For the price I absolutely love it. Cleaned my fully planted dirt sand capped tank very well. Runs quiet when set up right. I have lower water level and love the waterfall sound, but thats mine for mystery snails. Higher water level don't even know it's running. I used tubbing clips because it doesn't sit the way I like on tank, but again that's a me thing. Instructions tho are horrible. Especially for someone who's never had a canister filter before. Patience with photos and the obvious looking it was pretty simple setup. No videos online yet. There's some small design flaws with the waterfall tubbing. Bends too much with 3 and no obvious ways to fix that, but I have 2 on with no issues. 1 would work fine too, but I like the sound. Overall I'm extremely satisfied. No pre sponge for filter intake so if you don't have several sitting around will want to grab some if you have plants or fry. Haven't cleaned yet, but I can't see any issues you have trays so seems simple lift, rinse, repeat thru all the trays. Photo was when new, so have it protected for any leaks, but almost 3 weeks later no leaks. Great price for great quality.
