(Packaging may vary.) desertcart.com AquaClear Power FilterThe AquaClear Power Filter represents one of the most versatile hang-on filter systems available. The five models available provide a complete selection of flow rates for the most popular sizes of aquariums. The filter’s unique design allows for up to six times more media volume and the longest water to media contact time in the industry.Superior Contact with AquaClear FilterPatented Re-filtration System Sometimes delicate fish and plants require a more gentle water flow. The patented AquaClear re-filtration system allows you to control the flow rate without compromising filtration efficiency. When the flow rate is reduced, up to 50% of the water within the filter chamber is processed multiple times.CycleGuard Multi-Stage Filtration System Provides optimal mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. A healthy aquarium requires "beneficial" bacteria. Invisible and harmless, beneficial bacteria are essential in the removal of toxic ammonia and nitrite. With cartridge filtration systems, when you throw away the cartridge, you throw away beneficial bacteria. It can take weeks for the bacteria to re-colonize, resulting in a stressful environment.Typical Filter Media Placement:BottomAquaClear Foam Insert, which does the following: 1. Helps with debris removal and provides optimal water distribution patterns, allowing subsequent filter media to perform at full efficiency. 2. Biological filtration, due to the porous structure of foam, providing surfaces for beneficial bacteria.MiddleAquaClear Activated Carbon Filter Inserts contain 100% premium research grade carbon. Premium research grade carbon provides large amounts of surface area for adsorption of undesirable impurities.TopAquaClear BioMax Filter Inserts contain BioMax ceramic rings. The surface of BioMax is made up of a complex pore system that allows bacteria to thrive.AquaClear Power FiltersPower Filter MaintenanceFor maximum filter operation and efficiency, regular cleaning of the filter and its parts is recommended every two weeks.Always unplug the Aquaclear Power Filter prior to cleaning.First you want to remove the cover, filter basket, and discard water remaining in the filter case. Thoroughly rinse collected debris from the case, impeller cover and impeller assembly using clear lukewarm water.Then intake "U" tube and extension tube can be cleaned with a filter stem brush to remove any build-up of deposits.When all parts have been cleaned and thoroughly rinsed, reassemble filter and replace any scheduled media. Install the filter once again back on the aquarium making sure that the filter is tipped slightly forward.Then fill the AquaClear filter box with aquarium water. Finally plug the filter into an electrical outlet and the AquaClear will self-prime and begin running in a few seconds.Media ReplacementAquaClear Foam Filter Insert: Replace Foam Filter Insert every two months.

