 Marineland HOT Pro System Canister Filter with Bio-Wheel Pro Apr 05, 2008
By Eric M. Lorenz
This is the best filter I have ever owned. I put it on my 20 gal tank and it is spotless. It filters by water almost 40 times every hour. It is really easy to take care of too. Just add carbon every month and that's it. Read the directions carefully. HINT: The directions are a little incomplete. When filling the filter with water, fill it till it overflows. That way you can be sure it's full. If not,you get an annoying running water sound. That brings up another positive. When it is full and you have a good seal, it is very quiet. My tank is in my bedroom and I have no trouble sleeping with the quiet motor.

Great mid-sized filter. Oct 18, 2006
By Jeremy
I love this filter for a medium sized tank. Has carbon, biological, and particle filtering all in one relatively small, and very quiet package.
Marineland PC0250SSB H.O.T. Magnum Pro Oct 15, 2011

My previous post: "When I tried to assemble the filter the Bio-Wheel coupling did not fit over the male portion of the Outlet Adapter BW Pro Tube from the filter. The Outlet Adapter Tube was not glued correctly such that the part that is supposed to couple with the Bio-Wheel is not at right angles and therefore impossible to line up with the coupling. I wrote to the supplier for a replacement Adapter Tube. Will update."
Now the update (belated): About 10 days after I sent the e-mail with photo to Big Al's Online I received the replacement part no charge. Filter and biowheel works perfect. I will definitely buy from Big Al's Online (through Amazon.com) again. I had used this filter before but without the biowheel. Simply love it. I especially like that I can have a clean micron filter ready to replace the dirty one and have the filter back to the tank running within 10 minutes without the mess. Highly recommended. I also use a Marineland PC0350PSB Magnum 350 for my bigger tank and love it for the same reason. When maintenance is easy you will do it regularly.
 There are better filters out there May 08, 2010

I have never had a filter give me so much trouble on start-up. I opened the box and the intake extension tube was missing. OK, I could make do. I put the filter together, put it on the tank and I have to say it started immediately. But then it started to gurgle, lose suction and go dry. I took it apart 5 times trying to find the problem. I checked the impeller, siliconed all the seals and removed and siliconed the intake hose where it meets the canister. Those intake and exhaust tubes are loose and leaky. I wanted to like the bio wheel, but it's just too big for the back of the tank. I don't want to cut out another section on my hood to accomodate it. The filter has been running for the past half hour. I don't know if that will last another minute or another year, but the aggravation experienced in assembling it isn't worth the money spent.
