The last time we ordered these shafts was quite a few years ago and they were only about 2 to 3 dollars each, like we said in the video, but after looking them up in the present day, we found they are between 7 to 9 dollars. Our apologies for misquoting that, but inflation....
We still think this is a very reasonable price to only have to pay every 5 to 10 years in order to keep these filters going strong for so long and is the only piece of the filter we have ever had to replace other than the seal rings. The seal rings only cost a few dollars and we have only ever replaced them one time in 24 years, and not because they leaked or broke down, but just as preventative measure.

The aquaclear 110 is 500 gallons an hour, you know I never did a water change in my pond and the nitrate is 0, I just replaced the impeller on my 110 after 15 years of use, awesome filters and even better video!
Here's to 24 more years!
Yeah, 110 for a 110 gallon tank!: it's a little overkill for my 65 lol
Always good to over filtrate. Might throw a 110 on my 36 gallon bowed so that i have plenty filtration and oxygen so i can overstock.@therandomman6647
You are a true fishkeeper. Its important to keep your filter undisturbed. Loved the father-son duo. ❤
Thank you so much!
I honestly had no idea how much work goes into caring for fish until I came to your guys channel! It’s so interesting and incredible to learn!
Here's to 24 more years!
24 years for the same filters, now that's impressive, thanks for sharing the secrets to longevity!

@@jackanddan No kidding how awesome would that be man lol
Good to know. thanks for the tips
Nice info about these aquaclears . Never used them , but looking after your equipment is the key . Cheers guys ..
Here's to 24 more years!
Seen these filters at my local walmart, I was weary about getting them. Maybe I will give them a shot on my next tank :) Great video guys ^^
Thanks....Here's to 24 more years!
I really appreciate the video! Thank you for taking the time to explain everything! I've used these also... And mine might be due for a tune-up! 🤣 Thanks guys y'all are awesome!!!🌱🐟🌿
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching Mary....that shaft is something we have found most people just don't know about and it makes a huge difference....thanks again for buying us a cup of coffee we really appreciate it....Jack has his first big track meet on Saturday and I am going to buy him a huge vegan Sundae with that afterwards because he has been working so hard and helping me so much....I will let him know it is from you Mary....we hope you have a wonderful evening and our condolences again to you family for going through such a tough time....have a peaceful night.
@@jackanddan it was just a little bit of love for you guys!!
Every part can be ordered individually! I used two AC70 on one large planted tank for a handful of years, the flow was a bit strong for my angel but many parts are interchangeable and I was able to put AC50 impellers in the AC70 motors. Worked perfectly. I experimented a lot with materials and found that stacking the filter housing full with sponges worked best for me. I just set up a 92 gallon corner goldfish tank and am going to use two AC110 with double sponges or sponge with poly fill. These make strong flow, even after I doubled the length of pickup tubes. I may try cutting fins to reduce flow and lubing the shaft for noise reduction. Anyway, these are the best HOB out there, still. Simple, easy, customizable, cost effective (free) to maintain, large capacity. Love these. Enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much....it was tough but we learned a lot and will be doing more....lots and lots of exciting stuff coming up!
Thánks for sharing
Have a nice day
Tnx for sharing your secrets!
