The Cascade® 1000 Canister Filter can handle aquariums up to 100 gallons efficiently providing up to 265 gph of flow. Directional returns help to suspend waste matter so it can be taken in by the filter leaving nothing but clear, clear water. The large filter trays mean you can use more media and have longer periods between replacement. Another note, mine came with the filter media pre-loaded. As an fish tank owner for over 15 years, I’d always had the big old Penguin on the back of the tank. ive had one for 6 months now and i liked it so much and i liked the PRICE so much i decided to buy another one of the same type. Do I love this filter. The filter went inside and I shut the door. water flow is good they are very quiet and if you plan on running them in a cabinet you wont hear them run at all. Use any combination of media including bio-floss, bio-sponges, activated carbon and others to accomplish a wide array of aquarium filtration needs. after 3 minutes if you still see slight bubbles coming out that means you didnt set up the hoses right and you might have an air leak but thats not the pumps fault. Now I have media for when I need it. The priming of the pump was not the “press it four times and it will fill in a minute” the instructions said. A lot of the guys are $200-300. not from the intake or output hoses…its the water thats left in the canister…but its only id say about as much as you can fit in a tablespoon. A quick push-button primer makes start-ups easy and the two independent directional 360-degree rotational valve taps make placement worry-free. both 1000 due to the fact that i didnt hear very good things about the larger models and because i run a 75 saltwater with fish inverts and loads of live rock. as far as priming goes…you hook up the hoses…you pump the top button hard about 5 times and then by suction it will get its own airbubbles out. The popular cobalt blue color will look attractive next to your tank and the sturdy rubber mounted tip-proof rubber base keeps the unit in place. Flow-rate control valves and swimming pool-style hose clamps make setup and adjustment easy. The easy-lift clamps make it simple to release the vacuum and remove the top for changing media or other maintanance. the disconect feature is great but sometimes when i unhook the pump i spill a bit of water. NOTE at first it will blow bubbles untill it fills itself with water but this is for less than a few seconds. I have never had cleaner or clearer water in my tank. I had to take the carbon mesh bag out of the plastic it came in. I bought media for it with the “buy this with this” option. It does seem to have a LOT of muscle for a tank that size, but again, it’s doing an awesome job. I really like the profile of the top of my tank now....
