AQUA-TECH PL-T132-03 First Impressions
Overall fairly easy.
Stop buying those expensive filters, buy this and make your own. It made no sense why one was ten and the other was twenty. I rinsed and reuse same pad again 3 times and trashed later. I have found you really have to scrub the outside to get everything cleaned out. For my smaller fish tank I find that it is just enough. The concentration of flow will mean faster clogging, lower flow and motor strain. But by two weeks, the output did drop.

AQUA-TECH PL-T132-03 Final Thoughts
Quiet and reliable.
Stop buying those expensive filters, buy this and make your own. If you have several aquariums, use separate UPS backups. It was easy to assemble and very effective! It's a pain in the butt to put together the directions don’t do it that well. I don't advise using a UG filter as the only filtration source in large tanks. I have used UG filters for many years. Don't believe people who tell you they are dangerous for your tank.