We need to set up a tank again looks like a nice set up thank you for the information
Thanks....Here's to 24 more years!
thanks i learned so much from this video, very helpful
Thanks....Here's to 24 more years!
I'm impressed, JD.
I'd like to ask you for advice, as we live tens of thousands of miles away ...
I have an RIo 240 aquarium, and I have problems with the internal filter, not enough to crystallize the water as I like ...
what do you think if I used this aqua clear or a smaller one to help the internal filter?
It could cause problem?
Or there are better solutions?
Thanks
more filtration is always better....love these aqua clears!
@@jackanddan I'll try with one, this weekend!
Thanks for this video.
thanks for sharing jack and dan
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff guys...Ive not had the AC 110 but heard great things about them over the years... 24 hears is awesome fortune!!
Here's to 24 more years!
@@jackanddan 🍸
Just upgraded to two of these AQ110's on a 100 gal, and one on a 55... Somewhere I read to lube the shaft, so I did that... Vaseline was used, maybe it will make those SS shafts last longer....? Seems to make them run smooth and quiet.
they run very well when they are cleaned and there is good tank and water health as far as Vaseline we have seen this done for many years but are skeptical that petroleum base lubricant would not harm our fish and plants....honestly for 2-3 bucks every few years we'll just replace them....we did end up getting a new case for the 3rd one we mentioned and have rescaped this 220 and added it so it's doing phenomenal now....that video will be coming up soon...thanks for watching
Thanks for the info Jack & Dan!
Here's to 24 more years!
Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for the info Jack & Dan! I can't believe the filter lasted that long. I am definitely showing this video to my husband. :)))
Here's to 24 more years!
Good video. We just bought a 110 today for our 75 tank, replacing the Marineland we had (which I think sucked!) High hopes for this one and your video set my mind at ease a bit.
Cheers
Good choice.....we have aqaurium videos every Friday and all sorts of fun stuff on other days....hope it helps have a great evening!
Make sure you clean it more often than this guy
how amazing it is . thanks
Here's to 24 more years!
Hey guys, 24 years for a filter to last is impressive. Annual cleanings only aren’t bad. That is a big one. The lava rock & plants sound super helpful. A lot of pieces are very inexpensive to replace. That piece on the pump was changed easily. $70-$75 24 years ago is great! Really nice & detailed video. FW & have a great weekend
Here's to 24 more years!
Jack and Dan 😁
Thanks for revealing the secrets ❤️
Great tips!
Thanks....we gave you a little shout out in our last video where Lacey took us hunting for mushrooms....
@@jackanddan thanks so much xoxox i need to watch that it looks so exciting:) i will check it out now before i forget:) much love xoxox thanks
Wow this filter is as old as me lol great info! Many people just think a certain way and do not accept other ways of doing things. It’s true most of the filtration comes from substrate or dry rock/live rock depending if you do salt or fresh. As long as your fish are healthy and parameters are good then do it your way
Exactly.
I just replaced the impeller shaft today on my AC 110. It was not very bad at all after about 5 years of use. I do not use sand so maybe that is why it looked pretty good. My AC 110 always restarts if the power goes out. I did have an AC 70 that would hang up and not start some times. The AC 110 has a much larger motor so maybe that is why. Thanks for the great video.
Awesome….happy new year!!
Great tips and information here. It’s amazing you get that much life out of them.

