Although recommended for 220 sq ft. Is it really efficient?or it's actually for 100 sq ft? I use aquarium canister filter and it's always rec 3x.

On the high setting it seems very efficient. Has what feels like a high cfm output. Should be able to move plenty of air considering good placement and a clean filter.

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!

It says 100 ml treats up to 50 gallons of water so I would assume 2 would be too much. I use 100 ml for 46 gallons and the tank is sparkling and only water changes every 4 or 5 weeks

I agree with A. riches 100% I too have a 29 gallon tank and use 100ml in an AquaClear 70, my tank is understocked and my organic waste is minimal so I only recharge every 6 months and my water quality remains impecable, the ammonia is 0, the nitrites are 0 and crystal clear, Purigen is truly amazing stuff if used correctly.

I have 2 Mediums on a 100gal freshwater and they are the best filters ever. Been running strong for 8 years. That being said, get the large.

This unit is for 110/120 volt AC and the lamp is included. I have had mine running for the better part of a year and it is still doing a good job. Eventually the UV lamp will become less efficient and you will need to replace it (lamp only - not the whole unit). They say about once per year. It is designed for ponds up to 6,000 gallons so would be way oversized for most aquariums.

per hunter specs "For air purification in large rooms up to 365 square feet in size"- personally our room is around 200 sf and it made a difference

Just to kinda help you out. I have a 75 gallon aquarium. I also have a fluval 406 canister filter. I use 2 350ml of purigen and it last for 6-7 months. It's not specific to gallons. It's based on how cloudy/discolored/dirty your tank is. 2 bags of 100ml would last me maybe 2 months.

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

I believe this filter will do what you need it to do with ease. I have been astonished by how well this filter works. I think the recommendation for the 56 gallon aquarium is because you mentioned it was a column and the water cycling is a little harder to draw the water from the bottom. I think you will be fine with this Fluval C4.

Actually for turtles is 3x. Good fish are also extra dirty so 2x is recommended so in a 65 gallon tank this filter would be more than atiquite

We had it in a 125 gal aquarium. I believe it was quiet. To be honest we didn't use it long. Was a waste of money. If you have a good filter you really won't need it. We bought a filter that works for up to a 300 gal tank and we haven't needed a skimmer.

On a saltwater aquarium you should use as big of a sump as you can possibly fit into the area you have designated for it. On a 125gallon aquarium you should use at least a 35-40 gallon sump as a minimum. In this scenario bigger is always better. As far as the sock filter this is just to catch particulate material before it enters the sump. It is a personal preference as weather to use this type of set up or not. Usually they are noisy because the inlet into the sump has to "dump" into the tank where as if you have a floss chamber in the sump you can feed the inlet side directly into the water in the sump essentially eliminating any noise from the flow of water.

Bett....there are extensions for the intake and will work at a lower level. The output doesn't come with exemptions, however something could be made very easily (if needed). In my 120gal aquarium, my intake is closer to the bottom. I can drain the tank to just above the intake and it still runs fine. Keep in mind, these filters have a strong output. I do not have turtles and if the output is above the waterline, it may get a tad rough in there. Someone more familiar with turtles could probably touch on that a bit more.

I have a 2000 sq. ft. house. It does all but the back two bedrooms (about 1700 sq. feet effectively), but that is more of a wall / air flow limitation. I would say about 1500 sq. feet is the ideal for the unit, but you can effectively get up to 2000+ sq. feet depending upon layout / air flow limitations. That is with ozone. I have tried similiar units, and for what it does, this is a great value for the money, regardless of size space.

I think you will be happy with this filter. I am using one in my 200 gal fish tank I like it because 1. it is a good filter 2. It keeps the water oxygenated. ( lot's of bubbles ) :-) when I get my 75 gal tank ready I all ready have one for it.

Depending on the size of your tank, the more circulation the better. I have a 60gal with a built in wet n dry sy1 (626) 915-3636stem. & I'm using the fluval 306 as 2nd filter. Got 4discus, 4angels, & 3silver dollar. 11 fishes doesn't seem much for 60gal. But the discus fishes are a good size. For what I have "YES" 2 filters works best & 10% water change every 3wks. Hope this helps u decide ?
