AMOSIJOY Ultra-Quiet Canister Filter for Large Fish Tanks and Aquariums

This seems to be doing quite a good job in my tank due to the fact that it pushes so much water through. I have purchased in tank pumps and they just didn't perform like they needed to. He always needed to have them cleaned/removed slash a pain in the butt. This thing has worked for a month and I'll be cleaning it sometime soon but as far as I'm concerned it is definitely better than the in-tank pumps... Less cleaning and better circulation of the water. I recommend this or I think there's like one or two higher than this. I don't recommend the lowest choice that they have this one is like number two on the list. Anyway, it's during the job and I think you'll be happy with it. Keep the tank above the pump the gravity of the water will help it not to stop pumping That's a must. The light should be stronger but it does what it does. I would enjoyed it more if it had a higher wattage for the UV light. Haven't had to clean the pump for the last 30 days which is so much better than in tank pumps I was having to clean those almost on a weekly basis if not twice a week. The amount of water this thing pushes through is good and does its job. Recommended. Update: The pump stopped working and is going back to Amazon. I'm opting for the next size up which I shouldn't have to because the tank is only about 15 to 20 gallons. However, I'm hoping the quality of the next size up will fix the issue with a stronger flow. I've lost quite a few fish due to the pump stopping and the heater overheating the tank due to lack of flow. This will be the third attempt. The first one was sent back because it never worked / the replacement worked for about 3 weeks and we shall see what the third one will do. It's got 30 days to impress or it will go back as well and with that I will switch to another brand. Hopefully, the extra power in the size up will allow it to function correctly and keep flowing instead of sitting there like a brick not doing anything. Will update...

Have had filter running several weeks. This filter performed better than I expected. Easy to get started. Has a handle to prime filter and hoses with no effort. I would recommend it. I have it on a 20 gallon hexagon column and it works amazing. Probably an overkill since I'm doing plants. Im not using the UV but it also came with an extra lightbulb. The only thing is the filter media. The bio-rings are plastic and the pads are not so good. But for me not a deal breaker because I most of the time change things in my filter anyway. Bought new pads that were in a bundle and foam. And I had bioballs of ceramic. Added a lot of bio-material for bacteria to grow. I really like the filter, plus it's not big at all it's actually small good for when you don't have a lot of space.

I amended this review after 2 weeks. The pump began putting out far less volume of water. I took it apart and cleaned everything and it still was moving little water. I pulled the intake cover and checked the lines, there was no obstruction. I even tried with the filters out, no go. I'm getting a replacement and will update. I'm worried if this happens again I'll be outside of the return window. Update on my update. I received the replacement and the motor was noisy. Also none of the fittings were correct. The downtubes were clear plastic and too small for the inlet cage. Also they sent me two inlet elbows with no way to fit the spray arm. After cobbleing the hoses together to make this thing work, the new pump leaked. I tried resetting the top portion and no matter what it leaked about 2 inches in a 5 gallon bucket in an hour. It was coming from where the handles are in the top. I absolutely would not recommend this unit. This has been a two day struggle and I WOULD NOT TRUST THIS PUMP!!

So far so good i just set it up, it was a little complicated to get started but it has good flow of water and is working beautifully.The waterfall part makes a strange squeak sometimes but that may just be mine. If you are having water flow issues give it a chance I couldn't get mine running for a couple hours and I did consider returning. I gave it one last shot readjusting my seals and tubes and it worked! Excuse the dirty tank old filter went out and havent had a chance to clean.

No complaints so far. The self primer works ok and the filter is pretty quiet once the air settles out of it. Didn't use the provided out/intake. Hooked up just fine to 17mm glass lily pipes. The adjustable flow is nice, we'll see how that affects the rotor long-term. Didn't use the plastic balls it came with and replaced with ceramic media I had. The UV came just fine, not sure how often if at all I'll use it but nice to have I guess. Overall, pleased to with the performance-to-price. May update in a few months to a year. We'll see. Update from 10/06/2023: The filter has been chugging for almost 1.5 years now, everything is still going strong except the self-priming handle broke in the last month or so while I was repairing after a water change. The little handle that flips up to let you pull on the priming but is made of plastic and clips into both sides of the flat end piece on the priming piston. That part being broken makes it very hard to prime. If that didn't happen though, it would be still going strong. No leaks and not noisy so long as you don't have an intake that sucks in air (pipes with a skimmer). For the price, I can't really complain.

