Fluval C2 Clip-On 5-traps aquariumfilter, buitenfilter, 38-115l

Dieser Filter läuft wie es soll. Nur der Motor ist etwas zu gut hörbar.Sonst. Gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. Strömung ist mehr als ausreichend. Würde ihn nochmal kaufen.

Este es un gran filtro, es el segundo que compro para un nuevo acuario, el primero lleva 10 años funcionando. He usado prácticamente casi todos los más famosos filtros de mochila pero este lo hace diferente, funciona como un canister, está dividido en módulos por lo que acceder a cualquier parte del filtro es muy cómodo, para limpiar la esponja simplemente sacas la bandeja trasera sin tener que tocar otras partes del filtro (tiene un avisador que te dice cuándo debes hacerlo) pues lo mismo ocurre con cualquiera de los módulos que se extraen por separado, la cesta roja la puedes llenar con material biologico (olvídate del carbón, solo se usa en casos puntuales) la última etapa de filtración es el módulo de filtración seco-humedo, esto hace que las bacterias beneficiosas reciban un aporte extra de oxígeno y las hace más efectivas. El tema de la limpieza del filtro en general puede ser algo más meticulosa puesto que la pieza que hace el milagro de bifurcación de agua en 2 sentidos es más compleja (una vez que lo haces ya lo comprenderás y te resultará muy sencillo. El filtro siempre se reinicia si hay un corte de luz (mientras tengas el nivel de agua a la altura aproximada de la salida del filtro, así nunca perderás el sifón) solo tienes que cebar en la primera puesta en marcha o cuándo haces cambios de agua, a partir de ahí despreocúpate si se corta la luz, REPITO, EL NIVEL DEL AGUA DEL ACUARIO DEBE ESTAR AL NIVEL DE LA SALIDA DEL FILTRO O PRÓXIMA. Menudo tocho que he soltado.

I have the c4.It's great and I have been in the hobby for over 30 years.I am using it on a 20 gallon tank.You can never have too much flow rate.To slow the turbulence I use a Fluval Edge prefilter, the flow adjuster and an aquaclear 50 foam sponge at the water output.Let me comment on a few negatives people have written about this filter.1) The water in my tank is crystal clear and as Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise said in "A Few Good Men" ...."It's that simple." "Are we clear?" "Yes, sir." "ARE WE CLEAR!?" "Crystal" ..... LOL,love that movie.To those who said the water is cloudy, yes, it was at first. I think it was because of the C nodes. You need to either rinse it clear for hours before using it or just let the filter do it in the tank. It took about 2-3 days to clear up but once it did, the water in my tank is crystal clear. I have been running it for 2 weeks and without the charcoal. I replace it with the aquaclear Biomax to increase the biological media. The Biomax and C nodes' fine powder dust clouded the water but like I said, it's clear crystal clear now. Just let the filter do it's job and the water will be crystal clear in a couple of days.2) My filter is so quiet that you don't know it's on. What I did was apply some vaseline onto the impeller shaft and into the hole of the impeller. I did this without hearing if it needed to or not. I just applied it before I used it. The motor has NO noise at all and the lid does not rattle. The only thing you hear is the water cascading out of the filter.3) The self priming issue is that you need to fill the filter box with water before you start it. Once it is filled with water, it will self primes when you plug it in. It will take about a minute to self prime as it sucks up the water through the siphon tube. To help the self prime and make it more efficient, I clogged the hole on top of the U intake tube. Now when you unplug the filter and replug it it starts right up without it needing to refill (self prime) the intake tube. If you do a water change and the water in the tank falls just above the bottom of the U intake tube inside the filter box you will need to refill the filter box otherwise it won't self prime. So add water into the box when you refill your tank and when you replug your filter, it will self prime.4) Try to buy the larger filter (C4) if you can. You can always change the impeller to the smaller impeller if you feel the flow it too much or modify it like I did with prefilter sponge and aquaclear 50 foam. With the bigger filter, it'll clean more and hold more beneficial bateria. And if and when you upgrade your tank, you won't need to buy a new filter. The impellers for the fluval C series and aquaclear are the same. Matter of fact, the motors are the same for all fluval C series and aquaclear except for the 110 model. It's the impeller that determines the flow rate and they are interchangeable between models and sizes except the 110.All the positives you've read about this filter is true.It's easy to clean, the red tab that notifies you that your filter foam needs cleaning is great; you are not stuck with any proprietary media which usually cost a lot more to replace; the foam pad and bio media DO NOT need to be replaced - just rinse the foam pad or bio media in used or dechlorinated water. They should last for several years. If you use activated carbon/charcoal which I don't, you'll need to replace them every so often depending on your tank load. You can buy any brand of activated carbon and put it into a nylon bag and it's save you money.Try to use a prefilter. It's attached to the bottom of the intake tube. It helps to catch the debris and uneaten food before it goes to the foam pad keeping it cleaner. It'll also increase your beneficial bacteria load and your fish will love to peck on it for the uneaten food. The only thing is that you'll need to rinse it once in a while or it will clog up completely and slow the filter down to a trickle. Just rinse it when you do your water change.Hope this helps.....may your fishes be happy and healthyUpdate: Feb 22, 2013. The filter is still going strong. The reading of the water has been 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 5 nitrate with weekly water changes. It would probably be the same with a water change every other week. And this is in a very overstocked aquarium. The only thing I need to do is rinsed the prefilter with every water change or it will clog up and restrict the water flow to a trickle and the water to the trickle part of the filter will not get any water. That's how good the prefilter is in catching the debris and keeping the foam and biomax clean. The red tab pop up device has never moved and when I check the foam it is very clean but I do rinsed the foam every 3 months and LIGHTLY rinse/shake the biomax every 6 months in used aquarium water. DO NOT buy NEW foam or biomax. Just rinse them. They will last several years if not forever especially if you use a prefilter and the prefilter does not need to be changed just rinsed also. I had to clean the impeller just recently since it wouldn't start back up/spin. It had a lot of slime. I just rinsed off the slime from the impeller and shaft and reapplied some vaseline and it was of and running like new. The water is crystal clear also.Update: Jan 13, 2015. The filter is still going strong. Still quiet as when I first bought it. I have upgraded my tank to 25 gallons and it's still working like a charm. I have not bought any replacements, just rinsed the prefilters, pads, biomax, c nodes and impeller. My readings are still 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 5 nitrate and I'm changing my water once a month and sometimes once every two months (getting lazy). This is a great filter.Updated.... Feb 22, 2016. The filter is till going strong. Quiet as when it was new. I did replace the form as it was wearing down from squeezing it when I clean it. All the bio medias are still in good and hasn't broken down. M water reading are the same. Changing water less frequent. Getting lazy because of the good water quality from the filter but not good for the fish which needs the minerals from new water and removal of nitrates.Update.....2/6/2019. The filter is still going strong. Have not replaced any parts except for the foam that i mentioned before. The motor is still quiet and pumping like new. The biomedia are still intach and have not broken down. I have not been as diligent in chaging the water as before. Been changing the water about every three months and the numbers still reading 0,0,5. Upgrading the biomedia and using the C4 will do wonders for your aquarium and ease maintenance care.

Excelente filtro, muy silencioso y práctico. Su diseño por compartimientos lo hace tener un mantenimiento fácil, cómodo y rápido. El espacio para la carga biológica es muy grande, ya cuenta con material biológico y carbón activado. Lo tengo en un acuario de 40 litros y ha trabajado muy bien, pronto lo pondré en uno de 80 litros. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
