Will this actually filter a 135 gallon tank? All information I have read, is you want your filter to run all the tank water through 4 times an hour!

I have one of these on my 140g. It works great but I also have a Emporer bio wheel, the bigger one. It depends on what you are keeping. I have big carnivores so I have to do twice a week water changes and extra filtration. I do recommend this pump.

The honest answer is a NO unless your have very light stock aquarium, the flow rate too weak for anything bigger than 75G. You will need 2x G6 system for 135G tank. I'm using G6 just because the easy maintenance and I'm using 2x G6 for my 125G Cichlid tank and I have to clean mechanical filter every 3 days to keep the flow optimal.

The filter is not going to be a problem. I have this on 9000 gal with 3/4 hp just make sure you leave filter on enough to filter whole pool. Figure gpm that pump does.

It is rated for up to 160 gallon, but in actual use I would say probably a 90 gallon. It has a flow rating of 330 gallons per hour but that is with no media so in actual use the flow would be less. It really depends on how many fish and type of fish you are going to keep. I have this filter on a 90 gallon and keep African Cichlids. Normal wisdon says you need to cycle the tank 8 to 10 times per hour. So I run this filter and a 460 Fluval.You will have to decide how many times per hour you want to cycle your tank and how many inches of adult fish you will eventually have?

Yes that would be enough filter for your tank size. xp3 would be enough. I have had these filter for about 10 years now. Work well.

Spend your money on a better quality filter. I bought 2 of these and they were both Chinese junk. The modeling was so poor on the motor housing that they leaked everywhere. The company did refund my money and told me to keep the filters....I was able to epoxy the inside of one and use it, the other was a total loss. To answer your question: if you get a working filter it should be fine for a 100 gallon

i thought this can only filter 25 gallons? I'll have to go back to my manual to verify. 265 gallons seems like way too much. even my bad ass water filters on my fishtank can't do that many gallons.

Personally I think it may be too much for that size tank. It would filter just fine and do a great job, my only reservation would be current. It would be pretty turbulent in there and the intake might suck in some fish in a heavily stocked tank.

Be sure your water level is to top of tank. I used 2 filters in mine for extra clean tank. I also opened top strainer 1/2 open. Mine is so quiet I have to check that it is running. If noise continues I would contact the company for a replacement.

I sat mine inside of a ten gallon tank when I was moving, it fits but takes up almost half of the tank. It will be fine if you have something less than 4-5 inches in there. Just keep in mind the water level has to be a certain level for the filter to function properly.

No this is an extra layer of filter. It will not supply enough oxygen to your tank.

Not a good idea with this model since the filter media slides into a slot on the top, if it were fully submerged the waste that'd be filtered out would then be released back into the tank, making it largely useless. There is a fill line indicated on the filter and you can adjust how high/low to set the filter. Hope this helps!

I am using it on my 5-gallon hex tank and it works great! I previously had a smaller filter (rated at 45gph) that was just not doing the job.

It would probably be great for that size tank. The instructions are worthless but even still it's not difficult to setup. It's a really good filter for the price

It's rated for 20-50 gal tanks so it should be fine on yours. Much better filtration than most I've used before and a lot easier to clean.

I use the filter for a 25 gallon tank. Seems to work well. The filter completely stops when the cartridges need to be changed. Hope that helps.

With a divider it would give each of them 5 gallons, but how would you handle the filter? If the divider is POROUS it would be OK. (Like a screen, not glass.) Otherwise the filter will only clean one side of the tank. But it would be quite nice for two bettas with a screen-style divider.

I have one mounted concealed from view in the filter/pump compartment of a Fluval Spec III (2.6 gal) and it works flawlessly. Should be fine in a 4 gallon. It's large, but it's flat.
