Rating Snapshot
Review this Product
Customers say
Customers praise the filter for delivering crystal-clear water within hours, with many highlighting its powerful performance in large or high-waste tanks. Reviewers consistently note its exceptional ability to remove fine particles and suspended debris, making it ideal as a polishing supplement. However, a significant group reports loud operation and noise issues, while several mention impeller failures after about a year of use. Some customers find the bulky design difficult to hide and criticize the mounting system as awkward. Despite durability concerns and noise complaints, most reviewers consider it effective for water clarity.

Questions

Helpful?
I have this filter but lost the part that attaches to the filter itself and to suction cups to put on the side of the tank. Is there somewhere I can get that piece by itself?
IS THIS A DIATOM FILTER? If not.. does Marineland make a diatomaceous earth filter ??
- You can use DE with this filter when you use the micron cartridge.
Helpful?
Can this be mounted horizontally? I have a 20g long for my turtle and bought this not realizing it was so tall. and now that I've used it I can't return it.
- I would think it would be ok sideways. the filter and the media is all contained so it doesnt require gravity to trickle through or hold the media in place. As long as it will stay sideways I say go for it!
Helpful?
Is this filter quite enough for use in an aquarium located in a bedroom?
- I would not put this in a bedroom. It is extremely loud. It has an annoying buzzing sound right out of the box.
Helpful?
Can I use this filter for 10 gallon tank
- It would not fit very well, and would create a serious turbulence, leading to a lot of microbubbles.
Helpful?
Do the replacement filters come with a new oring on the magnum internal filter?
- Thank you for your question. No, o rings do not come with any replacement media. That would be a separate spare part you would need to order through Marineland.
Helpful?
Would this filter be ideal for my 75 gallon aquarium or would it take up to much space?
- Thank you for your interest in this Marineland filter, kingaqua79! This filter would work very well for a 75 gallon tank. As to whether it would take up too much space or not, we don't think so, but that is a bit of a personal preference so you may think otherwise. The filter is approximately 10" high by 4" at the widest point. Hope the dimensions help.
Helpful?
How many gallons of water is it for?
- Thank you for your interest in this product! It is rated for up to a 100 gallon tank. Minimum recommended size would be around 45 gallons, depending on type of inhabitants.
Helpful?
Can this filter be used in saltwater tanks??
- Thank you for your question! Yes, it certainly can be used in marine tanks as well as fresh water. Keep in mind you need to maintain filters more often when used in marine tanks.
