To be honest, I Loved mine! I have since upgraded to a aqueon filter for my 75 gallon and is excellent as well! I swear by their filters. Bit don't ever buy their led bubble strips! They are all junk! :)

its pretty obivious the way filters are rated 10 for 10gal 20 for 20gal. 30 for 30 gal. your fine if u purchases the 20gal. my 30 gal.one works great

On the front of the box it says it is good up to 30 gallons. I have a 20 gallon tank myself but I use the next one larger and it does a great job.

I didn't like the Aqueon brand, the one I bought broke the first month I had it. It would work but I personally wouldn't buy it.

I use the filter for a 25 gallon tank. Seems to work well. The filter completely stops when the cartridges need to be changed. Hope that helps.

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

I think you'd have to keep it in a dry place. I use it for a 55g turtle tank indoors, and it works great. But I think for the price you could do better on outdoor "pond" filters.

It depends on the bio load in the tank and the frequency of water changes. I use mine on a 75 gallon freshwater tank with 16 Cichlids. I do 20 gallon water changes every week and this filter is much more than I need. Cichlids tend to be dirty requiring weekly water changes.

Yes. It may take up some space but it will fit. It is good to use a filter bigger than your tank size (ex: 15 gallon filter for a 10 gallon tank) if you have some thing in the tank that produces waste such as a turtle or fish.

Yes, the top fits a 20 LONG tank lengthwise and widthwise doesn't cover the WHOLE top of the tank. There is enough space for a HOB filter. The top comes with a small plastic piece than you can cut and slide on the back to fill the gap in the back, leaving room for the filter or whatever else you have. Without this, your tank will evaporate water MUCH quicker than it would without it. Also includes a little mini handle than has adhesive to lift the front side of the glass to feed fish/add carbon/fertilizer etc.

that all depends on what filter you have, for me i have a turtle and a 60gallon tank, so i use about 100grams on a fluval405 , and it lasts about two months with clear odorless water. your situation might be different , i think this should be more than enough if only for regular fish.

I have a 100 gallon tank with 6 giant cichlids, snails, plants etc... And my Fluval 406 keeps it crystal clear. Best filter ever.

Hi Edward, I have the big filter series that take two filters. I use it for a fifty gallon rubbr stock tank I keep in the basement to keep giant goldfish brought in from the winter. I keeps the tank clean as there are 8 really big goldfish. I usually pull out the two filters about every three weeks or so. I also take out the whole unit and clean out the scum from the unit, So-- 3 into 52 weeks in a year-- 17 or 18 times. These are messy fish, so maybe I change them more often than I need. Hope that helps.

No not at all.. the more filtration = healthier tank. .. I started with the over hang filters the aqua clear 110.. great fiters. I used 2 in my 120 GL. . you will like this filter . Just be careful with cleaning it. I broke part of the In take tube and I'm having a hard time finding replacement parts

Is the azoo mignon 150 power filter enough for a 50 gallon tank w/a lg .turtle in it ?

I'd say the filter is only good for a max of 60 gallons. I owned one on a 72gal African cichlid tank and with monthly regular cleaning had to replace the cartridges every other week or if would stop flowing.. Back to good ol fluval 05,06 series and it works like a charm. But with any filter you have to clean regularly.. Just depends how often

I used this filter in a 10 gallon tank full of Guppies. It did very well for about a year and then I changed the cotton and charcoal.

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.

Spend your money on a better quality filter. I bought 2 of these and they were both Chinese junk. The modeling was so poor on the motor housing that they leaked everywhere. The company did refund my money and told me to keep the filters....I was able to epoxy the inside of one and use it, the other was a total loss. To answer your question: if you get a working filter it should be fine for a 100 gallon
