Did my research and people couldnt tell the difference from the Emperor 400. So i bought this since it’s price tag was way cheaper than the 400. Ive been running this for about 2 months on my 75 gallon tank. I have an Oscar and they’re messy eaters and leave particles in the water from some certain types of foods. The particles dissapear after 20 minutes due to the power filter’s water gallon suction ratio. I completely love how silent it is. You need to fill the tank up to at least the waterfall lips of the filter so you wont hear the water splashing. Good good stuff here.

I have a 55 gallon community tank with angels, pleco’s, clown loaches, and cory cats. Some messy fish, but this filter carries the load. My only recommendation is to clean the intake tube with each water change. It gets pretty gunked up, very easily.

bought this for my 56 gallon bowfront, works pretty good, cleared the water up real nice and definately sucks a lot of water, can actually see it pulling the water in. Was worried about it priming based on other reviews but i have seen no such problem thus far. Only 4 stars because it is a little loud, we sit 20 feet away from it when we watch tv and i can hear it, not enough to ruin things but when you walk over to it the sound is definately there. Would recommend as long as it isnt going in your bedroom.

I’ve had this product for almost 1 year and it is still running. I clean it by hand once every six months. The filters are easy to replace, and so are the bio-wheels if you ever really needed to replace them. Comes with an extension extra that is not the most needed thing ever but is very helpful if you actually do need it.

The best I have ever used . I have two 30gl. African Cichlid set-ups that I keep over crowded to cut down on the fighting for territory and a 30 gal . community tank and these filters do a great job with the bio-load of each . The bio-wheels do a great job of polishing the water , and a great place to grow good bacteria, this is why they slow down after they been used for awhile , the Bio-wheels build up bacteria and muck , simply rinse them off in dechlorinated water that is the same temp. as your tank water so you do not kill off the bacteria and they will continue to serve you well . Easy to change filters , which I change only one at a time so as not to remove all the bacteria in my filters . And even after my own laziness of going weeks without cleaning it , it will run smooth and whisper quiet . I have never had a problem with noise on any of my 3 Penguin 350 filters , after a water change or power outage just a little shot of water in it to prime it and it starts right up just as quiet as before , and sometimes that is not even needed as the water that was left in it will prime it for me . I will never use any other filter .
