Have you use this filter to fill your onboard tank, just wondering?

Yes,... I've fill the onboard reserve tank using a hose and filter. You need to flush out the filter first beforehand though.

No, I never have but I think it would be useful for that. I don't do dry camping with my unit so this filter is hooked to the incoming pressured water supply. I change it out for a new one every couple of months. I also use a zero water pitcher for my drinking water.

Yes. I use it all the time to fill my tanks and when bypassing the tanks for direct flow. I do have another filter installed though just because I like clean good tasting water.

Yes I do use it to fill my tank, I also use it when my site has water. Just make sure you flush some water through it before you hook it up the charcoal filter leaves sediment in the residual water.

We have used it with our water hose at camp ground & also to fill the holding tank. Does a great job filtering the water before we use it.

Yes. Should go thru a pressure regulator, or fill slowly, or filter will not get a chance to do its job. But it did a good job of filtering .

It would probably be great for that size tank. The instructions are worthless but even still it's not difficult to setup. It's a really good filter for the price

Sorry can't really help as my setup is small - 30lit tank. I use my Maxi-Jet inside the tank to filter my tank water. It's not the best setup but after spending Au$100+ I'm determined to use the pump for something.

Ur going to make a really big mess of the filter and inside, but I sucked a lot of automotive fluids up just not huge amounts at a time and it seems to do ok. There might be something out there more directly suited to that specific task though.

Yes, I'm running it in mine. I have a plexi and I think it does a great job. I also have this on my 20 gallon puffer tank. You'll love it. Much better than the other makers.

I have not, but this is a 2 stage filter which is good for almost all water. If you have really bad water, then changing this filter as recommended might not be a bad idea since they recommend you change them frequently, or using a 5 stage filter if possible. You should find out what kind of contaminants are in your water and what these filters are capable of filtering. Just my opinion, but any water that is distributed to the public and doesn't need to be boiled first should be fine when using this. My water here has an almost sweet or bitter taste and the filter gets rid of that and I haven't changed the filter yet for a couple months.

No - this is a filter on its own and is powered by an air pump. If you want a sponge over the intake of your HOB, search for fluval pre filter sponge.

Yes that would be enough filter for your tank size. xp3 would be enough. I have had these filter for about 10 years now. Work well.

I installed a water blocking canister filter http://www.northerntool.com/images/product/2000x2000/170/170308_2000x2000.jpg right under the wheel well where the filler neck is. Works perfect. I've had it now for a few years. I wanted a filter just in case there was any debris in the tank. Plus if it gets condensation in it the filter will pick it up and stop flowing before it lets it pass.

What is the filter reset tank that you are referring to? I recently changed out my tank at home. Thanks

Yes but i would suggest getting a larger filter than the one that comes with it. Great little tank though.

This filter has a "lip" that allows the filter to hang over the tank into the water. I hope that answers your question!

This filter didn't work out for me. Mine started making noises too. It then stopped working all together. I've replaced it with the Tetra whisper power filter. We have three tanks all using this filter and have had no problems.

I switched from an otw filter to a sponge for my 10gal tank. It works even better! Surely there must be an appropriate sponge for your 60 gal.

I use this in addition to my fluval 304 canister on my 55 gallon aquarium. This does a great job as a helper filter, but I have to clean it almost daily. I don't know how well it would do as the only filter for your tank. It does such a good job pulling out muck that it becomes clogged very quickly and needs constant upkeep.

YES, I am running this on my 55gal tank for the last 5 months. working out great!!

No this is an extra layer of filter. It will not supply enough oxygen to your tank.
