Elite Stingray 5 Underwater Aquarium Filter
Product ID: 35361640
Elite Stingray 5 Underwater Internal Filter. The Elite Stingray filter provides effective mechanical, chemical and biological filtration with zero-carb and foam filter media inserts. Review: Works great - Got this thing used and it works like a champ. Fully submersible and simple to use. I really like the way you can change the water flow direction at the top. The only downside if any is it's slight bulky size. Review: No major problems, but.... - What can I say? It works. There is nothing really wrong with it. You can turn the top of it around to change the direction of the flow where you want it. However, I'm not crazy about the design. Its hard to get the plastic bottom part off to get to the sponge and rinse it (in old tank water, FYI for those who are new to the hobby). I actually had to look at the directions to figure it out. (BTW, you have to take the front cover OFF, and slide the bottom piece forward to get the sponge out. Sounds simple but its hard to get those little pegs out to remove the cover) The biggest problem I have with it, though, is how it looks. It is very chunky in the aquarium and takes up a lot of space, and the top of it is blue, and seems bright under the lights. I like this mini internal best: Elite Mini Filter However, if you feel the need for carbon filtration that one doesn't have it, while the stingray does. I personally do not use carbon. I would not use this sized stingray on a five gallon tank. I use it on a 2 gallon planted tank and feel that it is adequate but no more. --Tammy

When I first got my little oranda, it lived in a tiny 10 litre tank with a cheap little filter for 2 weeks. (Shame on me.) So I brought this power filter since the water looked cloudy. It was so cheap on offer! (Brought it on here for £13.) 2 hours later, the water was crystal clear. A week later, I decided to upgrade the tank to a 71 litre but had to fill it to 30 litres for the current filter. Wished I've upgraded everything sooner and brought the next sized up filter. Even with the new, big tank and the Stingray 5 filter, it can still blow my fish across the tank so careful where you aim the nozzle unless you're sure your fish enjoys the exercise. -Powerful (for the correct sized tank) -Does the job, Clear water. -Happier fish. Look at him! -Stuff some filter wool behind the filter if you're afraid of little fish getting stuck between the glass and filter. -Silent. I can barely hear it though I don't mind the constant drone of regular filters.

Die Pumpe wurde schnell geliefert. Obwohl in der Produktbeschreibung eines anderen Produktes dieser Firma steht, dass ein Adapter bei elektrischen Geräten für deutsche Steckdosen beiliegt, fehlte dieser leider. Somit war das Gerät für uns nicht brauchbar. Drei Sterne gibt es, weil die Firma auf unsere Beanstandung umgehend reagiert und den Kauf storniert hat.

I was bit confused after reading all the mixed up reviews! I have 12L backup tank for my baby fishes, every time my platys give birth I intend to separate them until they grow up! And my old filter on this tank stopped working so I have to to buy a small filter which is not going scare my baby fishes at the meantime do the job perfectly. I have to say I'm so happy choosing this filter it's so sattledt and works perfectly fine. It's so quiet as well. amazing product I will definitely recommend this product for anyone who has a small tank.
