Aqueon Quiet Flow Hang On Back Filter Unbox/Install/Review.

[@BARCAFANX10]

Loving that you leave the hiccups in the videos. Makes it more relatable

[@bebopjazzsax]

Thank you for all your fish help over the years!

[@seandroid23]

Love these filters, I've had an aqueon 20 running for 5 years now and a aqueon 75 running for about a year with zero problems. They are quiet with the exception of the lid occasionally which I will say is more frequent with the larger one but not enough to really bother me since I usually just poke it and it's quiet again. The pump being in the water means that it doesn't require priming which is simply easy and also safe for power failure. It will restart with no problems. Great review, looking forward to the next one. 👍

"Its got the little retractable hose. Its kinda cute" lol thats what she said

Gale Boetticher from Breaking Bad! Nice try concealing your identity bro!

[@deadbythuglife6836]

Thats what biden said

[@timrussell89]

These are my favorite hob filters. I have two running in our living area and they are super quiet and efficient. Oh and I'm also glad you addressed that the filter cartridges are not just straight trash. Yes they are an expense but a fish tank is an expense. Sure cutting your own media can save a lot of money and last longer but cartridges are fine if thats what somebody wants to use.

[@AnthonyMartinez-ke8jy]

That's a good filter I like it

[@lemonlizard1]

I initially set it up wrong and ended up taking it down since it had very strong flow and was too noisy. But after watching this video I decided to give it another try and it's really good. I personally removed the carbon from the filter cartrages (so that they can be kept in the tank long-term) and placed in some hob filter sponges. That way I can use it long-term without killing a bunch of beneficial bacteria unnecessarily

"10 gallon... NO... 30 GALLON!" "...SEADOO!?" 😂😂 Just breathe, it'll be alright... we still love you... lol... ...And I know you called this "lots of doohickies".. but I, personally, preferred the Doobalee-doos, myself! 😁 You've got all the best words, John! 😉 Hope you, and Lisa, have a wonderful holiday week. 🐟❤🦃

[@jenniferahough4983]

Yeah the thingy goes on the the whatsit with the whatdamacallit adding the thingy with the doohickie. I totally understand as John speaks my language 😁

[@Micegift]

@@jenniferahough4983 I am exactly the same, I used to drive my husband mad with it, everytime he'd ask me where a certain object was, I would just say either it's in the "whatsit thing" or next to the whatsit. As this is a family forum, I'd best not repeat his usual response, lol! 😂😂😂

[@EezoTheChezo]

@@Micegift holy

[@pckilla187]

When I had that I placed an intake sponge on it. I also replaced the cartridge with fluval biomedia and medium to fine sponges. I also replaced the small sponge that's on the outflow with filter floss. Kept my water cleaner and less media clean up. Loved it.

[@melaniewahl845]

Thank you for breaking it all down in simple beginner terms! I need to upgrade my tank size due to a sudden guppy population explosion but I'm still a beginner and need a tutorial on how to use the simple devices. This was the perfect video for us beginners Thank You!!!

[@noahhamilton1738]

i used to have an aqueon quietflow 10 and it was as loud as a horn. we took it back to the store and bought a marineland filter, and it is like the best filter ever. thanx john

[@3desheria]

Thanks you soooooo much - I have bought multiple filters because I thought they wasn't working come to find out the water level was too low the whole time - saved me another $40

[@johnbeard2704]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this filter. It's super silent and it keeps my water squeaky clean. The submerged pump is great for power loss (or a cat that likes to unplug things) because it prevents dry-running.

[@CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

Like that Aqueon has the auto start in water motor, like Tidal. It just doesn't have enough media basket room. It still relies heavily on buying inserts. I do use a few and put prefilter sponges on them. Thanks for the reviews John.

[@dwsnono9104]

I actually put other media in my aqueon filters and I have 5 of them. I love them.

[@CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

@@dwsnono9104 I like them too, but wish I could get more media in the baskets. The pre filter sponges help. I just counted five tanks with them still on them. As I lose one I replace them with Tidals.

[@raymondbardeen6450]

having the pump in the water is great for priming especially after a power interruption... but the quiet running is a bonus.

[@diydesignbuilds2004]

I'm in need of a few filters and would like the filter. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. Been watching for about 8 months now and you keep on helping me in the hobby since I began through your videos.

