    I have this filter on my 75 gal. turtle aquarium. I have one 5-3/4" RES turtle who is not fully grown.
    I love this filter. I hate that it's so hard to get the bottom of the motor housing on. I'm 77 years old and I don't have the strength I used to. I finally used a hammer and got it on, but am afraid I may break it.
    I called Marineland about this and they sent me the whole motor part. But the problem is still there. My turtle tries to use the bottom of the intake for a back scratcher and is constantly knocking the bottom of the motor housing off. I do really appreciate Marineland helping me.
    My final solution is I have to use a hammer to get the motor housing on and I use a rubber band to keep it on so when my turtle is bothering it, it still stays on.
    I have this filter and 2 sponge filters. My tank stays crystal clear. I probably dont need the sponge filters, but i will handle that later.
    Turtles are real messy and all the turtle gurus say you must have a canister filter. I am perfectly happy with this filtration system. I just couldn't bring myself to spend so much money for a canister filter. Besides, the canisters are so heavy, I would have trouble moving it to clean it.
    I bet your really bored by now. So thanks for listening.
    Sincerely,
    Linda Harper

    I use the white floss roll.
    Ruff on one side and soft on the other.
    I cut two pieces and fill with carbon and ammonia neutralizer.
    I staple the sides together.
    The inner part of the floss I roll up and staple the sides and put it over the part of the filter that pulls in the water the intake .
    Like a home made sponge over the area that the water is pulling in the intake tube .
    I first did it to protect my baby fish .
    I change it every two weeks and the home made filters pads I change monthly even though its not too dirty. Just to keep my tank clean.
    I need to get a new filter. Have a Aqueon now and its so loud it drives me crazy. When I shut off to allow fish to eat the thing never starts again unless I pull the motor off and put it back on. Its not dirty eaither.
    Anyway great video...

    I have a Penguin Pro 275 but having issues with after 4 days of installing I noticed the Bio wheel is not turning anymore. I know I know a normal issue with Marineland filters BUT my issue is due to the water flow. After 4 days of filtering my standard C size filter seems to be clogged(even though the tank does not even seem to be dirty at all before and after the install. But the issue is the water can not go through the filter fast enough and in turn going over the overflow on the intake side so water flow if not enough to turn the bio wheel. I cannot replace these filter cartridges every 4 days so I need to figure out how to resolve this. I was thinking to get the micron filter to put where the filter basket is but I have seen reviews that these clog up very quickly as well. This filter will be of no use if the water is just going over the overflow and not through the filter media yes some goes through and filters but the bio-wheel is being affected by this and I would rather all water filter not just some. Does anyone have any ideas about what I could do to resolve this other than getting a different type of filter?

    One thing I don’t understand is the placement of the media basket. From everything I read, any biological media such as ceramic rings or the K2 media should be placed after mechanical filtration, but this basket is before the mechanical filtration which would make it difficult for beneficial bacteria to grow on whatever biological media is put in that basket. Is this correct or do I have it mixed up and if right, do you know why they would do this?

    Michael, I have 1 - 20 gal. with about 100 female adult guppy's and 30 Mystery Snails, and 2 adult cory's.. I have a sponge filer and a Top Fin HOB. Lately I have been cleaning the HOB 1 to 2 times a week and the sponge filter about every 2 months, I have been changing water 1 to 2 times a week due to the cloudy water. I also have 2 - 5 gal. tanks. One has 2 corys, 5 Platis? 10 snails ans a few guppy frys, the filter is an Aqua Tech 5-15, this one is the green problem. The other 5 gall. has a Aqua Tech 5-15, 1 Panda Cory, 30 guppy fry and 4 adult guppies. Up untill recently I had no problems with the water conditions.

      Michael's Fish Room The filter sock would go down in that little cone basket thing where you were talking about putting the K2 media. That way you could just fill the rest of the filter with bio media and just change that sock out for mechanical filtration, if you ever needed chemical filtration you could just throw that in the sock too and throw it away with all the other junk they get stuck in there when it’s done.

    Lol. I did have the chicken parmesan with garlic bread tonight. I made two pieces of it yesterday and had the second one today, Ashley sent you a picture to your website. 😂😂😂. I’m gonna blame you for making me fat. I’ve been fat for years but I still blame you.
    Anything specific about the pink, I have something pretty much like it the blue and white, is there a difference?
    What I always do with new tanks and a power filter is a cut those cartridges open a little bit and I put ammo-carb in there, it absorbs ammonia, then I put some kind of biological media in the filter whether it be foam or something like a seachem matrix (pretty much the best you can buy) or lava rock, and that absorbs the ammonia and neutralizes it so you can add fish right away in a new tank and it takes about a month to wear out, I usually add a little more after about three weeks and before I have to throw away the cartridge the tank is usually cycled. The ammonia-carb just takes care of it For a while as your bacteria grows in. As long as you don’t go too crazy with the fish that’s been a pretty successful method, I’m guessing that ammonia resin is pretty close to the same thing. I’m kind of like you, I don’t really do the carbon thing, Not in less I’m doing Oscars were red tails or something huge that poops a ton, but that ammonia resin or animal carb is good in a new tank until it’s fully cycled.
    On another note, with the fluidized removing biology that cleans itself, you need a ton of that stuff for it to make a difference, for a 75 gallon tank where your flower horn is you would probably need a 2 to 4 gallon size bucket full of that media. I think ceramics or some lotta rocks would probably be better as a biological option, I would go for filter floss so I could just pop that out and throw it away to clean the filter and leave the rest biological, then I would go eat more chicken Parmesan.
