Penn-Plax Cascade 1000 Aquarium Canister Filter – 265 Gallons per Hour

I have a pleco and a turtle and boy was my tank a mess every day. This filter has been running for about three weeks now and it cleaned up everything. I can hardly hear it and it's right near my bed. If this lasts a good long time, I'll definitely will replace it with the same company.

i love my newest canister filter! i was coming from a similar eheim 2217 canister and really have no other experience with others. I chose this because i have a 60 gallon tank and it seemed to be a good value. ive had it about 6 months and have no complaints! the water pressure is still good and im very happy with it!

I love this filter! It is so powerful and fairly quiet! Cleans like a dream.

I bought for my red eared slider tank. Theis was extremely easy to hook up and surprised how easily it primed!! I have heard horrible stories of people buying really expensive filters only to fight putting it together and then getting it primed was another fight. Not this one! Easy peasy! Make sure your knife is sharp if you have to cut the heavy duty tubes to fit your desired length. So far I'm very pleased. Wish I had bought this from the beginning with my turtle!

I think its a great product I bought it for my turtle in a 40 gallon breeder tank. IT HAS STRONG FLOW. MOTOR ITSELF IS VERY QUIET however if you leave sprayer above water, its very loud. I turn mine down on the levers or sometimes I leave sprayer under the water. Great product for $60 compared to others.

Wish I would've spent the money on this filter a long time ago. WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!! I should add this does come with EVERYTHING YOU NEED. Like the hoses and spray bar and filter inserts, etc. For some reason they just don't have that in the picture. I'll add a picture to my review if I can. I use on my 55 gallon tank with Goldfish and a Pleco. This filter works amazing and is super quiet. I've been using for a week and tank is Crystal clear. Love it!! Again I have to say this thing is super quiet and worth the money!

Very easy to set up. I've been running the filter with no fish in the water so i can't speak on how well it cleans the water. It was a pleasant surprise to find out if they had a handle.

Makes the water crystal clear in a 55 gal aquarium. The charcoal gets replaced every 6 months, the rest of the filter elements are washable. The initial cost is a lot higher than the cartridge style filters but they work great and require way less maintenance. Glad we bought it. It looses a star because I found the self priming a little difficult.

I have not had this filter longer than 6 months and the intake valve is leaking not something I can put Teflon tape on it's the actual little knob you turn to shut off the water coming into the filter as a slow steady leak customer service has been horrible supposably there is a 3 year manufacturer warranty but they will not cover anyting

Was excited for this filter but disappointed now. It is not clearing the cloudy water in my 55 gallon tank. I did not want to use water clarifier but now I have to.