[@Mofski1]

Haha cat is trying to tell you what the red light does...

[@redarmysoja]

The light means feed the cat.

[@LocalBreadCreature]

An indicator came with my aqueon filter ,and after a day or two ,the light went off multiple times and I changed the filter and it stopped. Also,love that you don’t put ads in the video.

[@jim.cicchitti.4295]

Really like this filter bought it at Petco with a 29 gallon tank. Thanks for your videos really appreciate it.

[@minacruz8804]

I just got my first fish tank and this video helped me to understand the mechanics operation to a filter. Thank you!

[@zachrikimoto1801]

Do you find your motor making a loud noise

[@Giardintek]

Thanks John. Have one of these on a 10=gall tank, it came with the package, but not a big fan of it, It gets clogged up often and it's loud, plus it need replacement filters that you have to buy, Not much customization options, Can't wait to replace it with an AquaClear or Tidal HOB Power filter.

[@hkk3656]

Mine is loud too.

[@richardjoanis5289]

Always enjoy watching

[@Bullitt1768]

Had a quietflow I got with the tank 6 years ago, still running strong !

[@ThanhTran-ly6sg]

I am a retired Marine after 22 years and i am new to tge fish world. I find that yours KZbin have help me setup my fish tank. I hope i am lucky enough to get this filter. Thank you

[@eileenbowers6750]

Hi John! My cat does the same thing 😄. About the filter light, once you pull the tab out and push the cube down all the way, if you push the filter down all the way in the housing it will flash even if it's new, I had to lift the filter up a tad, and the light went out, when the filtration slows the water rises in the housing causing it to flash.your wife does an exceptional job with the filters . Great video. I need to order some things from you, but have never ordered anything on line!

[@shannon6886]

Hello, I absolutely love you guy's channel and I have learned so very much.. I'm planning on putting together a fish tank, for the first time, for my 5 year old son this Christmas. And after watching your video on this Aqueon quiet 20 filter, I now know that it would be the perfect filter for our very first fish tank. Thank you and we wish you both a happy holidays!

[@tonyrobles8978]

Love your TV setup with matching tanks

[@elizabethpolyak4522]

I am new to fish keeping and this looks like an easy way to go. Thanks for all the info.

I would love the filter so I can surprise my daughter with her own betta tank for her room,,I love your aquariums in the background,,your videos are amazing for new people in the hobby like myself,,good job

[@ivettestahl941]

Beginner with aquarium care. Appreciate all your advice

[@Bullitt1768]

Replaced my catridge with 2 sponges from a fluval C4 cut to fit, and threw some lava rock in there. Also throw a pre filter sponge on it and boom!

[@kskm84]

Beer me a filter, tuna! Thanks for the great videos!

Really enjoying this filter review series. I like John's descriptions...it's got lots of doo hickies 😂 Happy Thanksgiving guys. 👍💕👍

[@LocalBreadCreature]

*sees that there are no ads on the video* everyone: *careful,he’s a hero*

[@sarge6870]

I have this filter. That smaller blue "Thingy" that goes in the front of the filter with the blue pad is actually what Aqueon calls an Ammonia Neutralizer. You replace them every 2 - 3 weeks (I change them when I do a water change and/or filter change).

[@paulabatchelder5134]

This would change my guppy’s life. Love u show

[@DeFreeseAquariums]

Great series and review. I been using these for a few years but I don't use the led light as it will go off when the level is high in the box and with diy media, I cut polyfil and cut the media off the frame and use the frame and the blue frame, so that cuts the cost down and in mine it runs high so it will trip the led / dublidoo. But with diy media it's a nice quiet filter and gets the job done. 4 plus years with a few Aqueon hob and canister with no issues.

[@mr.dpfaquariums4560]

I have used the Aqueon Quiet 75 filters, they are very quiet in my opinion but it was the flow that surprised me about the filter. I cut a piece of Pinky floss to fit inside of the blue plastic cartridge screen/ Doohickey instead of using charcoal cartridge. Which makes maintenance a Breeze.

[@nanaofnc]

Thank you for your honesty in these filter reviews. Much appreciated!

[@jagator1198]

Hey John. I've got a 75 and it works great. I choose not to use the cartridges and use my own filter media and it's super quiet it works great ,would enjoy getting that one and putting it on my new 20 with a sponge filter . Thanks for all the great videos.

