    I used that filter that you were mentioning and i found it was useless for me.

    I had to upgrade to a fluval U2 as i found the 1 Plus was leaving my water very stagnant because it had trouble filtering the water in my smaller tank. It also started making an awful screeching noise after about a year which was LOUD!

    My advice would be to go for the U2 as it is very much quieter and has a 3 stage filtration system which will help you keep the nitrate levels in your tank at a safe level which you will need especially for the fish if you choose to add them.

    This is only my opinion from my own personal experienceso let me know how it goes for you. Gav

    Thank you. So far, it seems to be doing a good job. I am changing half the water each week, which might be the reason why the water looks clear (this and the moss ball used). I did hear about the hissing sound, too. And we've been noticing that depending on how it is in our tank, or if we move it, the sound becomes much louder, and a tad irritating. A few more months, and if it doesn't work, we will gor for the U2. Thank you, frogman.
