"Average performance, lots of gimmicks" |
I got one of these from a friend for a great price, otherwise I'd have probably passed on the millenium. Overall I've got no complaints, it moves water and keeps ammonia and nitrite at zero, exactly what a filter should do. When I first opened the box the filter housing was cracked and leaked water all over my floor before I noticed. Aquarium systems was kind enough to send me a replacement at no cost. The overall construction is fairly weak, the plastic is too brittle. I wouldn't buy another one just because I'm afraid it would be broken in the box just like this one.
The "wet/dry" deal is a gimmick, I can't tell that the bubbles do anything other than make noise. I've never been a fan of filter pads that have to be replaced, I much prefer the sponges like AquaClear filters use. I keep a sponge on the intake of my filter to trap the largest debris and extend the life of the filter cartridge. I'll probably hack the cartrdige apart to remove the carbon and wrap it with inexpensive quilt batting when the blue pad gets too clogged.
Overall I'd rate this filter as average, it flows more water than a similarly rated AquaClear filter but, it's built with cheap materials and has gimmicks instead of needed features like reusable media or silent operation. |
