Excellent info.....I am looking at this filter for one of my 2 nano tanks. You answered all my questions and concerns. Very clear organized presentation, so thank you!
Thanks for the compliment. I am still very happy with the filter and recommend it. I’ve had no issues at all. Please use the Amazon link in description if you’d like to buy one. It helps me out a little! 🤘
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching! 🤘
Heavy duty! I like the stainless lily pipes but the price point if beyond what I'd like for a 10 gallon.
You can always just order the Lily pipe set! Though I don’t know the price on accessories.
Just got the pura 50 for a 5 gallon. I think it might be a little small for it despite their claim but for a shrimp tank the flow should be just right. Also have the UNS version of the 100 on the way. I need a new hobby, but I love trying out new gadgets.........
thanks for the review
Appreciate your input and I agree, I love new gadgets! 🤘
Hello, thank you for the video.
It looks like a nice looking filter but maybe the price of silence is a bit too high.
It seems some people have issue with it on amazon.
It is definitely a pricy piece of hardware. But, so is ADA stuff and there is a strong market for their stuff. I can’t justify ADA pricing, but this Landen filter seems like it might satisfy both the high end consumer and the cost savy aquarist. 🤷🏼♂️
As always, thanks for watching and the support. 🤘
Great review! I’m definitely on the fence between this and another brand. However, this canister really does look good. I’m assuming you’ve had great success since setting this up?
No issues at all. Running well. Haven’t even cleaned it since the video.
Purchased the LANDEN PURA 100 today! Can’t wait to set it up.
Sweet! Let me know how you like it after a bit. You’ll see I have moved this filter to yet ANOTHER tank in a video that will be released in a few weeks.
Still love this filter. 🤘🤘
Yo those clamps for the filter are normal plumbing collars. You can cut them off and get new ones but you would have to have a crimper to.
I found the pump housing comes apart rather easily and I have serviced the pump this way. My mistake complaining about the lack of serviceability. No need to remove those perma-clamps
What tanks are those? I love the curves!
The 10 gal. tanks with the curved front edges are Mr. Aqua brand. I can’t seem to find that brand anymore online but here is a link to another brand with the same style and size. These companies change names a lot it seems, and as far as nano aquariums are concerned, low iron glass is mostly the same. Give this brand a try maybe, I love the seamless curved edge a lot. Really nice for display Aquascapes. 🤘

@@ssaquascapes Thank you so much for the alternative!
ZooMed Nano 10 is plastic, but does a great job for a small fraction of the price. Also silent.
I’ll have to review it! 🤘🤘
@@ssaquascapes I would be interested to see how you compare it to these fancier ones.
@drewbert83 I’m non-biased as possible. If the filter works well, I state such. If you’re bored I have some early videos on my channel of the FreeSea filters from Amazon. Have three of them running still to this day. Love these filters but seems they are now unavailable. 😞
How would you compare this to the tru nano filter?
I have 3 tru nano filters and like the Landen one better. It is metal and silent when operating. The tru nano pumps have a noticeable hum at any speed. I hate noise from my aquariums so I prefer the Landen even at a higher price point.
How would you compare this to the uns blitz 32?
I have not had any experience with the UNS system. But I’ve had no issues with my LANDEN. Feature wise they seem similar. I’d say go with the one you like the color of.
What do you feed your Ramshorn Snails 7:00?
In that clip they are gathered on the remains of a stick-on-the-glass food tablet. But, most of the time they eat the shrimp food. I don’t target feed the snails. They aggressively find any fish food, etc left behind.
But will it blend?
I don’t think it makes a very good smoothie, but you could try! 🤷🏼♂️🤣
I have this filter and am working on the set up for situating it in relation to my stand/a shelf potentially housing the filter . I have a few options but, as you said, I wish the connectors were smaller. You mention having possibly using only 1 connector instead of two and I have seen them sold as a single. Could you explain how that would work?
I have since reconfigured my PURA 100 to have these valves inline on the hoses. Single on/off and no need to clamp them so easy to pop them off and maintain.
Amazon link for valves: amzn.to/3H13vkH
Hope that helps.
@@ssaquascapes just ordered the filter and the smaller replacement valves. Can you please explain the setup? Is it one valve per line? Bit confused, don’t mind my knucklehead’ness. Thank you.
Yup, one valve per hose. It is a simple shutoff valve with hose barbs on both side. Don’t use a clamp on the end closest the filter. Just pop that hose off for maintenance after closing the valve.
@@ssaquascapes when I pop off that hose, will there be water in that section attached to filter spilling out? Just trying to get a scope of the whole layout and maintenance.
@@rolandominueza2771 keep the hose from valves to filter short = less water. And disconnect from the valve not the filter = less spill.
They almost cost as much as ADA es-150. Well, there's still a 100 pound difference, but when you're planning to spend this much, you might as well just go for the real deal. I know Landen is more or less a reputable brand, but this filter was a place to compete with the like of es-150. Which I think it's unfair. It should've place to compete with F-Zone Astra stream mini filter or maybe UNS newest Blitz mini filter, then this will be much more valuable.
While I respect ADA, I’ll never pay the markup. But if you got that kinda bank, consider becoming a channel member. 🤣🤣

👍👍👍😎😎😎
❤️🤘❤️
If only there was a stainless steel spin pipe.
Wouldn’t be too hard to fab a ring to attach. I did that on the plastic Tru nano filter. Would be the same concept. 😁
Yeah, I saw that video. You are better at diy than I am.
@tedblack2163 , nah just source some SS pipe from the hardware store (plumbing dept) and drill a hole like that other vid. To secure you could use superglue with baking soda or a reef epoxy.
Theoretically, I’d probably tack weld it. But you’d have to be experienced in SS welding as it is a little harder I hear (never welded SS).
4:43 - Thicc!!
🤣
She heavy too.
🤣
Shhhhh you lost ur mind, go guy a $20 to $50 filter. Not this over price crab 😂
For a display tank I think it has its place if someone wants to show off their system. For a budget build, correct, not for budget setups.
the sicce canisters look nice enough for me
Haven’t tried them. Maybe later on this year I’ll try one to review.
The price is unreasonable just for a canister. Even the shape is very small.
These small SS nano canisters are the current popular thing to have for your nano tank. Popularity drives the price most of the time. But manufacturing costs are higher for SS over plastic I am sure. End of the day, it’s like buying a Rolex or a digital Casio; both tell time, but which one do you want to show your friends? 🤣
@ssaquascapes I prefer DIY. Besides being cheaper, its usefulness is also the same, even better because of the larger space for benefical bacteria.
Ahhh so you’re a sundial guy! 🤣
I kid I kid. The great thing about this hobby is how many ways we can accomplish the same goal: a beautiful planted tank! 🤘🤘
