Read All Reviews for Penn Plax Aquarium Cascade Canister Filter

We tried to hook it all up and found a piece had a small crack so we have tried to get replacement parts but no one carries them the manufacturer said they would send and a month later still no parts. Well we got the parts and this filter works great we love it we now have 3 of them so well worth every penny

I bought this because I was getting to old to carry buckets of water every month and thought this would relieve this problem. I am so pleased with its function and durability. It works even better then II thought it would, and the price is truly a bargain.

I have the 1000 for a large red eared slider tank and the 700's for two smaller painted turtle tanks. I should have spent the money and gotten canister filters YEARS ago! I wasted so much money on cheap filters that got gross and did not keep the water clear. Clarity is great plus I like the look of the filter. One thing to note is the filters will not prime unless the tank is ABOVE the filter - so if you have a ground tank, it will need to be slightly elevated in order to get the filter to start working. Easy to setup, comes with clear instructions.
