I have purchased in tank pumps and they just didn't perform like they needed to. He always needed to have them cleaned/removed slash a pain in the butt. This thing has worked for a month and I'll be cleaning it sometime soon but as far as I'm concerned it is definitely better than the in-tank pumps... Less cleaning and better circulation of the water. I recommend this or I think there's like one or two higher than this. I don't recommend the lowest choice that they have this one is like number two on the list. Anyway, it's during the job and I think you'll be happy with it. Keep the tank above the pump the gravity of the water will help it not to stop pumping That's a must. The light should be stronger but it does what it does. I would enjoyed it more if it had a higher wattage for the UV light. Haven't had to clean the pump for the last 30 days which is so much better than in tank pumps I was having to clean those almost on a weekly basis if not twice a week. The amount of water this thing pushes through is good and does its job. Recommended. Update: The pump stopped working and is going back to desertcart. I'm opting for the next size up which I shouldn't have to because the tank is only about 15 to 20 gallons. However, I'm hoping the quality of the next size up will fix the issue with a stronger flow. I've lost quite a few fish due to the pump stopping and the heater overheating the tank due to lack of flow. This will be the third attempt. The first one was sent back because it never worked / the replacement worked for about 3 weeks and we shall see what the third one will do. It's got 30 days to impress or it will go back as well and with that I will switch to another brand. Hopefully, the extra power in the size up will allow it to function correctly and keep flowing instead of sitting there like a brick not doing anything. Will update... Review: No it is not a UK plug but I brought a power deductor for this, so it can be used in the UK. Know it's all up and running, wow what a Filter my tank has never been so clean and clear,even the fish are happier ## Features - AMOSIJOY CANISTER FILTER AMOSIJOY external aquarium filter runs at 172 GPH(650L/H), wattage is 8w, lift height is 3.9ft, dimension is 7’’ 7’’ 11.4’’.

Know it's all up and running, wow what a Filter my tank has never been so clean and clear,even the fish are happier ### ⭐ Review *by S***B on 1 August 2025* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - AMOSIJOY 172GPH Canister Filter, Ultra-Quiet External Aquarium Filter with Free Media for Large Fish Tanks and Aquariums (172GPH) - PurifyLogix Replacement Canister Filter Pads Compatible with AMOSIJOY 172/225/265GPH Aquarium External Filter, 6 White Floss and 2 Coarse Filter Pads for Coospider-repta 172/225/265GPH（8Pcs） - Shurex Replacement Cotton White Floss Pads and Activated Carbon Sponge Bio Filter Pads Refill Kit for AMOSIJOY Aquarium Canister Filter, Compatible with Coospider-repta Canister Filter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/396870133-amosijoy-172gph-canister-filter-ultra-quiet-external-aquarium-filter-free](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/396870133-amosijoy-172gph-canister-filter-ultra-quiet-external-aquarium-filter-free) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
