Thank you for all the great information new to the channel. I’ve learned so much been in the hobby for over 2 years and learning so much from you. Can only imagine having a sit down or a weekend with bunch of fish hobbyists learning from each other.
Hey Ben, was interrested in a filter like this but after research i was a bit less hyped after i saw the 25 watts power consumption. i then found the Aquael Turbo Filter, the 500 version only uses 4.4 watts. similar system to xpertmatic, inexpensive as well. they have different sizes and you can get additional chambers as well. i ordered one, reviews on amazon looking good. Have a great day! greetings from germany
i guess xpertmatic is some kind of a channel sponsor ;) and i am not sure if aquael is available in the U.S. but this could be a good, low power, low noise filter.
The many things that are killing me about your move are 1. You are all about EDUCATION with a bit of entertainment. 2. Your tanks are established and you show why. 3. You are the filter MASTER. Best videos EVER!!! F Richard with the ULTIMATE
Excellent video 👍👍👍 I do my own diy filter like those with a water bottle and powerhead but these look so much better, very solid design and boy does it polish the water! Have a great day my friend 😃
One day Ben, your moderator will post first! I have faith it will happen one day, lol....J/K. Great video Ben. Your one of the very few aquarists that's actually taking the time to show people how these filters work properly. Keep up the great work!
Blmey,when you said it will tell you it needs cleaning I thought you meant it shouts out Hey Ben, im really dirty pal.Get your act together and clean me. Love the channel Ben,good health mate.
Hi Ben, I notice it's inside your 150g tank when I picked up your fishes yesterday. But I forgot to ask you about it. Can't expect you have this video to share with us right away. Thanks a lot & safe travels!!
Great video and interesting filter. I love the design, seems like it should be able to lower the maintenance on canisters and other filters in the tank.
Thank you, can’t wait to get mine hooked up. Love things that are easy to clean. Question...that carbon cartridge, can you open it up and refill or is it a once and done?
My keeps making a humming or buzzing noise intermittently. I’ve just installed it without the hose Seems to be running well. But buzzing noise is irritating. Any idea how do solve
I have a 75 gallon and dealing a bacterial bloom any thoughts it’s been going on for about two weeks I run a 407 and a sponge in the tank what should I do help and my tank isn’t over stock
It will pass on its own eventually. If it really bugs you throw some Seachem Purigen (a bag) in your filter. I have it in my Amazon store: www.amazon.com/shop/benochart
hi great video do it make an different rinsing my sponge canister filter intake under tap water to faucet it's a small sponge on my Samsung 404b canister intake
If you’re talking about an external sponge only covering the intake tube and not the filters in the canister, then yes, you can rinse it in tap water if you really needed to. It’ll kill whatever beneficial bacteria is growing on it, but depending upon tank size, that small amount of bacteria may not be making much difference in your cycle.
This filter is not as effective as it could be… you can see that the bottom section is completely being bypassed, it was probably clean, while the top 2 have all the waste. The side vents of the media sections shouldn’t be there. You might as well just keep the top 2 sections.

That would be fun 😀👍🏻
I have 2 Xpermatic filters and I really like them.
Awesome video ... thinking of grabbing this filter .. just purchased my first cichlids so hopefully I am able to tune in Saturday!!
Thank you. Hope to see you at a Cichlids & Coffee Live Stream
Great powerhead product. The Odyessa 250 is similar
I'm looking for some extra filtering on my 520itre aquarium this sounds the perfect partner for an fx6

Let me know what you think of it. What's the estimated GPH (or LPH?) and compare that to the wattage needed.

Very nice of you to say that Richard. I’ll be back soon and will attempt to keep the content coming 😀👍🏻

LOL, in a way it does, “Hey, I’m clogged, help me out!” 🤣🤣🤣

Very nice
i love this easy filter setup,i have it in my outdoor pond
Hi nice filter but wanted to know what the little black clip is for.? It resembles 2 back to back horse shoes. Lmk thanks for the great video.
That clip attached the Venturi airline tubing to the powercord to keep the airline up and out of the water.
Great video and interesting filter. I love the design, seems like it should be able to lower the maintenance on canisters and other filters in the tank.
Thank you, can’t wait to get mine hooked up. Love things that are easy to clean. Question...that carbon cartridge, can you open it up and refill or is it a once and done?
I was wondering the same thing. The Amazon page shows that the carbon cartridge lid can be removed using tweezers.
Took mine out of the box. Used small needlnose pliers and pulled cap off. So I guess that’s a for sure.
Yes with needle nose pliers or tweezers the little cap comes off
Boy, you are up early!! To get this out at this time.
I have a simular filter. It is made in China, it is easy to maintaian.
Nice
would you recommend for my 4 fit /1.5 fit Oskar aquriam??
Were do you get that set up
Hi, how quiet is it thanks
Ben do you mail to Australia?
My keeps making a humming or buzzing noise intermittently. I’ve just installed it without the hose Seems to be running well. But buzzing noise is irritating. Any idea how do solve
One of mine started doing that. I took it apart, gave it a good cleaning and it stopped.
I have a 75 gallon and dealing a bacterial bloom any thoughts it’s been going on for about two weeks I run a 407 and a sponge in the tank what should I do help and my tank isn’t over stock

Did your nitrogen cycle did a mini cycle once you clean the sponges?
Never experienced that. The tank, if you don’t disrupt too much, should hold.
Do you use charcoal?
Hey Ben would you recommend using this as my primary filter for my 29G fry tank?
I think it would do a great job on a 29
hi great video do it make an different rinsing my sponge canister filter intake under tap water to faucet it's a small sponge on my Samsung 404b canister intake
Never use plain water, dechlorinate it first, or use tank water. You want your beneficial bacteria to colonize in the canisters.
okay thanks I'll see you on Saturday cichlids and coffee
If you’re talking about an external sponge only covering the intake tube and not the filters in the canister, then yes, you can rinse it in tap water if you really needed to. It’ll kill whatever beneficial bacteria is growing on it, but depending upon tank size, that small amount of bacteria may not be making much difference in your cycle.
