) DO NOT use the hang on back brackets. If you want hang on back, buy a HOB.I can read the reviews, and see that people are not giving the water enough "drop". What I mean is, the hoses it comes with, aren't long enough. You need to be able to have the filter far enough below the water intake, that gravity takes over, and effectively siphons the water from the tank, into the canister.Also, invest in some 90 degree, 1/2" hose connectors. Install those as the inlet and outlet exit the tank. You should make a "U" of 90 bends, that will point towards the floor. You'll need a small piece of connecting hose. Secure these connections with zip ties. Two or more.Now, the important part--make sure your canister is mounted as low as reasonably possible. Mine rests on the floor of a stand that is 28" tall. My tank is 15" tall. I have 43" of "drop". I also don't have any air bubbles in my hoses.This thing has more than enough power to lift two feet. In fact, I recommend you also buy a pair of 1/2" ball valves from your favorite home improvement store. I bought "shark bite" variety that had three barbs. I put a small zip tie between each of the barbs to secure the connection. As, 1/2" aftermarket hose fits very loosely. If I were to do it again, I'd use a pair of ball valves as close to the pump motor as possible. This idea is borrowed from the flow control valves found on other canister filters. The intended use of two would be, when you're trying to open the canister for maintenence. You can close both valves, disconnect the pump head as a unit from the canister with the clasps, and have minimal spillage. All while never touching your hose connections. This should also maintain your siphon. The canister should automatically refill when you open the ball valves--if the tank is full. You can use the "out" side ball valve to fine tune the force made by the output. Keep the input ball valve full open--unless maintaining.All in all, exactly what I was looking for. And I was kind of intrigued to see some of the ideas in the box. The HOB brackets are a good idea, just not practical. The included spray bar is nice. As is the "stream" output nozzle. It's basically as good as it gets for it's price and place in the market. Another $25 in materials and you have a setup that will rival some of the bigger names, with no actual modifications of parts. Add a $45 set of Lilly pipes and you have a top of the line piece. I don't think you'll make a more recognized name do that for anywhere near the small sum you'd have in this Finnex. This is definitely a DIY'ers treat. Little changes make a big didifference. You get to give yourself a pat on the back... feel like an engineer for a week or two. =)

Awesome canister filter

I purchased this filter for my fluval edge which is a 12 gallon tall tank. The little hang on back filter that came with the tank was just not adequate, I would do water changes weekly and by mid week my water had a slight green to it, no good! I was between this filter and the zoo med, this one is slightly bigger and had less reviews but better reviews then the zoo med so I went with this one.For my 12 gallon it keeps the water very clean and clear, the output is definitely adequate. Its customizable you can have it just under your tank, to the side of your tank, or on the back like a hang on back filter. It has several output options you can use a spray bar, which has 2 different lengths, you can just leave the tube to output the water, or they give you a little piece that disperses the water with no spray bar. It also come with a sponge to put over the input in case you have shrimp or really small fish.To prime (get it started) the filter is VERY easy, all you do is secure the lid take the little lid if you will off and fill it up completely with water, plug it in and it starts right up.A couple BAD THINGS i can think of is the instructions are very confusing, you have to keep looking back and forth at the text and pictures, its just organized poorly. If someone was brand new to canister filters I can see them having a hard time BUT be patient its a great filter, its really common sense just take your time and think about it. ALSO the hose you are given is not long enough to put underneath the tank, not in my case anyway. I cut maybe a fourth of the hose off and its siting next to my tank. Also the small clips (not the big clips on the longer side, the small ones on the short ends) on the lid aren't attached to the filter they slide in a groove, when unbuckling it, came off and i thought it broke, don't worry it just fits into a groove.UPDATE 10/4/15 I have a different aquarium now, its a 20 gallon long. This filter is for up to a 20 gallon, so technically i'm at the max and it keep my tank very clean. I open the filter up once a month and clean the motor, impeller, all the media gets squeezed out and the filter gets a light scrub. I take great care of it and I've had zero issues. I am considering a filter upgrade now, however this filter keeps my 20 gallon heavily planted aquarium impressively clean.
