Review: Works great on my 3.4 gal. Very small, for some reason I was expecting it to be a little bigger but its cute and works great. The insert is no good. But I left it in for now. I shoved an aquaclear (20/30) bio media bag in it and it just fit. Of course that media goes in a much larger filter so even if I removed half of it. And used filter floss with it. It would work great. For now just the media is working for me and it's quiet with great flow. It says it will work up to 7 gal. An I'm sure it would. But I would only put it on 5 gal max myself.
Review: Defective product. The filter did not start at all. Seems like the wiring or plug is faulty.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this filter have a flow adjustment?**
A: It does but it's an extremely minimal change in the flow, unless I got a defective one. If you've only got one filter on your tank, don't use this one.

**Q: Is there any type of "filter extender?" I need it to reach farther now.**
A: Not that I know of.  But, I bet you can go to your local hardware or builder store and find vinyl tubing that has a diameter that would snuggly fit over the end of the tube.  Then you can make it how ever long you need and cut it to size.  Bring the filter tube into the store and test it out on different sizes.  I'm sure something will fit on it.

**Q: I need an extension on the water intake, what is the longest length I can add to this filter?**
A: I was concerned also when i realized how short the tube was, but can say after a years use that this is one of the best filters I've ever used in my 35 gal tank.

**Q: Can I use this for a saltwater tank**
A: Hey Daniel, 

Thanks for your question. Yes, you can use this filter for a saltwater tank.

Such a tiny power filter!!! Who knew of such a thing existing??? Works great, easy to clean, keeps my 3 gallon long tank sparkling, and makes the water move alittle, too, which the fish seem to appreciate.
