Valid

Changed the game in my tank (20gal). I started with a whole kit that had a filter with it which sucked. Bought this one to try it out, cleared up my tank in a couple days and it’s been clear since. Water tests improved dramatically which is really all you can ask for in a filter. Filters replacements are cheap too which is a plus. If I had to list drawbacks it would be the power of it which is too strong for my fish I had to work a sponge in there to slow it before it his the surface. Also very loud water sounds but there is zero mechanical noise to it. Overall quality filter and I’ve personally had success with it. This is a real review too idk what to say except 🥀 (2025 spring TikTok era) (those who know)

Large enough to really be effective and it's quiet et

Like this , because its large which means it covers a large amount if filtration. Its primed already, but be sure to fill the back resivor with water once plugged in..My tank is 25 , gallonsBut this covers up to a 50 gallon.I like seeing the wheel turning , just a mental note that it's working. Super quiet, I added another spare filter cartridge to the available slot, only one is included however...so overall..I thinks its a good product, and fair price. Only thing is that its high maintenance. Suggest that you replace cartridge every 2-4 weeks, and clean tube with baby bottle cleaner brush,( not included) once a month..good luck with that..a little too much work for me though.

The best filter, pump

I originally had a tetra pump and it failedI bout this marineland 75 penguin for our 10 gallon tank. We have it on the side of tank with the lid leaning on the pump and other edge. It's all working well. The wheel sometimes does not 2ork but after cleaning entire thing it works again. The pump makes ripples in water, the fishtank water is great fish are happy

Works Great, Biowheel does NOT turn. ~Puchased May 2023

I have kept aquariums since I was knee high to a duck and I KNOW Marineland has a Great reputation for having excellent products. I knew I couldn't go wrong with a HOB filter, especially being a Marineland!Puchased the Marineland Penguin 200 Power Filter, 200GPH May 2023 it has worked well on establishing a new aquarium, Up and Running on a 40 Extra high, Planted Aquarium (substrate: Soil,Sand, Gravel):The Filter comes with little plastic lids for the top of the filter covers the Intake/Filter area and the biowheel area. I did have to tape the biowheel cover to the filter due to minimal rattling (Easy fix, NOT a deal breaker) I like this idea of the lids it prevents splashing and lowering evaporation.Pump is quiet and has great lifting power to self-prime and great flow!The Intake tube is in 3 parts to customize the length for your particular needs. My Aquarium is 24" tall and therefore required both tubes to ensure collection near the bottom of the Tank. At the midsection of the intake tubing there is also a "flow control" gate/switch built into the tubing to draw in water at the mid level so you can pull water from just the bottom or both bottom and middle. Very cool design idea! :)This model has a space to hold 2 filter cartridges which is nice, especially if you have a planted aquarium and your "Finned Babies" are breeding machines! Anyone want some very Healthy and Robust Black Mollies, Molly Guppy Crosses!? lol More Babies = more waste! :(The pump has nice flow and cleans well.My experience, as my Planted Aquarium becomes well established/aged...Due to my tank size/shape and the inhabitants rapidly overpopulated their forever home, Mollies breed like Guppies, the Filter is not able to keep up with the waste load. I am currently dealing with brown algae in the water column as well as Population control as the filter struggles in keeping the water polished. :( (Using API Algeafix and Accuclear, along with 2-3 25-30% water changes weekly and having to rinse the filters every other day (water tests are all perfect, NO Ammonia/nitrates as it should be in a heavily planted aquarium).At a loss, I feel the filter is just not handling my particular Aquarium's demands... I ordered a larger Canister filter (link below) and will put this MarineLand Penguin 200 Power Filter on my 15gal. back-up/hospital tank it has no substrate, and minimal fake plants for the "Fin Baby's" comfort (should the need ever arise).To sum it up:I recommend the MarineLand Penguin 200 Power Filter, 200GPH for up to 40 gallon (Max) with MINIMAL population OR Strict Population Control!Recommendation: If you have 40Gal and are putting in Live bearers, I recommend going up a filter size or 2 because life throws obstacles at us and before you know it you have a tank full of Live Bearers and they can be tricky to re-home... not everyone has a neighbor with Fish Eating Fish nor can conscientiously send their babies to their demise.Also Note the Biowheel is basically useless, it does NOT turn. Do NOT let this one minor design flaw deter you from purchasing this Filter.Thank you for your time and Happy Aquarium Keeping! :)Canister Filter 370GPH w/UV light: https://a.co/d/2OWJ8QbPlease note that I have only just ordered this filter (Feb 2024) and cannot endorse or recommend the canister filter based on personal experience. The Canister I purchased is based on my needs and has MANY positive reviews. I included this for those who may be in a situation like mine & are curious as to what I am replacing the Marineland HOB filter with. ~Look for my review around April 2024

Perfect quality and quiet operation

The best! Replaced the identical item after 12 years of use. Just being on the safe side and replaced it. (Kept the old biowheel :)) This is a great filter system. It runs very quietly and keeps the tank super clean.

Great filter

Cleared up my cloudy tank. I bought a new 15 gallon tank; stock filter was poor quality. This filter immediately cleared up the tank.

Very hard to prime

Hard to prime. I can't prime it with the filter cartridge inserted. Even after removing the filter cartridge it doesn't prime very easily. Once I prime it and finally get it flowing, then I can insert the cartridge back in.It's very disappointing that the Bio-Wheel 100 is so hard to prime. I have a 150 in my 20 gallon long and a 350 in my 50 gallon low boy and I love both filters.

It works alright.

It's a cheap pump. It works until it doesn't. Either get 2 to have one as a back up when the first one goes out, of drop some money on a really high quality pump. I'm on my 3rd with one in reserve.
