âââââ Perfect Filter for a Nano Tank â Whisper Quiet!
I was specifically looking for a very small filter that could fit on the back of my 1-gallon nano tank, and this filter checked all the boxes. It’s incredibly compact, making it ideal for tight spaces without being an eyesore.What impressed me most is how quiet the motor isâit’s practically silent. I actually had to put my ear right up to it just to make sure it was even running! Thatâs how discreet it is, which is a huge plus for a bedroom or office setup where noise can be a distraction.Another thoughtful feature is the extra piece included for the downpipe. My tank is fairly shallow, so being able to shorten the downstream length made installation smooth and hassle-free.Overall, Iâm very impressed and happy with this purchase. Itâs efficient, quiet, and clearly designed with small tanks in mind. Highly recommend for anyone running a nano setup!

Work great! Perfect size for mini tanks
Bought two. Using them for two 2.5 gallon hospital tanks and they work great. I would recommend adding your own filter media and skipping the filter pad that it comes with.

Does the job
So far, so good with this little filter, and is a good fit for my 3-gallon tank. It’s slimmer than I thought (not a bad thing) and feels a little cheap, but time will tell how well it holds up.It’s not “ultra quiet” as marketed as it does make a mild humming (see attached video). The trade-off is that it actually moves water. Before this, I tried both the Aqueon QuietFlow 3 and the Tetra 1-4 gallon filter (which may have killed one of my fish) and though both were incredibly quiet, they did a poor job of actually cleaning the water. Scum consistently built up on the surface of the water with those two. The DaToo cleaned that up very quickly.

Itâs⦠meh. But will do for a very small tank with little bioload
I bought this in a pinch because of the price and needed something quick. Putting it together and getting is running was easy. Cleaning it is easy and straightforward, but youâll do best with a pipe/ straw cleaner. Itâs quiet and doesnât make a whole lot of noise. Thereâs a knob on top that will change the speed at which water is pulled in. I can promise youâll never need to use it.Now out of all of the filters I have bought, this one, by far, has the weakest flow. This problem is worsened further because the tiny motor and narrow pipes will get gummed up by sludge and wonât pull/push as fast.However, if you have a nano tank or a shrimp tank with little bioload this HOB filter will do the job in a pinch.Would I buy again? Probably not.Does it do the job? Yes, but in a âI get paid minimum wage and hate my jobâ sort of way

Pump doesn’t last long
I had this in a 5.5 gallon and it worked great – for the 3 or 4 weeks it lasted. I never ran it dry and it was kept in appropriate conditions but it just died one day for seemingly no reason at all. There were no clogs or debris – the pump simply died and does not last. Luckily I also had sponge filters in the tank but it’s very dangerous to lose a filter randomly and without warning in an aquarium and could result in the tank crashing.If you do get this, don’t expect it to last, and use a different sponge cover on the intake as the one it comes with is pretty terrible and the holes are much too large to prevent fry or small shrimp from getting sucked into the intake (I did in fact find a fry stuck inside it once, he was fine but the sponge is not fine enough.)Pretty frustrating to have it die so soon after buying it, and I had also bought additional filters for it so I am out even more money. Total waste of money.
Hope this helps –
Simple, Effective, Customizable…Deal
Truth be told I was concerned about getting this HOB filter for my 2.5 gallon shrimp tank due to some critical points other reviewers made. So you know where I’m coming from, I do have a larger 30 Gal general tank and I’ve typically had bad experiences with HOB tanks that have the pump outside the of the tank. I tend to do better with either “self-priming” HOBs or Internal filters. However, for a 2.5 Gallon tank, internals take up too much space for the aquascaping I wanted to do and the only “self-prime” HOB I could think of that would fit was no longer produced (Marina S5). So I had no choice but to go with this HOB that had the motor on the outside. And it’s actually really good.So my thoughts as to why I really like this one:1. This filter is small and slim, but has ENOUGH space for me to customize the filter media (see pictures).2. Super quiet…in fact my air pump is louder than it. The main feature that helps is that there is a rotating piece you can turn to put some space between the tank and the motor. That’s the key there. I had rattles when it was up against the aquarium, but now that I turned that disk and created space, you don’t hear anything but the trickle of water (when I turn off my air pump).3. It comes with a suitably sized pre-filter that covers the intake pipe. My shrimp have safely climbed on to eat some of the food on it and combed off. It is coarse, but for a pre-filter I prefer that as it sufficiently catches large debris without greatly diminishing the water suction. I mean, I want most of the filtering to be done in the chamber anyways.4. Easy to take apart and clean out sludge5. The suction isn’t too strong for my tank community. No one is fighting the current like they initially were when I tried an internal filter system.6. It’s size is easy to manage and work with while still being big enough to do a proper job.Things I learned to be aware of:1. One other reviewer mentioned that this pump had sucked out water out of the tank and spilled it outside the tank. THIS CAN BE TRUE. It actually happened to me also, BUT I learned that there is an easy fix and it hasn’t repeated that problem ever since. Simply put, I initially over stocked the chamber with media so it ended up displacing the water to much that it spilled out of the filter. I stripped it down (see the picture) and it works like a charm. No spillage…not even a little water dripping out of the top. And the biggest culprit was that I had a sponge that was way too dense in there.2. When using an HOB this small (especially for a planted aquarium that uses soil), it will be necessary to clean the filter once a week. This also helps to prevent overflow. It’s the nature of the beast.3. The noise issue can be real as another reviewer noted…but just as I stated, the rotator disk they have at the bottom of the motor makes the rattles disappear. Again, the key is putting a gap between the tank and the motor component of the HOB.So all in all, I am pleased with this purchase and will be going for this filter again if I ever require one for another nano tank.

I use this filter for my small shrimp tank and it works fine. The build quality is good and the noise level is acceptable. I cleaned the filter with tap water so I donât need to replace the filter very often. If you are looking for a low budget filter, you should consider this one.

Only negative as others have mentioned is it was a bit loud. Think of a 4 out of 10 in sound. But I put a small piece of foam where it meets the glass. No more noise. Great little filter for the price.

Little noisy, so I put a little wedge of wood covered in electrical tape between it and the tank.Otherwise works great for a low flow 2.5 gallon tank. I threw out the insert, and put some biomedia in the bottom and cut a small piece of sponge. Its easy to service. But it is very low flow. The water kinda runs out and down the side of the tank vs hitting the top of the water.