Review: Good filter but..... - Good filter and does what it is intended to do. I always use a larger filter than what is recommended for the size of my tank. As a starter tank for my daughter we got her a 20 gal tank package that came with a cartridge type HOB filter. The cartridge type filter becomes overwhelmed very quickly and will not last the recommended 30 days. After about two weeks with an under populated tank we noticed the water clarity going down. After a few hours of running this filter before a water change the water quality improved significantly. Only complaint with this filer is that it came very scuffed up on the housing of the filter and extremely dirty. The lid is warped and doesn't fit right otherwise it would be a 4 star. Filter is functional and fairly quiet and has a water flow adjustment. It does not come with the water intake pre-filter as the images suggest. I did not find the motor to be noisy as other posts suggested or at least not noisy enough to complain about and quieter than the last filter which we purchased from Petsmart. UPDATE!!!! - 6/14/2025 - as mentioned above the lid on my product was warped and does not fit right. After about 1 week of running this AC70 filter, water was pooling around the tank. The filter was leaking water where the motor connects to the housing. I tried to tighten it and reseat the motor, no luck and the leak continues. In the pictures you can see where the minerals are drying where the water drips from. desertcart is replacing this product so I hope the next product functions correctly. By the way the majority of the images for this product are of the Fluval AC70 and not of this product which is made by Fluval but of cheaper quality. If the new one has problems Ill return it as well and spend more for the actual Fluval. UPDATE PART 2 -6/17/2025 - New (replacement) product arrived from desertcart and it was in much better condition than the previous product. It was not all dirty and the filter housing was glossy and not scratched like it had been used. I promptly changed out the old filter for the new one and overnight there does not appear to be any leaking. In the removeable motor housing there is an "O" ring that helps create a water tight seal. It is possible that on the old filter that it too could have been damaged or old. Not sure if this was a quality control issue or if these were from different manufacturing sites because even the durability of the plastic housing and lid seemed better. Initially I gave this product 3 stars due to the damage to a new product. Since the product is now functional and looks like a new product and does exactly what it is supposed to do I upped to 5 stars. On a side note I would highly recommend the the intake filter that does not come with this product but is a very cheap item. I thought it was just for larger particulate matter but when I was replacing the filter I removed the intake filter to use it again. I brushed off the larger visible particles and decided to give it a quick rinse. When I rinsed it I notice that it collected a lot of fine particulate matter and had to rinse it about 3-4 times before it ran clean. Also after about a week of the old filter running the white foam filter showed almost not dirt or discoloration. When I rinsed that filter it showed no dirty run off. Conclusion - intake pre-filter is a good investment!
Review: AquaClear 70 Power Filter Review - I LOVE my AquaClear 70 Power Filter -AquaClear Brand AquaClear Power Filters are some of the best types of filters for any tank ranging from 10 gallons to 100 gallons. Plus they are form Hagen some of the best top notch filters. AquaClear is a part of Hagen and competes with Hagens Fluval Filters which are almost the same as AquaClear Filters except that Fluval is a little more flashy and efficient. Fluval is a little better looking and efficient but if you want the same results as Fluval with a lower price tag get an AquaClear Power Filter. AquaClear has also been around for ever. Fluval power filters are just refined AquaClear Power Filters. You get the same results. I Prefer AquaClear -My desertcart Experience This is the first item I buy Through desertcart and I'm loving it. Great FAST Shipping even though I got the Free Super Savings option which can take up to 8 days for the delivery. I received this filter only four days after I ordered it. Packaging could have been better thou even thou the filter arrived un damaged. They should have added more air bags to the box to prevent my filter from moving so much. This might have been one in a thousand thou. My product was completely new as advertised and exactly as described. It was an easy ordering process too. I loved my first desertcart Experience. =Setting Filter Up Very Very easy. Instructions are clear and The filter comes with everything to set it up out of the box. It was almost as easy as plug and play things. Just make sure you have the filter case full before you plug it in or it could damage the motor or impeler or both. it is not supposed to run dry. -My Set-up and plans for Filter I currently have the AquaClear 70 Power Filter in a 20 gallon tank with 5 Mollies (One Male, 3 Female, and one fry!). Now I Know you might be thinking that this is a little too much filtering for this size tank but I am planing on getting a some more fishes (different species) and I am also going to let the mollies reproduce (This will fill up my tank). I am also going to put some aquatic pants and shrimp. If this tank starts to look to crowded in the future (because of fishes and/ plants reproducing) I am probably going to start selling some of the plants and baby fish to help out with costs and maybe get bigger and better stuff -Current tank Status With Filter So far my Tank water is super clear and my fishes are doing great. -Filter and tank Maintenance A lot cheaper to maintain than most Power Filters especially Fluvas because you don't really use cartridges and you can use virtually any kind of media aslong as it fits in the large filter basket. You don't really have to buy AquaClear replacement media. You can buy for other cheaper brands as long as it fits, you can also put custom things in it like new kitchen sponges to replace the stock filter sponge/foam. You never really need to replace the BioMax in fact I would encourage that you didn't replace the BioMax because the bacteria that it accumulates is heathy for you aquarium, you can rinse it and clean it every now and then but don't clean and or replace all the media in one day thou or else you fishes will suffer (Ammonia Spikes). Clean you BioMax every six months to a year and do the other maintenance every month or so. You do need to replace the activated carbon as instructed but you don't need to get the AquaClear Brand, you can get cheaper generic brands. You can clean ornaments and plants as you wish. Do 20% water changes every week or 25% water changes every two weeks just to help your tank health and filter.Use a gravel vacuum. (this is recommended for all tanks filtered or unfiltered) -I've also seen that it is customizable on YouTube for different things -YouTube Watch this review and comparison on youtube[...] Reviewed by Mike on his you tube channel: AquariumTech This guy does a lot ton of filter reviews and he ranks AquaClear Power Filters as being some of the best power filters out on the market for tanks 10 gallons to 100 gallons. -Suggestions Get a Mag Float Glass cleaner for when cleaning you glass(for algae or grime) or get an algae eating fish Pick your fishes carefully and make sure they get along Please have your tank go through the nitrogen cycle before you fish in your new tank set-ups Do 20% water changes every week or 25% water changes every two weeks just to help your tank health and filter.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would the 110 be overkill for a 36 gal goldfish tank? Would the 100 work just as well?**
A: I run (2) 110's on a 90 gallon tank of exotic goldfish. That means I'm running 1000 gallons an hour through the filters on high. I've raised exotic goldfish for 50 years - goldfish are the DIRTIEST fish there are. They produce more ammonia than any other fish. These filters work great. I have some mini's - now called the 20's - which I have had for 35 + years, and they still run as well as the day I bought them. I ONLY USE AquaClear. Best filter out there! They last forever because there are no moving parts to break. There is only a magnetic impeller. In 50 years, I've only had to replace one intake tube that broke, and it was my fault! I tried a canister filter once, and quickly went back to my Hagen AquaClears. Easier to use, and as big as they are, you can use any kind of media in them that you want to use. You cannot go overkill on filtration for goldfish.

**Q: do you need to replace the filter media in time, and if so, how expensive is the whole kit**
A: I ditched the carbon early on, never clean the ceramic donut things and clean the sponge once every 6 months.  Have had it 2 years with zero issues and a very stable tank for fancy goldfish.   Love this filter.  Less maintenance and less noise than others.  I actually came here to purchase a second one for my tank to replace my old hang on the back filter.   So I will have two of these 60-110 gallon filters on my 55 gallon tank.   Sounds over kill but it’s not for them dirty goldfish lol.

**Q: Will the 110 fit on over the 1-1/4" tank edge of my 70 gal tank?**
A: 13 1/2"L X 6 3/4"W X 9"H with 4" of its width behind the tank.

**Q: How many Gallons of water per hour (GPH) does this filter handle?**
A: I am not sure, but I know it turns it over at least once per hour.  I can tell you I use it in a 100 gallon turtle tank (turtles are notoriously dirty) that is about 2/3 full.  It keeps the water sparkling clean and free of all debris all the time.  The water NEVER looks dirty.  I do clean the media and vacuum the tank once every 1 - 1 1/2 weeks, but I have been extremely pleased with this filter.  If it ever breaks, I will definitely get another.