Had my canister filter going out friday night, luckily been in the hobby for so long thought me to always have a back up filter at hand so I always run two filters in my aquarium simultaneously, it has always worked great for me since I can clean one filter while the other one keeps running so no downtime there plus I can always move one canister filter to another aquarium making it cycle faster, but I digress! Again one of my filters stopped working, no idea what happened but it stopped pumping water, I attempted to clean it but is an old filter and parts are not easily available so I went ahead and order this one in a hurry, surprisingly the flow is really good and quiet, no leaks, it have uv light and a spare bulb, hoses are descent and plenty long, water spouts are plastic but unless you spend the money you won't get stainless steel, its a really good option for the price in my opinion.

Just started this up and so far it seems to be working but the instruction guide is very small without detailed instructions. If you’re familiar with canister filters then it should be easier but for the first timer as I was, it was very hard to follow and seemed to have an extra airflow valve controller that we could not figure out from the instructions of where it should actually go. It’s extremely quiet. The inlet and outlet tubings are very stiff and required blow dryer heat to work with. The setup that draws out the water was too long for a Standard 10 gallon tank so it took playing around with those parts to make it work. The picture in the manual also shows 3 baskets for the canister and it only came with you. I reached out to the email provided and nothing.

I wish I could give this a no star this item is poorly made it leaks water everywhere. Do not buy this item because you’ll be wasting your money. NEW UPDATE after I was telling one of my friends about this item he got one him self for his 55gal did the same thing leaking water from the sides so he wanted to try something as a test and he then hooked up to his 20gal tank wow who would have knew that what the compony said it can work for a 55gal they where wrong don't get 225GPH for a 55gal go bigger! Now I am going to get the next sizes up that has it for a 75gal to see if that would work for my 55 gal hope this will be my last buy. if I still have the problem I would be doing an update when I get the one for 75gal! Ok I got the one for the 75gal last week and OMG it is worth it no leaks I AM HAPPY THAT I BOUGHT THIS ITEM FISH TANK IS SO CLEAR. Yes I have it setting in the pan because I did not want a to have to clean up water again so I planed a head

No it is not a UK plug but I brought a power deductor for this, so it can be used in the UK. Know it's all up and running, wow what a Filter my tank has never been so clean and clear,even the fish are happier

Do not buy one of these. Silent operating, yes because they do not work. This has spluttered a couple of times but is pumping and filtering no water. Having had canister filters before decided to go back to one again. So now I am going to have to make a trip out to an aquarium store today to buy a replacement so my fish do not die. Once again do not buy this I have a lot of money for something that does not work.

Zero stars. Went looking at this I read the reviews and everything was great so when it arrived I took it out of the box and assembled it and got it all working and then got to the point where needed plugging in assuming that a plug change would be what it needs and it turns out that if you live in the UK you should not buy this appliance because it's 110 volts and if it was plugged into a socket in the UK it would sit on fire so now I have a setup filter that I now have to drain and put back in the box and send back. I am fuming. Turns out all of the reviews are from the US and there was no warning of that.

Have this canister running for 2 weeks now. Everything is included, filter media, bio balls, and even a spare UV lamp bulb. Easy to prime, unlike both my Fluval canisters. It's quiet like most canisters and the flow is adequate for small to medium sized tanks 30-50 gallons. So far so good, it is an incredible value for the price. Hope it lasts like my inexpensive SunSun canister going on 4+ years.

Initially, I didn't feel entirely confident upon observing the seal design, and that sentiment persists. It's not due to any immediate problem, but rather a concern that with time, the latches may weaken, potentially leading to a leak. However, there's a chance this may not occur. Currently, everything seems to be functioning as intended, and the UV light indicator is still active.
