I have tried dozens of different brand of outside, hanging, power filters. Marineland's Emperor filter beats them all in performance and reliability. I've been in this hobby for over 40 years so I know a thing or two about filters. Every tank over 25 gallons should have at least one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Money Well Spent!!, July 28, 2007

I went and did research for the pricing of this filter for a while. I even went as far as going to 5 diffrent aquarium stores and also petco branches. But by far amazon gives the best deal. When it arrived I was so excited I installed it instantly and within 3 - 5 hours water was crystal clear. I have never seen such a great filter. Noise lvl is minimal and filters perfectly. 101% recommended!!! A+++++++++++++

I can't tell you how many cheaper filters I broke prior to owning this one. It was well worth the investment and broke my pattern of buying a new filter every 6 months or so. It finally needed replacement after 3 years, but only because it was damaged during moving.
I have a sand aquarium with african dwarf frogs, but their upkeep isn't that different from most freshwater fish. I would highly recommend this filter to anyone who's tired of breaking filters and wants something tougher. This filter is a champ, and has dealt with an aquarium no other filter could handle.
