  • Adjustable flow control knobĀ 
  • Excellent for small aquariums under 10 gallons
  • Great betta tank filter

This nano hang-on-back filter is excellent for aquariums under 10 gallons. It moves 52 gallons per hour and has an adjustable flow knob for fish who need lower flow such as bettas. It comes fully equipped with media and an intake sponge. However, upgrading to ourĀ mini pre filter spongeĀ is idealĀ as it offers greater coverage of the intake tube with less clogging from debris. Hot rod this filter by adding coarseĀ sponge to the media portion rather than the provided cartridges.

Replace The Cartridge

The disposable cartridge in these filters is designed to be replaced, however we recommend customizing this filter with your choice of sponge pad, polishing pad, or even an active media pad such as the phosphate media pad or carbon infused media pad.

The Perfect Purigen Filter

This tiny hang-on-back filter is the perfect size for purigen, allowing you to have a dedicated transparent filter where you can easily see when the purigen needs to be recharged. This filter makes it easy to add purigen or any other chemical media to any aquarium, even if you use sponge filters, or canister filters.

Not just a filter ā˜ŗļø

Not only is this the perfect filter for a five gallon tank but it also propagates plants like a champ! If Aquaclear/Fluval made a version 10 filter, this would be it. The adjustable flow is perfect for Lucky Luciano to live out the rest of his days. šŸ’š

Nano filter

I thought I’d get this for my 5 gal no filter betta cube to run filter floss in just to polish the water some. This filter is a bit louder than I was expecting and it sort of buzzes against the tank. It drives me nuts and the betta too I’m sure so I just run for a couple of hours after a water change so it’s not a complete loss. Oh yeah and the lid really vibrates when you set it in place.

Great little filter

So I got this filter for my 10-gallon betta tank. I wanted something to complement my sponge filter as the water was kind of murky, but I did not want to add too much flow to his tank. This was a great addition. I have a rimmed tank, so it did not fit as perfectly as it probably would have had I had a rimless tank, but it fits well enough to work. His tank is nice and clear. I’m happy with it.

Whisper Quiet

I have a 6 gallon cube that this worked perfect on. Super quiet. Looks great and customizable. I hot rodded it by using the Co-op course filter pad.

Perfect filter for my 5.5 gal!

It was packaged nicely, and came with a STCIKER! The filter itself was easy to set up. I love the adjustable flow. It’s also very quiet! The filter lid makes a tiny bit of noise but it not noticeable among my other filters and humming sounds XD I’ll definitely be buying from here again!

Perfect in my 5.5 gallon betta tank

I got the filter because my old one I bought from a big pet box store hurt my betta chiquito. I’ve watched aquarium co-op YouTube videos and decided to see what filters they personally sold as I trust the opinion of fish experts much more than I do myself. I made sure to watch the video about this particular filter and it shipped extremely quick and I’ve had no issues and absolutely love it I did get a upgraded intake sponge for extra protection which I definitely recommend doing because the original is very tiny and came squished .

Im very happy with the new filter and so is chiquito (he is in a isolation divider while he heals from his previous filter injury)

Works beautifully

I am very pleased with the filter and pleasantly surprised that it was smaller than I expected. I also purchased a larger pre-filter sponge and it works great in my 3 Gallon nano planted tank.

Betta approved

Perfect for my UNS 12 gallon long. Upgraded the pre filter sponge and hot rodded with course sponge. Utilize 2, one for each half of the tank. Betta has zero issues with current.

cool!

this thing is cool! i usually use sponge filters exclusively but wanted to give this a try in my 5.3gal white cloud minnow cube. They are really vibing with the extra flow this provides! I love that it has a knob to adjust the strength of the flow. What's also really important to me is that it auto-restarts in the case of a power failure. I 'hot rodded' it as Cory recommends by replacing the stock intake sponge with the Aq Co-Op coarse product and adding some additional coarse sponge (cut to size) to the filtration chamber. Overall really happy with this product as well as the recommendations/marketing that went into bringing it to my attention.

Quality Little Filter

I initially set this up on a new 5-gallon shrimp tank. I think because it was a little snug, it rattled and was quite loud. I ended up putting a piece of filter sponge between the filter and tank rim. This drastically helped with the noise and I haven't had any problems yet.

Won't Fit Rim of 20 Long

I purchased this little HOB filter to polish the water of my tanks, including two Aqueon 20 longs. I thought it would be handy to have if I wanted to customize it with additional media like the fine poly pad which I purchased, or other things.

The plastic hanging area will not fit over the rim of the tank, it can't be placed low enough to match the line on the filter with the tank water line. The product description says it is great for tanks under ten gallons, but I wasn't planning to use it for main filtration. I'll put this down to my own personal misunderstanding. Another small gripe here, the filter I received was a Finnex Pure 7, but the product description didn't give the identity of the product. I like to research items before purchase, but took a chance on this one.

Otherwise, the filter runs fine. My only complaint is I have difficulty turning the flow knob, especially when wet.

Awesome, quiet, and customizable filter

I ordered this to go on a Fluval Chi that I was upgrading; it fits the rimless tank with no issues. I put a sponge over the intake and used my own filter media, floss, and pad. If the water level is high enough, this filter is nearly silent.

Nice filter, but way too powerful for my 7gal betta tank

Just received this today, set it up, and it's way too powerful for my 7gal betta tank. Even shutting down the flow as much as possible, and baffling with some sponge on the output, my little guy won't go to that side of the tank. :(
I have been running an Azoo Mignon-60, and I guess I'll have to buy another. I thought this was pretty comparable, but much larger/stronger.

Great little HOB filter

I’ve been using this for a couple months in a 5g betta tank. I couldn’t be more happy with it. This is a great product.

Nano filter

Purchased the filter for a 10 heavily planted tank with a betta and two powder blues. It's working out well.

Small but mighty

I have at least three of these on various tanks. They're small, and so easy to add onto a tank for additional filtration, flow/aeration, or to run some carbon. I often put one of these nano filters with some fine filter floss on a new tank to help the water clear faster. Great little product.

Clears the water

I run this for my 10G tank. It already has an ACO sponge filter but the water was still more cloudy than I wanted. I added this small HOB and the water cleared up perfectly. The included sponge and carbon chamber are tiny- I replaced them with my own sponge and filter floss. It tends to overflow at full speed, but the throttle dial reduces the flow so it is not spilling over and works just fine. The included intake sponge also tends to clog, i may replace it eventually with an ACO small pre-filter sponge.

Great little filter to clear out the tannins from some new wood. It is just the right size to hold 150grams of Purigen. This is a really good value too.

Dave B. (Copperas Cove, TX, US)

Fantastic little filter! It is DEAD quiet; I could sleep with one under my pillow.

When installing the filter, you'll need to add some water to the filter chamber in order to engage the impeller. I was scratching my head for 10 minutes, worried that I'd gotten a dud before I thought to do this. Once there's water in the filter for the impeller to "grab," it circulates easily and silently.

A great little nano filter

I have purchased two of these awesome little filters; one for my 5 gallon shrimp tank and the other for my 6.8 gallon long. They are extremely quiet, which is important for me, since both tanks are in my bedroom. So far they seem to be a very good value for the price. Time will tell how long they hold up, but I'm hopeful.
