I just installed a new AquaClear 20 HOB filter for my 16 gallon bowfront freshwater tank. This filter replaces my Aqueon filter which wasn't doing a good job of keeping my tank water clean. When I first installed the AquaClear, my tank water was very cloudy. Now after several hours of operation, my water is beginning to clear up. So far, I am very happy with this product. Setup and installation was easy. I love how the AquaClear has a lot of room for the biological, chemical and mechanical filteration. It also has a switch to reduce the flow of the water.

  • Hey I'm thinking of buying this filter can you clear up some stuff for me please. I was wondering the ceramic bag that's at the top do you ever have to change that? or do you just rinse it out with water and does that also apply for the sponge? I'm pretty sure you have to change the carbon bag eventually so how do you do that and where do you buy it? I would appreciate the help thanks!

  • I think you should distribute biomax at whole sponge area. You left some gaps and unfiltered water just run throu. Nice tank

  • @ericmos100 almost ever filter sucks fine sand. Just try to get the biggest filter size so it won't clog as easy

  • @MyFishCare101 Yes. This filter uses a decent sized sack of activated charcoal (carbon) to remove any impurities left by the sponge filter.

  • does the filter come with the ceramic noodle things?

  • @MyFishCare101 Yes it uses carbon, biological, and a mechanical filter...

  • Besides the biological part, does this filter use anything else to clean the water like carbon?

  • hey if you want you could put bio balls in the side with the tube/ left side for best bio filtration to use that extra space hope this helped. it might be a little noisier though
