Pro Clear 175 Filter August 24, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought the Pro Clear 175 Premier model for use on my 120 gallon oscar tank. Setup was very easy and the kit came with everything needed minus the pump for the installation. What's not clear from the listing either here on on the Pro Clear website is how much stuff comes included with the filter. This model comes with two overflow prefilter boxes AND the return hose and nozzle. It's design is also somewhat different to what's shown in the picture here and on the Pro Clear Website. Now the water inlet fittings are on the side of the sump box and no longer enter from the top. They use a slotted "spraybar" that directs the waterflow evenly across the prefilter and drip tray, it works nice and all you have to do is pull out the tray for cleaning the filter and pump can keep right on running, slick.br /br /Setting the filter up and getting the water level fine tuned takes an hour or so but the directions are clear and easy to follow. br /br /This particular tank always had nice water quality when filtered with two Magnum 350 canisters but not those are free to use on two of my other tanks. What I found to be amazing was how much better the water looks with the trickle filter setup using the skimmer/overflow box. I was surprised to see how that thin top layer of water disappeared into the prefilter as soon as I started the pumps, now it looks great.br /br /This filter is quiet too and that's something I was concerned about when switching to the wet/dry setup. It makes a small trickling sound but there is no gurgling or flushing sounds what so ever and I'm quite pleased.br /br /Right now I'm using two Rio 1100 pumps that I had on hand in the future I might go to a single large pump but it seems to have nice water flow and circulation in the tank. br /br /The sump is quite large and there is enough room in there for any imaginable pump or bags of filter media.br /