[@mattexotic8467]

Thank you for taking the time to review all these. Very helpful

[@jessicaw6930]

I actually like this filter :) the only thing I do different is use sponge instead of the Cartridges not because I think cartridges are bad. I am just cheap and I only had to spend the money for media once. Everyone should just do what is easier for them.

[@kamishamabry]

I just bought this aquarium system, thank you for this post! My husband and are were both trying to understand the purpose for the LED😊

[@chasnelson5753]

luv the self priming aspect

[@kens_fins8764]

I wouldn't mind getting that filter. I've heard so many good things about it and want to give it a go. It would be awesome if I won it, but I will be happy for the one who does.

[@davidpumo5501]

This design is perfect for introducing kids to the aquarium hobby!

[@melissacosme9370]

Aqueon Quiet flow Love the way you explained the set up Thank you!

[@art1grz]

Enjoying you channel, thanks for the info on all the filters!

[@johnlarsen8308]

When you changed the lights in your tanks it really makes a huge difference.

[@christopherbarton5754]

For an inexpensive filter system these are the best. Mine are so old I have not had the chance to see the overflow warning LED or the small blue part with added aeration having a small filter for ammonia. One thing that is a big plus about this filter not before mentioned is the fact that with the filter pump submerged it becomes self priming. This is great in the event of a power loss the motor will self siphon and avoid burning out the motor.

[@chadwick228]

Cheers man Thanks for the video!! Once the water flow starts to rise in the aqueon HOB due to water not being able to flow through the cartridge, it goes off, so if u keep Ur filters clean, u will almost never see the light.

[@allanbrough9774]

Love the chilids behind you

[@cstoddard7903]

Thanks KGTropicals for all you do!! Nice filter!!

[@glenngletow9413]

Nice video. Filter looks great!

[@Bloodhoundfostermom]

I won a few of this brand in a raffle....the light comes on supposedly when the media needs to be changed....I do like the fact about this filter is that it doesn't need to be primed after I do water changes like my aqua Clear 110's does but I have to admit I threw these on my tanks as extra filtration ... I don't but new cartridges for it I buy big amonia pads,cut to fit to replace the media when it time...ots more cost effective...I love hang on backs and my personal go to every time is the aqua Clear 110's they have so much more room for media in them than any others do

[@angelh5518]

I just bought this one today and I love it so far . It’s definitely quiet . But I bought the 45 gallon filter and it’s $40

[@tamuranarvasa6856]

The Aqueon 20 on my 33 is the quietest of the filters I have. Have had it running going on 3 years, no problems, ever....yet....(and have a 10g filter next to it for that extra coverage!)

[@cravethecard542]

Another great review John! Keep it honest and to the point!

[@LiSa.N.J]

Since I can't afford to hot rod cars right now, (2 boys attending Mississippi State) and being a single mom...I love hot rodding HOB filters. I really could use a new HOB . Money is VERY tight right now. Merry Christmas to me. :)

[@leehilton9932]

These are the only filters i use on all 4 of our tanks. My lights all work when the filter is done. There's tape on the batteries that have to be removed before the light will work. I love ours they work great. I like the fact that almost all of the pumps take the same size filter. The little filter is for ammonia or you can get a couple of other filters for it.

[@richardwaldhouse8067]

I really like the comparison videos of the HOB's! I tried some other brands and I like the Aqueon the best. Some of them don't restart after power outage. Most of the problems I have caused. I like seeing the new changes to the other manufacturers HOB'S.

[@KGcichlids]

Great review bro, I’ve had many aqueon hobs, the cat 🐈 is hilarious btw

[@victorgarciajr9708]

I love those filters

[@robhasmi4000]

Great series. I think a good idea next would be to do canister filter. Maybe all the popular small canisters

[@ThePsantos2397]

[@stevesaquatics165]

Nice filter. Good job John

[@roberto1930]

Great video! Love the comparison series

[@jescowan26]

I’ve gotten a second hand HOB filter didn’t quite fit the tank so I used a piece of a cheap camping foam mattress and put it on the outside where you suggested the business card, helped reduce the vibrations of the motor as a plus. if you need something thinner maybe try a yoga mat

[@merfishsandwich691]

The dangerous thing about the Aqueon filter, which I found out for myself, is the light. The light doesn't come on until the stock cartridge is so clogged that the water spills through the overflow spillway. So basically by the time the light comes on you are no longer filtering any water. You're sucking up water form the tank and dropping it straight back into the tank without passing through any media. I've now replaced the filter media in mine with foam. I threw the light sensor cartridge in the garbage. If you're using the stock filter cartridges with these filters and that light comes on you MUST replace the media IMMEDIATELY or your filtration will stop.

