OASE Indoor Aquatics Filtosmart 100, Black, 4 Piece Set

I buy a new filter with each tank I set up. These FiltoSmart 100s are my favorite for small tanks. They are a nice compact size that can accommodate a good amount of filter media, they have a stand that's removable in case you want to put it somewhere with less space, you can integrate the header right in the unit, and cleaning is easy. I like how there is an assembly that both tubes connect to, and you can give the assembly a twist and it disconnects both tubes and allows you to remove them together without any water spilling out. Then you can service the filter, and twist the tube connection assembly back on and you're done. And it's very quiet. I have two running behind me and I can't hear either of them.

The build quality is amazing, easy to set up. Very fast to clean with out making a mess.

the pump is quiet and powerful suction, but the hose is too short, I need to buy one more hose.

Have this running on our 29 and wish I would have just stayed with the brand we use on all our other tanks. The water flow is very night, can barely feel it coming out the spray bar. Also, it was more complicated to set up than our favored brand with stiff parts we were worried we were going to break. For a 20 gallons or less I might like this more, but it said up to 30 gallons and on a 29...it just doesn't measure up. Very quiet though so that IS a plus!

It only came with one hose & for over $100 should have came with everything. very disappointed. Smfh

Oase was a high standard product missing parts didn't even come with heater or inflow pipe the tubes they sent were crushed package was fine but they put them in there anyways

Best guess for people who are complaining about the instructions is that they have never put a canister filter together before. I had no trouble even without looking at the instructions and I'm happy with the flow and the ability to control it. Time will tell how it holds up for the price it's very nice option if you can't afford an EHEIM.

The filter is very quiet and seems to be working well. What I did not appreciate it was shipped just in it's own box without any protection from damage. It was an obvious repackaged item and missing a filter bag. Thankfully that was all that seemed to be missing and it did not seem to be damaged. One of the blue nuts was lodged in one of the black pipes. So please keep this in mind when ordering, it may be previously opened and may be missing items.
