Works well but... by LAQUAITA CROW

Comments: This filter does a great job of filtering, however I was disappointed to learn after receiving it that it has to sit >20 inches below the aquarium. I had planned on using it in the sump not the display tank. I have a similar sized Eheim on another tank that does not have this requirement. I guess thats why Eheim's are more expensive! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great canister! by ARMANDO

Comments: The marineland c series canister, was well designed. With bioballs Activated carbon, large filter, ceramic rings, and a polishing filter, it Truly makes this canister a winner. My saltwater looks crystal clear No more greenish water. I purchased the c-320 it is whisper quiet I can't even hear it working unless I touch the canister. I've own it for almost 2 weeks, And have not come across any downsides. It is self priming. All u do is pump a few times and it's done. Trust me you'll have no regrets. I was gonna buy the eheim top models But for the money it's not worth it. This canister is affordable and It performs at par or better than eheim. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have the smaller version for a 50gallon tank which is doing fine. But this one the 360-C I am using for my saltwater tank, just started to leak from one of the 4 clamps on top after 6 months of use. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I purchased this filter to replace my 10 year plus old Fluval canister filter and in under a year it has begun leaking from the top as described in the other reviews. Very POOR design considering that one of the KEY FEATURES for a filter should be to filter and NOT LEAK WATER all over your floor in the process!!! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I waited to review this until I did my first media replacement. This filter is great! It's very well made, and is very easy to do maintenance. I use phosguard in place of one of the two carbon bags. it's also virtually silent. It even looks great - very unobtrusive. I highly recommend this filter. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Product by GAIL FORTNER

Comments: The product works great, so far everything I have read has been correct, so we also bought 2 C160. If the product fails, I will revise this review, for right now we are pleased with the product. The only thing I don't like is that the stores don't carry the filter refills and you end up having to order on line. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

POOR QUALITY by FLOYD ANDERSON

Posted on 6/9/2008 from OAK HARBOR, WA UNITED STATES

Comments: I have owned this same canister for almost 5 months. It ran well and did it's job for that time. The last week the top has been leaking. I figured it was just an o-ring. So I went to my local fish store and found that the required o-ring is not on the market. However being kind they allowed me to take one from a returned c360. I hooked it up and it ran well for about 2 hours then it started to leak again. After about 5 hours of me trying to figure out why this was leaking I came to the conclusion that it is not the o-ring but the canister itself. So I went down to the fish store and asked if I could borrow the c360 they have for trouble shooting purposes. I changed the canister first, no luck. Then I changed the power head and still it leaked. POOR POOR POOR quality. Seems to me the one I borrowed was returned for the same thing. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Well i had this filter for awhile now and i work in a fish store and i loved it. How ever!!! after a few months people kept bringing it back and saying that it leaks. Well ok sure np we will just replace an oring or a part and happy customer.!!!!! o wait Marineland does nto have any parts for this product, we have been looking for them for months and months and nothing. And nothing on there webpage, so we dont sell it anymore. And unfortunetly mine just started to leak so instead of spending 5 bucks on an o-ring like i should i have to spend 150 on a new filter...... I would not recommend this product to my friends.
