Friday, September 30, 2011 Aqueon Aquarium Power Filter 20 - up to 20 Gallon Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have two of these filters - one installed on a 10 gallon and the other on a 20 gallon tank.
These work great with little maintenance needed on my part.Just clean the end of the pickup tube from time to time and change the filter cartridge when needed and you are all set.Changing the cartridges is very easy and not messy.Cleaning the pickup tube does require pulling the end off, rinsing it outand reinstalling.I have yet to have to remove the filter completely from the tank (after more than a year of use).
The cartridges last a reasonable amount of time as I am getting between 4 and 5 weeks of use out of them before they need replacing.
Overall, no complaints here - works just like the Aqueon says it does!

Sunday, April 3, 2011 LARGE CARTRIDGE 6PK Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I like these filters better than the kind where you add your own charcoal because the charcoal won't simply fall to the bottom of the filter on these Aqueon filter cartridges. They have stitching - kind of like on a down comforter - that keeps the charcoal in separate little pockets. I think that gives you more total surface area for your filter.It's also faster to replace a filter like this and you won't spill charcoal all over the place trying to fill it.I've read that some doctors believe charcoal is very bad for you and you should be careful not to breath any into your lungs.

Saturday, February 19, 2011 AQEN WATER CHANGER 25FT Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Aqueon water changing system is a simple device that makes aquarium maintenance a snap.Back in my younger days, I used to use a cheap gravel siphon and buckets to change my water.This took up a considerable amount of time, was often very messy, and would stress my fish out.
I later upgraded to a sand substrate instead of gravel (don't have to siphon the the bottom floor anymore, just skim the top :)), bought a python system and was finishing my weekly water change in less than 15 minutes. However, the plastics in the python system wore out over time and I was having issues with leaks. The problem with the python system is that it uses plastic threading to choose either suction or fill mode- this part of the system wears out very quickly, especially if you use sand because it grinds against the thread when you are constantly twisting. I personally think the python manufacturer designed it this way so that the owner has to buy new replacement parts, which often cost almost a third of the entire system.
After my python system became useless, I bought this Aqueon system to see how it compares and it's MUCH better in terms of reliability and build quality.The aqueon system plastics will not wear out as quickly as the python system because the suction/fill selection uses a switch to turn it on or off.There is no pulling or twisting to be done here to turn suction on and off, so the threading is not worn out.
I really don't know why the Python system is so much more popular, the Aqueon system is far better in my opinion. I've owned both systems, and you cannot go wrong with the Aqueon system!
Spend the extra 15 or 20 dollars over the cheapy gravel filters and buy a real system like the Aqueon- you'll be saving lots of time, stress (on yourself and your fish), and workload.
