These filters are awesome. I have one on my planted 40 breeder and I am beyond satisfied with it. They are easy to assemble thanks to the instruction booklet and instructional dvd that comes with it. Tons of media capacity inside of this filter. I will only be using these from now on.

After purchasing two Rena filters I almost gave up and got a hang on filter. Im so glad I decided to go with it. I got the 305 and I love it. It was simple to set up and works a lot better than I had expected. Its also easy to clean and to get started again. As far as the priming lever, I have had no problem with mine, but Ive only had to prime it once, and its ready to use again. I would highly recommend this to ANYONE!

I have the Fluval 405 on my 40 gallon turtle tank and it has done wonders for clearer water. If you know anything about turtles they are very messy critters but the Fluval 405 takes it like a champ. I usually clean it every weekend when I do my 50% water change. Cons: The only thing I have to complain about is the plunger mechanism that is supposed to prime the filter. Mine seems to be warped now and it does not create enough vacuum or suction to prime the filter anymore. No worries though as I just fill it up before I put everything back together.

I own a FX5, 2 405's, 1 205 and 2 105's. Every one of them are great and easy to maintain. The only thing I would gripe about is the primer plunger on the smaller units. Some work like a champ, some take a little coaxing.

I think the filter works great. only trouble I have is a small part - the impeller cover - keep breaking so advise keeping some replacements on hand. Ours breaks about twice a year.

This is a great pump for our turtle tank. The turtles are not able to rip off any of the parts so I don't need to worry about their safty. During the winter we only need to change out the filters once a month. Pretty low maintenance.

Got the 205 filter to replace a hang on power filter for a 20 gallon tank and I really like it. The filter cleared the water in a few hours, I even bought the polishing pads and it made the water super clear. Only had it for a few weeks but I like how the filter is quiet, had no problems priming it, like how there is a quick disconnect for the hose system, just need to fully read the instructions or watch the dvd. Am going to buy the 405 for my turtle tank.

Easy to set up and quiet. However the priming mechanism leaves a lot to desire. The priming mechanism consists of a small plastic plunger. Well, the one I got was warped and did not create any vacuum/suction. So I had to manually fill the pump before making the connections and then manually fill the intake to push all the air out. It works fine. However, Fluval needs to look into this. One small $2 item can ruin the $200 marvelous filter.

The 100 gallon Fluval canister filter 5 has met my hopes and gone beyond my expectations. It is keeping the turtle tank clean, clear and the filter is SUPER quiet. A+++ Highly recommend!

WOW! I HAD THREE DIFFERENT FILTERS GOING AND STILL HAD TO CLEAN MY TANK EVERY 3 DAYS. FLUVAL IS A GREAT FILTER AND I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT. THE TANK WATER HAS STAYED CLEAN FOR OVER TWO WEEKS NOW! I CAN'T BELIVE IT! WELL WORTH THE PRICE! IT'S POWERFUL ENOUGH TO KEEP A TANK AT SEAWORLD CLEAN! LOVE IT!

We bought the Fluval 405 filter for our Turtle tank. It is great. The water stays clear and it is quiet. Best of all we were amazed at how easy it was to take apart and clean. the plastic modular parts rinse clean in no time. Well worth the money.

I bought a 100 gallon aquarium (all inclusive) from an individual. I never got the filters! I had 2 big HOB filters..boy was I shocked to fine that I was STILL under filtrated!! I got a Fluval 104 (Now 105) and that put me way over !!

I LOVE my Fluval!! It does a great job!! It is so easy to use & keep maintained!! I like that I can use media in it to suit MY aquarium needs!

I recommend them to anyone!!

Recently set up a 120 gallon tank and could not believe how quiet this filter runs!!!

The new fluval 405 replaced my "Whisper " back-of-the-tank mounted filter. It's so quiet I had to check to be sure it was operating! Cleaning is only slightly more time consuming, but needs to be done less often, so that's a fair trade-off. However there is some difficulty finding the charcoal and replacement foam pads.

It is great experience to visit this website. The price is compatible with variable selection. I will come back again.

Love these new fluval filtration systems. I bought a fluval 305 for my 70 gal community tank, which had a little alge bloom problem. Hooked the pump up and about 30 minutes later i was almost drinking the tank water. GO FLUVAL!

Had a standard hang on filter and needed something to really clean my tank and keep it healthy. The Fluval not only solved my problem but exceeded my expectations. Great quality, Great Price, I will shop here again!
