Penn-Plax CCF129 First Impressions

+Great price.

Unlike my old HOB filter, it doesn't sound like a leaky toilet. I want to answer some of the complaints I've read. I eyedball everything and put it together with a look back at instructions. If that does not work, look into silicone grease so you can lube the impeller. Overall, I like the 350's slim back design, and be able to add up to 4 cartridges. I've looked at so many filters and reviews. They are easily found from mom-n-pop pet stores to large chain stores.

Penn-Plax CCF129 Final Thoughts

Will UPDATE!

My old pump was not working very well so I had to make a major clean up. LOW and BEHOLD, LMAO, I missed where you had to put water in the back of the filter. I used a small pair of pliers and carefully got the pebbles out. Overall, I like the 350's slim back design, and be able to add up to 4 cartridges. Basically, make sure everything that is suppose to spin, does so smoothly. They can be very noisy at the impeller, which sometimes quiets in time, but may not. You CAN rinse the old ones in an emergency.

Overall Score
4.9
