Okay, so I was skeptical at first but this filter is LEGIT. After just 4 days, my water went from looking like pea soup to crystal clear. The algae didn't stand a chance!
The U-V light with timer is a game-changer. I set it to 6 hours and forget about it - no more remembering to turn it on/off. Plus that little viewing window? Genius touch so I can actually see the magic happening.
My fish are loving the extra oxygen too. My usually shy betta has been doing zoomies through the bubbles like he's at some underwater rave. The current isn't too strong though - just right for my 75-gallon setup.
Installation was easy peasy (though heads up - measure your tank first!). It works both horizontally and vertically which saved me when I realized my initial placement idea wouldn't work.
Only minor complaint: the suction cups could be better. Had to reattach them once already. But for the price and performance? Still totally worth it!