[@birdteele2533]

There are great filters your great as always john

[@jorgediaz8382]

Good video John ! I've never had a problem with my Aqueon filter and like you said it is quiet 👍

[@davidsco27]

Thanks for the review. Looking at this one and a couple of others

[@LisaTheWulf]

omg.. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. this one made me laugh a bunch. KGTropicals is my new fave binge watch in pandemic times.

[@peteryun1]

I have this filter. But I was thinking of using a mesh bag with Purigen…instead of using the standard cartridge. Is that doable?

[@ryanglade6467]

I would love a quiet filter, my old marineland rattles like crazy! Can hear it through the whole house

[@musician200X]

Thanks for the video. I'm loving the series.

[@anthonywebb6889]

That's a nice little filter with the led I was thinking about setting up a fresh water tank and that filter would give me a good start I also buy old tanks to set them up for Kids that cant afford to buy and a free filter would work well with that!!!! Keep up the good work I like your videos very true to the FACTS!!!

[@mikescichlids]

Hi, this is a little off topic from the subject of this video but I had a question on one of your past videos...when changing from gravel to sand do you need to worry about the loss of gravel bacteria? with gravel I would use some of the gravel to see the gravel or if I used enough I didn't even notice a cycle...obviously with sand all the gravel would go...should I dump a bunch of filter gunk in as well as added bacteria you can order...just was curious of this detail...thank you!

[@plcc07777]

I used Aqueon filters when I first started out in the hobby. The little LED is designed to blink when the water level inside the filter intake compartment reaches a certain high level. That high water level theoretically indicates that the filter media is clogged. Frankly, I think it's cheesy. However, at the low end price point, it's a great filter and I would choose the Aqueon over Top Fin.

[@Fatjohny100]

I use this filter in a couple of my tanks.. I've never had the light go on either.. good filter though..This is a good series.. thanks for your hard work..

[@RhinoXpress]

The change light thing is more of a gimmick i don't trust it. Iwash my filter out every week or two and change the filter out every month.

[@slamboy66]

High water level completes the circuit activating the light. Taking mine back today, the flow is quiet but the impeller is noisy even with a little petroleum jelly.

[@troyvsc]

I have an older model. Appreciate the upgrades over the years.

[@Jeswald1]

Love your videos! I have 6 AquaClear for 3 tanks... because 1/2 are forever broken! I need a filter that is quiet, can have a sponge intake plus not die in 3 months.

[@elektrofry4937]

I have a smaller version of this filter. It also has lid and noise issues. That being said, it has been in service for almost a year. It doesn't require as much cleaning of the main unit with a prefilter sponge on the intake. I do clean the prefilter on about 4 times as often as the main unit. One other option I wish my unit had was a flow control setting.

[@RescueDogTreats]

This review series is awesome John! Very thorough...

[@zachrikimoto1801]

I’ve recently brought a aqueon quitflow 75 for my 55 gallon and the motor is so loud I hear it over my tv I went and returned it and got a new one thinking it was just that one it wasn’t

New to the hobby, and i have to say your videos are like my bible right now. Everytime i have a question or what to learn something about the hobby i come to your channel, search for it, and sure enough you already have a video put up guiding me through or answering that question. Keep making the awesome videos. In your experience when you buy a tank as a kit (like i did) is it a good idea to replace the filter that come with it ?

[@cadeee406]

Seems legit duuude I'm liking the fresh vids

[@nevaeh1758]

Self priming a plus. I'm currently looking to replace the in tank filters on 2 of my tanks that I absolutely hate. Came with the tank kit and were okay for starter but not so much for on going filtration, especially with a large cray in one of the tanks with his feeder minnows. Very dirty bunch of creatures and water changes every 2 days. This one would go well in my ten gallon in the bedroom that houses the cray. What I would like to see come with these filters are pre filter sponges for the intake. I make my own currently which are necessary for the fry tanks. Thanks for another great review. Until next time....be well.

[@neloca825]

That would be the perfect filter for my next tank.
