Fluval 50 Power Filter – Aquarium Filter for 20 to 50 Gallon Fish Tanks – Quiet Energy Efficient Pump – Mechanical, Chemical & Biological Filtration – Easy Install & Maintenance (Packaging May Vary)

I’m really impressed with the Fluval 50 Power Filter. Within just a few hours of setting it up, my aquarium water went from cloudy to crystal clear. It runs quietly, is easy to install, and provides strong filtration without being too bulky. The build feels high quality and durable, and I like that the media compartments are customizable for different filtration needs. My fish are thriving, and the tank looks cleaner than ever. Definitely worth it if you want reliable, efficient filtration for your aquarium.

I purchased an AquaClear 50 Power filter for my 29 gallon freshwater tank. This filter replaced an Aqua Tech 30-60 model which would not keep my water clear unless I replaced the cartridges every week (as you can imagine, that was getting ridiculously expensive). My fish kept looking sick and I eventually decided it was the filter not working right (I had an Aqua Tech 20-40 before and that one didn't work either; thought bigger filter is better but apparently not with that brand). Anyway, I installed this filter in the evening and at the time my fish were REALLY sick looking and I was of course checking on it often hoping it would work. The next morning the water was still cloudy and my fish weren't behaving much different, so I did a 10% water change (changing too much water + new filter = trouble). Ten percent really isn't much, so the water was still cloudy. I did notice that 24 hours after installing the filter, my fish began to look slightly better and a bit more active. Within 36 hours this filter made my tank water crystal clear! (See my product images for before & after shots.) I just purchased a 2nd Aqua Clear 50 because I do have a few messy fish in my tank and this filter only moves 200 gallons per hour - for a 29 gallon tank it should be moving about 230 gallons minimum. I didn't buy a larger model because I have only about 2.5" between the back of my tank and the wall. If you have that issue, here are the approximate measurements of the unit and how much space you need between tank and wall: AquaClear 20: 5"L X 4"W X 6"H with 2 1/2" of the width behind the tank AquaClear 50: 7"L X 4"W X 6 1/2"H with 2 1/2" of its width behind the tank AquaClear 70: 8 1/2"L X 6"W X 8"H with 3 3/4" of its width behind the tank AquaClear 110: 13 1/2"L X 6 3/4"W X 9"H with 4" of its width behind the tank Will try to update about longevity once I've had it a while. So far, minimal noise, easy to install, no problems! Fish are very active, they like it! Update (6/12): The first filter I got leaked by the cord. It did cause some water damage to my stand (wood). Thankfully my 29-gallon background was folded at the bottom and it caught most of the water in the fold. I contacted Amazon and they sent a replacement with 1-day shipping. My 2nd 50 filter worked while the first was being replaced so I was glad I had 2 to start out. Despite the leak, I still purchased more of these filters for another tank I set up and am not changing my 5-star rating. I really feel these are the best out there! One suggestion, though, be sure to place something behind your tank, under the filter in case it leaks, and check it regularly. I'm going to use a Rubbermaid container (with the lid off). I have not had problems with any of the other filters leaking, hopefully it was just that unit and not a common thing.

I’ve bought just about every brand of HOB filter. Some lasted a few months, one came with a tank and was so noisy I tossed it and then there are the aquaclear filters - as far as I’m concerned, they are the only HOB filter I’ll buy for a 5 gallon and above tank and here’s why: 1. They are easy to get started 2. Super easy to find accessories if you want a baffle to control the flow speed or a filter end cover to protect tiny fish or shrimp from being sucked up 3. Quiet - yea you heard me - these are quiet! 4. You can use whatever media you want. You don’t have to buy their cartridges. This is huge in the longer run 5. They keep running Ok so that’s my perspective as someone who has purchased other name brands and had to toss some almost immediately, others a few months in. These just keep running. One note: buy up a size - if it says 10-30 gallons, and the next size says 30 - 50 gallons and you have a 30 gallon tank. Get the bigger one. You will have less water issues with better filtration. Now I am an over-filterer… I usually run a HOB and a sponge filter. For sponges I like a few brands - but this review is about the aquaclear. I don’t need to use a sponge filter but I like to over filter. On big tanks (I’m a weenie in aquarium terms- when I say big for me that’s 75 gallons) I will use a HOB and a sponge and a canister. (Yes - I am an admitted over filterer) - and yes I change my water by 10-25% every week on smaller tanks (30 gallons and under. And every other week on my big tanks - up to 75 gallons). Unless my water tests (using the actual API water test - not strips) show I need to take action. I tend to heavily plant my tanks and I don’t overstock with fish or shrimp. I figure I’ll do what I can to keep fish alive since they have no control. Anywho - buy one of these if you are looking for a steady Eddie HOB that will keep working and not cost you and arm or leg to replace media over time. (Not that I change media that often since that’s where most the beneficial bacteria live anyway) Note: My water tends to be a bit brown as I use a bunch of leaves and other botanicals to keep my fish and shrimp healthy and happy. It works!

Buen filtro de cascada

Très bonne qualité

ein sehr guter kleiner Filter für Aquarien, leichte Handhabung und Anbringung, der Filter arbeitet leise. Die Reinigung des Filters ist einfach und schnell möglich. Dadurch, dass er außen am Aquarium hängt, nimmt er innen keinen Platz weg.Hat eine gute Leistung und ist praktisch in der Handhabe. Alles bestens.

Excellent filter easy maintainance well stood the test of time does a fantastic job keeping aquarium clean and clear highly recommened can be used with media and sponges of ur choice

Excellent product only 1 problem the power plug 🔌 on the cable isnt for Australian application it has a European power plug on the cable 😳 but thats easily fixed by using an adapter besides that its a great product and good value for its price 😀
