I know this pump and filter aren't top of the line but I'm new to using powerheads however I have a tank of Danios who absolutely love the current powerheads create so I bought this powerhead plus sponge filter kit after a ton of research. Most reviews were good, I only found a few stating that the quality was poor so I gambled and ordered. It came packaged well and required more assembly than I expected however my hopes of it being of good quality quickly sunk. I lined up the fan like flow direction piece (don't remember what it's actually called) with the tiny spots on outflow pipe to put them together. As soon I pushed it enough for it to attach (two little tiny dots) and took my hand away. Seconds later, the fan flow outlet dropped into my lap along with a piece of black plastic, the secondary piece which holds that part on the actual powerhead. It will NOT attach without the part on there so it's just the regular output. I continued to assemble the rest of the parts per the instructions only to find that the bottom compartment with the 2nd sponge does NOT stay attached to the other sponge compartment! I had to have the bottom of it sit on top of the gravel so that it stays connected to the system which means the top of the powerhead is now only at mid tank level(tank is 18" tall). It's taking up floor space in my tank along with being an eyesore! It's an eyesore because since I can't spread out the outflow (or better yet use this powerhead higher up in the tank), I had to move this because it was damaging my live plants so it's now in plain sight. The Danios don't mind any of this, they love the strong current. My Bristlenose Pleco isn't too impressed with the lack of floor space since she used to 'hangout' where I had to put this thing. Since this tank is a display tank I am already searching for a replacement for this thing! Don't bother!Read full review

Works like a charm, great product with multi uses with some DIY ideas, however, it was a bit too strong and I had to clip the fins to slow it down-works great, I also got the 350 powerhead from them and made a spray bar for it- will buy from them again.

I bought this for my standard 55G. Says 40g and up but I feel like it’s abit weaker for my 55G. But it does what it’s supposed to. Just that half of my tank looks alive with the plants moving and the other half still looks dead because that half of plants is not moving.

Works okay, but the pre-filter, which is two pieces will not connect to each other. The three suction cups that hold the unit to the glass, two continual release.

So far this pump has been great, very quiet and so powerful. It was a great replace from previous one I used.
