Review: Penguin pro - I ordered 2 for my 75 gallon tank...great filtration..but 1 came defective..had to return for a replacement...overall a fantastic filter.
Review: A Quiet Workhorse for Crystal Clear Water - I've been using the Marineland Penguin Pro 375 filter for a few weeks now, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance. This filter has transformed my aquarium water quality, creating a pristine environment for my fish. Key features I love: * Exceptional Filtration: The filtration system effectively removes debris, impurities, and harmful toxins. My tank water has never been clearer! * Quiet Operation: The decoupled motor ensures whisper-quiet performance, allowing me to enjoy the peaceful ambiance of my aquarium without any disturbances. * Bio-Wheel Technology: This feature is a game-changer! It efficiently breaks down ammonia and nitrates, promoting a healthier aquarium ecosystem. * Easy Maintenance: The filter cartridges are simple to replace, making routine upkeep a breeze. I highly recommend the Marineland Penguin Pro 375 to any aquarium owner looking for a reliable, efficient, and quiet filter. It's a fantastic investment in the health and well-being of your aquatic companions. Note: The filter needs to be well leveled for the Bio-Wheels to work efficiently on both sides. Alternatively you can even out the water flow on both sides of the filter by slightly raising one of the rear filters allowing more water to pass through.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for anything over 10gal
*by C***Y on January 5, 2021*

I bought the pro 125, and I’d say about 10 gallons is the minimum limit for this between the length of the intake piping and the adjustable flow - it can go as low as 12.5gph or something close to that, but even with silicone lubricant the biowheel won’t spin that low. I have it on an aqueon frameless 14 cube meant for some pea puffers, cories, and some (NOT long-finned) endlers, and it’s doing well so far. I filled the media basket with some seachem matrix and ceramic porous spheres found on Amazon (I’ll update with the name of those later), and replaced the carbon cartridge with 30 & 40 ppi filter sponge along with I believe 20 micron filter floss. So far, no complaints, after seeding with Stability and about 2 weeks of cycling the tank is running pretty well! I love how much you can adjust to your preferences with these pro filters, and if I didn’t have a canister on my 40 already I’d have seriously considered an emperor for it. Love the concept (and execution, so far) of the biowheel and I’m hoping to see further greatness as the tank matures. Update 6/4/21: a few days ago, the motor refused to come to life after unplugging for maintenance. I plugged it back in, and it didn’t even try to pump water. I thought this was due to an electrical/power issue, but then I opened up the impeller chamber to see if it was truly dead when I plugged it in. The impeller spun wildly back and forth, as if it had lost its timing with the motor. I’m not sure if this is due to not having any water in the chamber, or some other issue. Will be emailing marineland support to try and find a solution.
