180GPH Hand on Filter for Aquariums，20-40 Gallon，Silent Multi-Stage Filtration for Fish Tank，Or Ultra-Low Water Level Turtle Tank，Increase Water Flow and Oxygen Power Filter

I have used a lot of filters in my day, and you can’t beat a canister for filtration efficiency. But for smaller setups they are typically too powerful, so most folks just slap a HOB power filter on and call it a day. This is a totally legit HOB canister! Build quality is good. 20-40 gallon tank perfection!!!UPDATE: So I liked this thing so much, I ordered two more to convert all my HOBs over. Unfortunately, I prefer the spray bar implementation, and both new filters are missing the small length of straight pipe that connects the output arm to the spray bar.There is another version of the little pipe that I attempted to use that has the nipple on it to add the aerator when using the directional nozzle, but it’s sloppy and doesn’t work right.Apparently the only option is to return the items and hope the next two have the tiny pipes. I am not pleased with this from a customer service and an environmental perspective.So we are shipping whole units around the country and presumably back to China for two small lengths of pipe that fit in a match box? We need to do better than that. Can I get some help here?

When I first placed the device in my turtle tank, it worked perfectly. However, when it came time to replace the internal filter, I was shocked to discover that the company does not sell replacement filters, nor are they available anywhere else on the market.This is incredibly frustrating, especially since the manual clearly states the filter must be replaced every 7–8 weeks. Selling a product without offering the necessary replacement parts turns it into a disposable item and forces customers to buy a whole new device. It’s a waste of money and completely unreasonable.

I would classify this filter as a HOB, but with canister features. I highly recommend this because of its media baskets (×5). A lot of these HOBs have cartridges that get costly having to purchase over n over. With these style baskets you have 4 sponges to catch waste, medium(blu), fine(wht), and carbon impregnated(blk). And you can add whatever biomedia you choose. This worked perfectly right out of the box. Good flow (180gph) for small tank. May even need to turn it down a bit. Control knob on outlet regulates the flow. Just turn it.So far out performing SunSun HOB 803. SunSun is slightly bigger but less flow (132 gph). SunSun flows from top down while Berfaza flows from bottom up. Again so far I prefer this over the SunSun/(rebranded in UK as Allpond solutions 803 HOB). SunSun is not a bad filter I just had pump heads quit on me... This one had no issues. Just plug n go, lots of flow...

Does just what I hoped for. Added length of tube does make it awkward to clean pump but worth the hassle for the clean surface

Liked the product at first, it's low profile hang in the tank, all the adjustable features, it's kept the tank water moving and filtered, almost seven months in it simply lost flow, after inspection there should be no reason for this and now you plug it in and it runs full power for any where form 10 minutes to a couple hrs, unplugging it for a day it will temporarily work again, maby it's just mine? Would like to try another one if I could trust I would get more than seven months of use!

I’ve only been using this unit for a few days now it works great. However, the Venturi tube does not work at all even with the different options for outlet it just fills with water. It’s also very cheaply made, and you must be careful adjusting taking it apart of moving it. It is very quiet, we will see how long it lasts.

I have two turtles in 20 gallon tank and they arent full grown yet. This filter wasn't the easiest to open up or put together. Worked fine for the first month then the water flow started getting less and less now it barely trickles out. I have to buy another filter and I haven't even had this one for a year.

The quality of the materials used for this are sadly lower quality than some others I want. I also see why they have surface skimmer as an additional piece, it isn’t included in the original purchase without spending like 15 additional for it. So although I love the looks of this it just isn’t being kept and I’m going with a higher quality one that also includes a surface skimmer for same price
