Like it so far 3/7/2013 Reviewer: Kristen I was nervous after reading such mixed reviews. But it was easy to assemble. The vegetable oil suggestion I read was very helpful to get those hoses on. I bought Marinepure bio balls to put in it. It started right up with priming. Runs pretty quiet. No leaks yet. I wish it still came with the spraybar, but I have no complaints. It's 100 times better than the tetra tec hang on filter I had 10 years ago!
Filstar XP L 3/6/2013 Reviewer: Vic Someone says it makes noise? What noise, because, I can't hear a thing. I already have three, 1 in my 75 gal tank, 2 in my 125 gal tank. and I am buying another one to add to my tank. If you catch it on sale it grab it. I love them. Now I'll have 4.
Fantastic filter. 2/7/2013 Reviewer: Deb Easy to put together. So quiet I had to check to make sure was working. I ordered the XP3. It would have been nice if the kit came with enough filter material to fill the canister.
XP3 or large model 12/17/2012 Reviewer: Ted 75gal S/A cichlid & 60gal African cichlid I love this filter.. It's quiet , efficient and easy to prime.. I have two separate tanks (75gal & 60gal) and this filter puts up with the abuse from my hungry cichlids... Plus when it's on sale , it's an absolute steal..!!
Works Great! 12/9/2012 Reviewer: J.J. I've had mine for 3 years, I only replaced the previous one after 4 years as the impeller is a little pricey, so I figured I'd just replace the whole unit. It's quiet, powerful, and reliable. Never missed a beat. It's definitely not noisy! High quality!!!!
filstar L 9/10/2012 Reviewer: Guy I like this filter, I switched from the API nexx filter which is a bad filter that will leak, and so far the filstar is great. But I can see where it can be a little messy when doing a filter change, but I like it. It not as noisy as some say, the air bubble noise stop after a couple hours, and for the price, it's worth it considering how many gallons it's rated for.
GREAT FILTER 7/25/2012 Reviewer: CHUCK D ZERO NOISE, ZERO PROBLEMS, WORKS GREAT. HAVE TWO ON ONE TANK 72 GAL. AND ADJUST OUTFLOW FOR THE FISH. YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS FILTER.
XP3 7/21/2012 Reviewer: Kevin I have this filter for around 3 years now and I must say it works great. My water is crystal clear. It doesnt make noise as the other reviewer states. Its actually real quiet. Its easy to prime and clean.
Filstar XP3 7/20/2012 Reviewer: MJ I installed thsi filter and cannot believe how quiet it is. I cannot even tell it is running at all when all noise is quiet in my house. I have to look in the tank to see that there are bubbles.
3X Filstar 7/13/2012 Reviewer: Papaling I've had mine on a Reef setting for the last 6 years. Never have I had any problems with it. Runs extremely quiet, great power through out it's life. Easy to clean, simple set-up. I love it. It's a upflow canister, great mechanical and Bio filtration. I use ceramic rocks for the bacteria control, and ChemiPure Marine workes the best with this unit.
Filstar 7/9/2012 Reviewer: Trevor Sucks makes a lot of noise air all the time
