Product Description

Aqueon QuietFlow Power Filters and cartridges were designed with the fish and the aquarist in mind. Our patented designs include unique features to enhance water quality and clarity, increase oxygen levels and lessen noise. Aqueon QuietFlow Power Filters feature four stages of filtration-mechanical, chemical, biological and wet/dry-for the cleanest, clearest, healthiest water. Higher flow rates ensure higher dissolved oxygen content for healthier, more active fish. The internal pump design helps dampen noise, eliminates leaks and starts up automatically after cleaning or power interruptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars best filter for the money, June 29, 2011

This review is from: Aqueon 06078 QuietFlow 55 Power Filter, 250GPH (Misc.)

I have purchased 3 of these filters over the past year. Replaced cartridges with 1" thick foam. Filter moves a lot of water. Filters used under heavy load conditions-well fed koi and large fish. No noise problem as tanks kept full. Enhanced filtration by stuffing filter floss in open areas. Only complaint is that intake tube falls off easily. Plan to solve this by gluing tube in place.

This review is from: Aqueon 06078 QuietFlow 55 Power Filter, 250GPH (Misc.)

This filter works well, I personally find if your tank has enough water in it there is no water hitting water sound. When I do start hearing the water I know my tank needs a few gallons. That said my down side is the spinning propeller needed to be replaced after 5 months. I could wash it off and it would work, but it got really noisy. This is a 75 gal. tank but only has 7 small fish and I bought the Aqueon because the cascade 1000 was such a disappointment, so I have 2 filters on my tank. The point is it is not over worked. The frequent filter changes I solved with the Grab it dry dust and allergen clothes. they have no additives so wrapped around the filters helps the filters work MUCH better and they can be tossed in the washing machine and used over and over.
