Is this a good filter to install in a cabinet underneath the aquarium? I intend to buy this for a 20 gallon planted fish tank.

It is small and leak free but the filtration is simple but can be tuned to your imagination. I just feel a planted tank needs a bit of UV light in case of an algae problem. The price however is very attractive with easy set up.

Yeah, it works great. You will want a bigger model that can handle more water flow for a 20 gallon. But the brand is good and worth the money.

Yeah i would say it would work great for your application. It has a gentle flow, cheap, and easy to set up.

For Fresh water fish it works great and takes about 30 days before you would need to clean...also I would recommend that you add carbon filter into this canister as there is room in there as long as you remove one of the pads. : )

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'm not sure I understand your question. This is NOT an under gravel filter. It has two tubes that go over the top of the tank. They are not very big. The canister sits on the floor, shelf or cabinet under the tank.

I use this on a 20 gallon tank. It does not seem to have a very strong flow for its size I would not recommend using this in a small tank such as yours. The unit itself would be too large for your tank and too strong. If you have a good filter pump for your tank I would think that it would be sufficient for circulation.

No, the filter is to small and does not hold benificial bacteria well, you will always have high nitrate and ammonia levels, if your going to use that kind of filter, but a Marine land 350 or 400 bio wheel filter, your fish will thank you, see ya ;-)

I'm pretty sure it's perfect for you 20 gallons , I use one for a 30 gallons tall on a DIY trikle 10 gallons filter.

If possible, measure your current filter. It must be 20 inches long and no more than 2.5 inches wide. No wiggle room on dimensions

This is a filter that is designed for the 20 inch long Big Blue whole house filter system. It would not work in any undersink application as it is just too big. The whole house system I have uses two housings, the first in line from the source has this filter and the second has an active carbon filter. They last a long time and do a good job of filtering.

Absolutely. I have the 150 in a 10 gal freshwater planted aquarium. I also have 3 3gal tanks the the azoo 60 filters. The 3 gal tanks are divided with 2 bettas in each of them. What I like about them is they're adjustable flow. I use a little more than the lowest setting in the 3 gallons and I use about a medium setting for the 10 gal. Any other questions, let me know.

For a 20 gal aquarium I would use the 100. The 150 is what I use on a 45 gal which is more than enough. These filters are good and have not had any problems with them. The only reason I replaced my filter was for the slight upgrade and I just changed my whole aquarium system.

the filter can stick on the inside of the aquarium wherever you want to put it. The filter is huge though so I recommend the back. It isn't attached to the tank it is seprate so you can do pretty much anything with it

Yes. I have been using it for a goldfish ,, I am using a 10 gallon filter , the filter that came with the tank stopped working after about a week.

I have two of these on my 90 gallon tank. They fit well, and keep my tanks clean. I have 4 tanks, and each one has Whisper Power Filters - I am very pleased with them.

We have ours mounted under the sink and while the filter unit mounts on the wall, the tank sits on the cabinet floor. The unit takes over half of our under the sink space. There is not enough tubing to mount in the basement.

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.

It should do well in a 5 gallon tank. The only concern I would have is if it would fit, but with this filter you can position it either vertically or horizontally.

Yes u could add it between the layered medium of filters or as substrate in the bottom. I have this filter and a whisper mini-power filter for a full 10 gallon tank
