Good filter
I like that this is self priming so I never have to put a cup of water in the top, it'll suck up water from the tank and start on its own. I have a 10 gallon glo fish tank kit from Petco, but it's very old so we now use it for Tetra fish variety. The pump after around 10 years stopped working so we got this Tetra brand fish filter to replace it. I like how there is a gear on the top to control flow, strong or light. I like how it includes extra parts for if you have a tall deep tank instead of a rectangular one like mine. The only problem with that is that the instructions were vague and I didn't understand for 20 mins what pump pieces to use for my tank. Also I don't like how it's so massive. Definitely bigger than my old one somehow it fit in my glo fish hole in the lid. But barley... Also I like that it came with 1 filter that way you can use it immediately and you know what to buy to replace it next time. I like that it includes a encased tip for in the water so that it doesn't suck up fish. Also this says it is supposed to be quiet, it's no different than any other filter. You don't hear motor noises if that's what it means but you'll hear the water flowing into the tank. Just like any other. Overall it's great for the price and it works. Has a few good things and a few bad. I recommend it

5.0 out of 5 stars Dependable, Quiet & Fair Price
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024
My daughter and I have used this same model from a previous purchase for over a year and it is still going strong. recently we wanted to setup more aquariums so obviously we wanted more of the same filters/pumps. Unfortunately as you see in the picture, one of the two plastic good bacteria inserts wouldn't fully seat when inserted. I tried switching sides and the same in plastic insert would not seat in either side, whereas the other one seated correctly in either side. I matched them both up together and didn't notice any difference between them but clearly there has to be some difference. Anyway, I thought that I should leave a review about this prior to returning it as defective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great pump
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024
It's a pretty good pump, has a very minor downfall but the operation of the pump itself is flawless....

The only downside I am experiencing is the lid of the pump is often rattling and be annoying would be easily fixed with some type of sealer for the lid to keep it from being plastic on plastic and help seal the lid on more secure

If not for that 1 minor flaw ide give it 5 stars it's easy to take apart and clean every single component 😌 and the pump itself really is quiet as you see it's in my room so I need to be able to sleep this pump is perfect 👌 I can make it almost like a really soft running creek noise and pass out almost instantly 😴😴😴😴
