Review: Quiet Game-Changer - How did I not know about external canister filters until now? For years I’ve been using those filters that hang on the side of the tank — the ones that sound like a mini waterfall the second the water level drops a hair. I’ve dealt with slimy filter pads that constantly need replacing, and when the filter inevitably failed after a year, I’d end up replacing the whole pricey unit. I was actually shopping for yet another one of those when I stumbled across the PONDFORSE 265GPH Canister Filter. I was skeptical at first, but the reviews were glowing. The price was a bit higher than what I wanted to spend — but once I mentally added up what I was already paying for pads, replacements, and frustration, I decided to give it a shot. I’m so glad I did. The canister was easy to assemble, and after following the directions, it started working perfectly right away. It’s completely silent — the only sound is the gentle flow of water returning to the tank, which is actually relaxing instead of annoying. My only complaint? The hoses. They’re thick, stiff, and require some effort (and precision cutting) to position correctly. It’s definitely not a “bend and go” situation. The product could really benefit from better tubing. But even with that flaw, I liked it so much that I bought two more for my other tanks. I haven’t needed to break one down for cleaning yet, but after watching someone else do it, it looks straightforward. Overall, this filter has been a total upgrade from the noisy hang-on-tank style — and I wish I had discovered canister filters years ago.
Review: Whisper quiet and makes the water crystal clear - This is a good quality filter system. It's whisper quiet and absolutely no leaks. It was very easy to set up. The water in my tank is crystal clear. Definitely well worth the money.

### ⭐ Terribly upset with this filter
*by A***T on July 3, 2025*

For this review I'm going to cover some quick facts. 1. Not easy to set up. 2. Randomly stops pumping. 3. VERY cheap quality materials used. 4. Doesn't clean effectively as mentioned. Now just to highlight these more. Set up is mentioned to be easy but there are no instructions given. I ended up following the video on here but they don't yell you a VERY important detail first which is you have to cut the tubing to make it straight. I didn't see that part until we already had it hooked up. We actually did cut the tubing prior but it wasn't enough when I thought it would be. This thing is very finicky when it comes to that. So about fifteen days in the water looked terrible and that's when I realized it had stopped pumping. I luckily still had both filters running. Now fast forward to this week..we lost power for four days. I had a battery backup so it's fine. We get power back on it takes forever to get it going again (see other notes about this) but we get it going. Now I thought we were fine so I turned off the battery pump. Woke up this morning and one of my 5yo cichlids is dead the other two are at the top of the tank struggling to breathe. Somehow in that time the pump stopped again. This time I hadn't had my additional pump because this one we thought was good but apparently not. Got it started again but this doesn't take away the issues. Tubing is clear and no clogs because I checked. When we looked inside we did discover how terrible the quality is on the motor and all that. So honestly I get wanting to save money .but I really can't stop crying over this because my saving money killed my fish. And sadly this happened before too with another product. We are out of the return window too so just overall terrible
