I would get this prior to the start up of the tank. Great filter moves lots of water.

The product works ok….. but i had to call customer service 2 days after getting the product, because it stopped working! it happened to be that particles got caught in the flow valve and it needed to be cleaned…. i had to wait forever and they had no answer… when i asked if this would happen alot??!! Nor.. why did it happen only two days after getting the product….. i used to have two 30gal whisper filters in my tank (55 gal tank) for 2 years….now i tried something new and i have to clean it once a week!!!

Both filters were cracked. One filter was just cracked on the lid affecting nothing but the other ones back of the filter was totally busted. Still trying to get a water tight seal on the busted filter after months of trial and error. I do blame UPS for the damage and I also blame AQUARIA INC (MARINELAND)for shipping this in a box that barely held both filters. There wasn’t any space between the shipping box and the thin cardboard the filter are in. Thus leading my filters to be crushed. I can’t stand UPS they always damage my stuff. But with all that said they’re a very good filter! Hopefully you’ll be luckier than ,e and end up with a non-damaged filter.

The first Penguin Bio Wheel 350 that I bought for my 55 gallon worked 2 1/2 years flawlessly. Then after changing the water in my tank back in January it died. I tried everything customer service recommended, but it just wouldn’t work. I bought another from my local pet store that day. Three months later, after unplugging it to clean my tank, it too died. I could hear the motor, but it just wouldn’t run. Yes, I added water to the reservoir before plugging it back in. Again, I called customer service, did everything they suggested and nothing. I needed a filter system fast and called the local store where I bought it and they kindly let me trade it in for another one.
That was April. It is now July. I unplugged it for one second this morning and now it won’t come back on. I tried cleaning every square inch of the filter, the propeller, the housing, called customer service, and they were no help. The lady was quite rude, actually.
I’m now forced to buy a new system today in order to save my fish. I don’t have the time to wait to order online. I will not buy from Penguin again, as there is definitely something wrong with this model and their customer service. I kept everything clean and well-maintained. It’s a shame, because it is a great filter system when it works.
The first unit that did last 2 1/2 years had a different box. Perhaps they changed the model in some way, cheaper parts perhaps, that makes it inferior to the one I bought 3 years ago. Anyhow, I felt compelled to leave this review so this doesn’t happen to someone else.
