Set up is pretty simple. But it was quite tricky getting the water primed through the hoses. Perhaps it would be good to cut the hoses to measure.
Ever since I discovered canister filters, I wanted one. I thought they were for really big aquariums. I have a 20 gal black frame aquarium and I found the Polar Aurora 265GPH just perfect. The hose connecting to the tank was made for a frameless tank, but you'll figure it out if you have a frame, not that bad. I put it all together in about 20 min or so. Hoses go on a little tight, but a little patience and hot water and its done. I have been running this filter for almost a month looking for leaks and found none. I just love it, clear crystal water , and the fish love playing in the currant. Some of the reviews talk about the noise,?????, Unless you stick your ear to the unit, it is absolutely silent, I wondered at first if it was even on. I you want a canister filter, you have to start with this one, Have fun!!!
We did have some hard time assembling this by trial and error because this is our first canister filter. We couldn't pump the air out of the canister to get hoses filled with water at the beginning so my husband opened the top when we were trying to pump the air out. I guess that he didn't close the top well enough so 2 days later the filter started to leak. And I posted a question on the product listing. Some buyers answered my question sooooo thoroughly that we fixed the problem fast, which was caused by our own error when setting up the filter. Then the filter is working perfectly. Our fishes are super happy there. Water quality is amazingly good. My husband said our fish tank had never been this clean!!!!!! Hope this can really last! The built-in motor is very quiet! You almost hear nothing!!!
i got this for my 75 gallon tank. better than i thought it would ever be as compared to the big boys.the in/out valves are labeled incorrectly. no real instructions. works great with an easy change uv light. i actually bought a second one.
Great canister filter for extra media space on my reef. The spray bar %26 divertable outlet head to use to function almost as a "power head" is a great feature. Instead of just creating flow, it gives me extra bio-bed too. Lots of media tray space %26 great flow. Priming button an added plus.
The only thing that has helped to keep my turtles water clean
Great product at an amazing price, fast delivery as well. if you're looking for a canister filter, this is for you!!
The light that comes with it doesn't have a good sealant therefore it will get wet and won't work
Uv light went out, tried replacing and it no longer works.
The canister has good pressure and was easy to hook up. The MAJOR negative is it's super noisy. It ran silent for a minutes at first then it started making this terrible high pitched sound. It was driving ten animals crazy. I've taken it apart 3 times and put it back together to the book. It just won't go away unless if you shake/move the canister back and forth, and then it just disappears for a few seconds. Total disappointment. I've seen some people say they have had zero issues with theirs . Guess I just picked a bad one
