| Quiet, efficient and reliable Aqua Clear 50 pumps 200 gph. Recommended for aquariums up to 50 gallons. Aqua Clear stands alone as the only aquarium power filter that offers the integrated filtration of the CycleGuard Insert System. Aqua Clear combines the largest volume of efficient filter media in individual inserts with the powerful water flows from the free floating impeller. Alternate replacement of the CycleGuard inserts ensures continuous biological removal of organic toxins can be achieved. The waterfall style output from the Aqua Clear filter agitates the surface of the water while creating beneficial currents throughout the entire volume of the aquarium. Both the surface agitation and the rotational currents bring more water molecules to the surface, in physical contact with the atmosphere, enabling them to release carbon dioxide and replenish oxygen more efficiently. In addition, the constantly moving water currents do not allow dead spots to occur in the aquarium, eliminating the possibility of thermal layering. Water input per hour is regulated by adjusting the patented flow adjustment mechanism, tailoring the flow rate to the aquarium's requirements. When the flow adjustment reduces input, the water returned to the aquarium is still equal to input, but the top grid in the filter basket circulates purified water back into the motor chamber so that the pump filters 200 gallons per hour even when adjusted to siphon less. Water may be filtered more than once without reducing the actual flow rate of the pump unit. The Aqua Clear 50 actively draws dirty aquarium water through the integrated siphon/strainer assembly into the pump impeller chamber. The flow diverter directs the powerful water current from the impeller chamber under the filter basket. The water is forced to move through the provided filter media and then returned purified to the aquarium. Aqua Clear Power Filters are designed to fully exploit the benefits of removing aquarium wastes both mechani |

| These are by far the best filters I have ever used. I have had aquariums for approx. 23 years, and these filters are so easy to maintain. They do a great job. |
Great filter!

| I just love this filter! It does a great job! Keeps the water crystal clear! No other filter, in my opinion, does a better job. If I could give it more stars, I would! |

| This is the best filter on the planet. I feel bad for the reviewer and his wife because something is wrong. They said the sponge keeps floating to the top. Thats impossible unless the media rack is broken or missing. The 3 sided media rack is the part that you must pull out of the filter with your thumb and index finger to get the media out. And when you stack the sponge and media bags in the rack and stand the sides of the rack up and hold tight with your thumb and index finger and push it back into the filter which locks the sponge and media in so that it is impossible to float. The media rack has spears that wont let it float. I hope that they shop around because its easy to find the replacement parts really cheep to fix it. They won't regret it because I won't use any other make filter anymore because no other filter ( including canister filters ) can hold a candle to Aquaclear power filters. |
Best Power Filters in the Market

| The Aquaclear power filters are the best in the market. These filters provide a HUGE surface area for an efficient biological treatment of the aquarium water. I own four of these filters and have been running continuously for more than three years! They are extremely quiet. I have experienced only two problems with these filters. First, the filters drain into the aquarium during power outages and will not restart on their own. Second, if not cleaned frequently the foam blocks will be pushed upwards and displace the cover. Overall, these are great filters and I would not replace them for another power filter. |
Very nice

| I use this in my 29 gallon, and the filter is excellent. The best part about it is the ability to control the amount of water brought in. It is also very quiet. However, when the power goes out and comes back on, it won't begin working again. You must add water to it to get it up and running. This has been a problem when I've gone on vacation and I've come home to cloudy water. The refills are also pretty expensive, and can get a bit messy. It's all worth it, though. It keeps my tank in nice condition. :) |
