Victop Submersible Aquarium Internal Filter Fish Tank Filter with 8W UV Steriliser, 650 L/H Water Pump 5-in-1 Aquarium Filter Fit for 150-300L Fish Tank

I’m a new aquarium owner and set mine up in Jan 2024. Added 5 guppy’s and everything was fine, then added 5 platys a week later and that’s when I acquired my bacteria bloom. So since the beginning of Feb I’ve had a consistent bloom of varying degrees of murkiness. After researching I tried several things including Interpret Quick Clear, which just resulted in coating everything a lovely shade of brown!! So I visited my local Pets at Home on 24.04.24 and we assumed I was putting too much good bacteria into my tank. So on 02.05.24 I did a 25% partial water change and within hours it was the worst it’s ever been. I’d been toying with buying a UV light weeks ago, so decided to take the plunge and WOW! I can’t recommend this enough. Within 2 days I’ve gone from thick milky water to almost clear. I’m using it in conjunction with my Moray filter, but will eventually just use this one. It’s very quiet and so easy to put together and dismantle. I’m a very happy customer, who can now see all her fish. Thank you. 👍👍

Good product keeps my fish tank clear.

Does the job in my 115 litre tankWell worth the money

Been using now for four weeks in my tropical tank and what a difference it's made

I've had the pump for just over a month now and it routinely stops working. I unplug it, take it apart, put it back together and it works again. It is worth the money because of the results but the constant breaking down Is very annoying. Works well when it is working, very quiet and discreet little pump.

Not very powerful at all compared to filters I have used before luckily runs in conjunction with an external cannister filter has stopped working in its first week dismantled put back together and works again (had I kept the box would be returning for a refund)Not sure the UV tube is sterilising the water as after a week still have algae bloom. Have now removed the foam media that is too course to really polish the water in a hope that this will allow the UV tube a better chance of clarifying the water

This filter is of German design, and the quality shows. Well packed, no kinks in the air tubing as I have found in previous purchases, not of this manufacturers items. Easy to assemble, instructions in various languages, and supplied with a UK plug attached. Quiet in operation and supplied with sprinkler/rainwater bar. A point to be aware of is that most manufacturers claim that a UV light will kill algae, in fact they only kill algae blooms, i.e. floating algae which discolours the water. They do not kill the algae sticking to the glass or rock work. The spores have to pass through the the filter and the UV light. This usually gets rid of it within a couple of days depending how bad it is. Certainly worth the money and better than more expensive ones on this site.

While this is a good filter i have found that o have repeatedly had problems with the twist mechanism jamming up when it comes to maintenance. Ive had to replace it twice now and will be looking at alternatives now for another jam up !
