172GPH Canister Filter, Ultra-Quiet External Aquarium Filter with Free Media for Large Fish Tanks and Aquariums (172GPH)

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.

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.

Have been using on a 40 gallon Hex tank for over a year with no issues. Easy to maintain, my only regret is not buying the bigger one. UV bulb hasn't needed to be replaced yet.

Didn't even last a year...motor crapped out. Wouldn't waste money. It's a cheaper price for a reason 👎