Thumbs up for a great review of Aqua clear filter!
Thanks!
Love the content the system you use is very similar to marine aquariums having "live" rock and i would say its a better way only drawback is debris hitting the rock and going bad ,,,I would get some nerite snails to sort that issue ,,,i would like to know what you nitrates are out the facet also do you check the water regularly in and out the tank ,,,i know here in the UK nitrates can be 50 parts per million out the tap ,,,great video guys well worth watching
AQUAGUY UK ....the clowns (13 of them) are constantly digging through the lava rock and stirring it up.....we have a few videos showing them do this....we will be doing more videos on this tank soon and some of the changes we are making.....thanks so much
@@jackanddan Excellent cant wait you certainly have a way to draw the audience in
OMG that’s a very old filter, almost my age 😀and I can see this has a good quality.
This was very interesting video

Here's to 24 more years!
where do you buy the o-rings ? Or would you know what size is used for the aquaclear 110? thanks
same place....Big Al's link is in the description
thank you my friend for sharing this video.

Hi my friend 💛
how are you ?
very nice video

Good day and see you soon 💛

awesome job

Wow thats was amazing my friend great sharing more blessings keep safe to your family
Thanks....Here's to 24 more years!
very helpful guys, my 110 is only 8 months old, but i was intimidated about taking it all apart. you showed how easy it is, i serviced it in 5 minutes, i also agree with u bout cleaning sponges in tap water. ive been doing it that way recently with no issues. 75 gal tank with deep substrate, lots of decorations and 3 plants. also with so much good bio bacteria u can use a old sponge to cycle a new tank and put a new sponge in 110, no worries.thank you for making this
Glad it helped! We will be rescaping this aquarium in 2022 for sure along with lots of our other ones....have a great holiday season!
I have one that's nearly brand new, got it used from someone who used it maybe a week before having to sell their tanks. Not even a stain on it. However it clatters some. It flows great but definitely not as quiet as my AC70s. The impeller and shaft look brand new. Any ideas what might cause this?
could be sand or another type of small gritty substance that you may try to clean out.....also could mean it isn't quite primed all the way....there may be some air in the top of the U shaped tube and sometimes this may cause that. Also, if it isnt level....by using the leveler on the bottom of the bas you can level it in or out and this may also help.
Hello! gonna watch till the end!
Excellent
Here's to 24 more years!
What model is the tube that I adapt to the aqua clear, the one with the black grid?
Got it many years ago from the local fish store and have no idea if they even make them anymore....a good place to check on line is Big Al's....you can just search for Aqua Clear or Aqua Clear parts....most people just use a pre filter sponge these days which we have discussed in many other videos and is typically better that these grids honestly....thanks for watching
Wow i like your content very helpful.Thanks for sharing
Here's to 24 more years!
A pre filter sponge works great on the aqua clear filters. Also extends internal filter sponge maintenance intervals.
We have done several videos on the pre filters on the other aqua clears we have and you can see then in our aquarium playlist....we don't like them on the big tank though....we explain that in several videos and why we use the baskets in the inlet instead for this set up....

How are the bamboo doing in your tank? I wanted to put bamboo in my cichlid tank but I didn’t want my bamboo to rot
It's been in there for almost 2 years and doing great....we just did an update on some things in this tank Last Friday and we are doing another update on the renovations we just did on this coming Friday....
What’s the purpose of the aqua cave? I like the video. I love how straightforward you guys are. Pretty much you said look this is what we do and it works for us…..period. Kinda funny too. 👍🏾
Great sharing 👏 👍 😀 👌
Thank you very much!
Just saw this video love it I have 2 110 aquar clear where can I find the shaft
We have links in the description and mention in the video Big Al’s but the prices have gone up just like everything in the last year or two….you can google them and maybe find a better deal but his are about 7 or 8 bucks now….good luck and thanks for watching….we do all sorts of different videos on our lives and always share our aquariums and aquatic adventures pretty much every Friday …. Happy new year🥳🥳
@@jackanddan thank u
Amazing filter lasting for many years!

Hey guys! These are actually the only commercial filters I still use. I long ago stopped using those leveling tabs though as people are hard on them. I cut a ring of 1 1/2" ABS pipe instead.
WOW....well if this filter has Fishman's endorsement then we know we are doing the right thing!!!! Thanks so much sir!!!!
Another fun video, as always! Keep it up guys! Sending ❤️ from Santa Monica, CA.
Thanks so much!!!! We really appreciate the coffees too....We hope you have a great weekend!!!!
👍 Have a great weekend! 😎
Very good 👍

Surprised you haven't use Vaseline on the shaft rod to lubricate the Impaler. I did that on a Fluval Aquaclear 50 and it helped with the sound. I can't hear the motor anymore, just the water. Also, I've seen some people complain about how it doesn't restart waterflow after power outages. Don't know if the design has changed, but mine keeps itself primed as long as it's leveled. Also, connecting it to a smallbattery backup unit keeps it going during brief outages.
Ours restarts fine but honestly we don' have power outages because we are solar....we have a lot of videos about that as well....these work tremendously well for being 24 years old and we never used any type of lubricant due to not being sure if it would harm the fish....doesn't seem worth the risk when we can buy a shaft for a couple bucks and just pop it in every few years....thank for watching and for the tips!
DAM! I just tried pulling the steel pin from my Aquaclear 110 and it would not budge! I left it in for fear of making it worse.. any suggestions on removing that pin? I was using a good pair of pliers..
that stinks....it can be tough but maybe try to put the pump in a vice to hold it....they always pop out for us
@@jackanddan OK TY

Here's to 24 more years!
Great sharing the old school and legend way of fish keeping, remember back in those days without filter we only run air stone and deep substrate, there's almost 0 maintenance except adding water monthly since air stone bubbles pops and lost some water. Fish is happy breed like no tomorrow, natural environment is the way.
right on.....most of our tanks we do very little for.....just let them be and enjoy them....we will be rescaping this big 220 soon....changing it around quite a bit.....its long overdue
Like , thanks for sharing
Have a nice day
