MarineLand Magnum Polishing Internal Canister Filter, For aquariums Up To 97 Gallons, 10.5 IN (ML90770-00)

Super noisy like impeller not fitted correctly checked it was fine still the same then stopped running Maybe a faulty item I'm returning it anyway

Keep cutting out blowing fuses

Funciona muy bien lo recomiendo

Second time purchasing this, the cord broke off right at the motor on the first due to hardening and the lack of a strain relief boot for the cord (some feedback for Marineland), rendering it useless, but it worked well and lasted a long time and was worth the $100. It is quiet, if it makes rattling noise that means the filter is clogged, it works fast and can clog quick, it is simple to service. It obliterates air and helps oxygenate the water or move your C02. It gets the water crystal clear with the white filter. Clears a tank and moves water very fast. Don't handle it by the cord in the water even if seems buoyant.

After 35 years using a Vortex D-1 filter, its pump head started leaking. Imagine that!!! After some searching, I found the Marineland Polishing Canister Filter at a reasonable price here on Amazon that can polish your aquarium's water with diatomaceous earth much easier. First try IT WORKED COMPLETELY. I say easier because, the Vortex had hoses and a large filter canister that were all external. The Marineland filter sits in your tank and does the same job. My tank is 35 gallons connected to Fluval 306 Canister Filter and the Marineland filter is not too big and visible if I put it on a sidewall. First day - it's very quiet - so we'll see what happens in the future as other buyers have reported increased noise as filter ages. Charging it is a breeze. After running for about 3 hours, my cloudy water completely cleared - just as the Vortex did. I'll shut the Marineland down and run it as needed just like I did with my Vortex. The only question now is, do I have to recharge the Marineland Filter after each use to get particle coverage on the internal filter element. We'll see on that. Make sure when you charge your filter with diatom powder, you use the Marineland recipe - 6 tablespoons/charge, not what other YouTube Bloggers say - 6 teaspoons/charge. (By the way, 6 tablespoons is 1/3 of a cup.) Enjoy this product - my Vortex has been relegated to recycle! PS The Middle photo is a before and the far right photo is an after 1 hour of filtering.

So far I have been happy with this purchase. I purchased it for my 75 gallon reef tank with a few fish and some soft corals. The tank has live rock and a protein skimmer, and I have tried and abandoned a number of different hang-ons (didn't work), and cartridge filters (too risky). Living in an apartment where any water spill will run down below me, I just could risk using anything outside of the tank, which is one of the reason that I got rid of my sump when downsized my tank size. However I clearly needed some type of mechanical filter. So without much hope, I decide to try this one, without having to make another big investment. I have been pleasantly surprised that using the cartridge filter I have have had considerable success in cleaning up my tank and my corals look much healthier. Pros: The whole thing fits in my tank through it is fairly big, which may be a factor in anything smaller. I have been able to clean and reuse my original filter several times, through I have also purchased a 2nd filter which I rotate. Filter life varies but is now approaching 3 to 4 weeks before the filter become very noisy. The flow rate is very good and I use it to help move water around my live rock. It is fairly easy to clean, through kind of a pain to move in and out of the tank. Replacement filters are not expensive and they can be re-cleaned often. I am still using the first two after 6 months of use. Cons: The filter gets very noisy as it clogs which depending on how often you have to clean it may be annoying. The filter is fairly large making it suitable for a 75 gallon or larger tank. It might be OK in a 50 or smaller tank depending on how much room you have. It has a pretty good flow rate, which may or may not be a problem, or a plus for you.

This filter is great. Before, I had Aqua Clear Filter that destroyed my floor and my wall and it was so noisy it was driving everyone crazy. I feel like this is the best item for the price if you don't want to invest in a refugium. It starts to make a little noise when it gets dirty. I keep it clean (clean up once a week) and my water is perfect without even hearing the thing so I really don't understand people saying it is noisy... I have a 90g reef tank with 7 fishes so except the fact that having it is not perfect because of the aesthetics, it is still a great item for the price.
