How do you attach the holder part?

Nice video!

What toll did you use to cut the lid? I'm having this issue now and am not sure what to use! Thanks

Hmm little large for my liking

Looks like a little gem

What would be a better filter than this one? Im looking to start a Dennerle 70L scape, its next to my bed so it must be quiet and I dont really have room for a cannister filter, any ideas?

Hey man, im getting ready to do this on my flex lid. Cheers

If you close the spraybar correct it will not leak

Did you buy that from aquacadabra?

I got one of these today. Its noisy af. The impeller has the same issue but it gets caught on a lip on the plastic

thanks for this fantastic internal fluval review Guy........it certainly seems like an awesome one!

I also have this filter for my breeding tank. Cheap and cheerful

Had my 55 Tidal running for two years in my bedroom. Absolute dead quiet. Yes it does quieten down after a couple of weeks. 10/10 on that. It's says it's self cleaning that isnt true. You have to remove propeller and clean including the housing. Not shrimp safe or fry safe. I wish this had more attachments included to make this shrimp safe. You can wrap the lead around the unit to tidy it up. Don't pack media basket right out as the blue indicator keeps popping up. I only use sponge that I have cut and floss. Definitely worth the money but on a personal note i prefer sponge filters.

these things are very expensive and vibrate badly especially against the rim of the tank plus the clog up quickly.

Nice vid mate,love the way you take things out the box,look at the sponge and media bag and say exactly what we all thinking lol loads of people rave about sicce and they are leaders in pumps but they always fall short in aquarium filters,case in point is the shark pro

I have the small one it's a little noisy but your review is bang on

If you take the venturi of water will stop spilling out at the spraybar feature, venturi create preasure

Poor designed. They are amde to keep ppl buying the replacement cartridges. Never buy a filter with a cartridge

Cheaper to buy 1,lol

Cool little filter we really like hang on the back type of filters if use them for many years like anything they have their issues and have to be maintained, but they are pretty inexpensive and do a fantastic job most at a time

Good video, but anything hidom is only fit for the bin

Thanks for this review - nicely laid out and thorough.

You should check out the new Hygger hang on back filters. I have bought one for a shrimp tank and it works spot on. Unigue design as the media is in the top.

Yeah your spot on,shrimp but nothing else and im sure they have sold alot for that

man these sure have come a long way Guy! This is a Dandy! They definitely need to work on better programming and many have made strides here but some unfortunately have not especially with power outages and having to reprogram....

The spare UV lamps are on the same Amazon page as the filter ( Link in the description )

No it aint

Thanks for the review of this tiny titan Guy!

Hi, I'm looking for an advise. I'd like to buy an internal filter which would be really quiet (tank in the bedroom), for 125l. Important: I don't want shrimp and clown kilifish being sucked (I'm even considering installing some kind of net if necessary). Fluval u4 is one of the options but I'm considering also: Sicce Shark adv 800 (I read it can be noisy and magnets are crap)/ Eheim biopower/ Oase Bioplus Thermo 200 (I don't understand how water could go through all the media in this one and there's no regulation of direction of the flow). Heard that Tetra EasyCrystal FilterBox is very quiet but is seems like it's too big piece of plastic. I just can't decide which one to choose! Also I don't want a filter with exposed sponge as it gets so dirty during the maintenance. I'd be grateful for any opinion, thanks.

I have the Fluval U2 and U3. They are decent filters with some minor issues. After about a month of initial use, the impeller and the cavity it sits in will need to be cleaned at least every couple of weeks, or the impeller will not start spinning on its own when you turn the filter off and back on. I think the impeller cavity is too narrow and gets packed with gunk too quickly. It can also be a pain to detach and attach the media housing to the frame and lock it in place. The U3 model specifically can be challenging to detach the media housing. I always have to fiddle around with it for a few minutes as it simply does not want to come out of the frame. I have to pull it up at a very precise angle for it to come out. Maybe it's just my unit, but I think there is improvement to be made to the way the housing detaches/attaches to the frame. Otherwise, these filters are pretty quiet and have decent amount of space for various filter media.

I’ve the u2 in my 60l it’s good filter and quiet

Definitely agree I've got one with big leaves plants and in my bigger tank fast growing stems and floating plants

Tight unit. My only concern is if you are "forced" to use the carbon?

Yeah it's bad science

Love these filter have the u 1 and u3

I think they are fantastic too❤

🎉 a fluval! I am a fluval fanboy,the u series never let me down

How did it look after a month? routing a canister for my 105L is turning out to be a nightmare but there would be room for one of these (there are a few similar ones around now)

Loving your content

I really like the video, very good work, greetings, from Spain, your friend, 👍1

Pretty awesome guy and you’re right for the most part they all make some kind of noise. What are the things that we do is fill up a tile and put it on top and then put a brick on top of it or some sort of weight like that, this seems to cut down on the vibration tremendously. It’s an old trick that we’ve talked about quite a few times, it works really well on one thing at a time

It's a bit Eck' considering it's Aquael

Worst heater in the world! Never get to 78F. Waste of money.

I got a fluval roma tank a while back but only setting it up now. I genuinely cant believe in the setup manual that they say "use only fluval cabinet" 😂 I genuinely wouldn't use any of their cabinets, theres very little support and theyre made of chipboard 😬 I made my own from solid wood, but im a woodworker so i know not everyone has the same option.

Don't always have to shell out the big bucks for a serviceable filter mate hey.

A very thorough and awesome review, sir. Thank you so much. It’s really neat that this has so many attachments and so many different things that I can do we used to run an air tube to a powerhead on an under gravel filter and get the same kind of air effect at this one seems to have which is kind of a neat idea, have something like that in a long time we’ve just been using the stacks the old-fashioned way the last few years but this is certainly a cool idea. Would probably be great for a beginner that doesn’t wanna spend a lot of money but still get something that’s gonna get the job done, being gentle on these types of cheap things will definitely help them last and that’s a great point….those dang suction cups seem to always be a problem don’t they even on some of the expensive ones….hope you’re having a great week!

Got some power for a tiny thing

Wish i had that when i had my biorb years ago,that pump was so loud

wow the air dissolved in the water is pretty good at the four corners

Fantastic pump
