What is the capacity of this filter? I have a 100 gallon tank and four Pacu. I feed them vegetables and they are very hard on my filters.

Spend your money on a better quality filter. I bought 2 of these and they were both Chinese junk. The modeling was so poor on the motor housing that they leaked everywhere. The company did refund my money and told me to keep the filters....I was able to epoxy the inside of one and use it, the other was a total loss. To answer your question: if you get a working filter it should be fine for a 100 gallon

I think it is a great filter. I have a 75 gal with puffers and a dragon fish which eat bloodworms, shrimp and various food. It clears the water quickly. I got another simple external filter which doesn't compare. I think you'll be happy with it.

The information states for up to a 10 gallon tank. As for sponge filter or double sponge, I can offer no info.

You don't put it into the tank directly- It goes into the filter. So the amount depends on the size of your filter.

First off, if you have an aquatic turtle he needs more water than that. If it is a tortoise enclosure, this filter will do just fine. It is not meant for heavy duty aquarium filtration. If you have 10+ gallons I would not recommend.

I sat mine inside of a ten gallon tank when I was moving, it fits but takes up almost half of the tank. It will be fine if you have something less than 4-5 inches in there. Just keep in mind the water level has to be a certain level for the filter to function properly.

Which filter do you have? That will help me help you on the size. As for replacing, you really shouldn't have to unless they tear or perhaps your tank gets really sick so you may want to change if to rid remnants of illness. I changed mine due to a rip and really, really yucky water so we could start with a fresh filter situation.

There are 3 sizes for filters for different size filter systems. I bought the large, it fits my Aqueon Quiet flow 50. I had a smaller tank and with that a smaller filter system and that system took the medium cartridges. You can search on your filter system for it's size or model number then search online for the right size filter. Good Luck

that all depends on what filter you have, for me i have a turtle and a 60gallon tank, so i use about 100grams on a fluval405 , and it lasts about two months with clear odorless water. your situation might be different , i think this should be more than enough if only for regular fish.

Yes this is a great filter I use it in a 5 gallon tank that has a saltwater frog fish that is the size of a apple and he eats live feeder fish and the water stays clear I have had this filter for about a year and it is very quite. I would buy this filter again good luck

I have this in a 5 gal and it has worked wonderfully for my Betta. I added a good filter and cycled it first.Curious as to what you would put in a 1 gal, the smaller the tank the harder it it to maintain and it requires almost daily water changes when this small

I am using this in my quarantine tank for African Dwarf Frogs! I just bought a 2.5 gallon and this filter to start a short cycle for them while they get medicated before I add them to a 10g!

Personally, I don't think this filter is to big for your tank. It will filter 185 gallons per hour as per the literature. You can always go with something smaller, if its more economical. I have the 1200 model which is being run on my 110 gallons tank. Your filter and mine only have one tube which is sucking the dirt from the tank, and one tube that puts back clean water. From my experience, I could probably run 3 of the 1200 filters on my tank with no ill effects. I don't see any problem with your selection. Hope this helps you.

It is rated for up to 160 gallon, but in actual use I would say probably a 90 gallon. It has a flow rating of 330 gallons per hour but that is with no media so in actual use the flow would be less. It really depends on how many fish and type of fish you are going to keep. I have this filter on a 90 gallon and keep African Cichlids. Normal wisdon says you need to cycle the tank 8 to 10 times per hour. So I run this filter and a 460 Fluval.You will have to decide how many times per hour you want to cycle your tank and how many inches of adult fish you will eventually have?

I bought this for my 10 gallon tank. I don't quite understand ur question but I have a standard 10 gallon tank and I have a penguin filter on it and it fits perfectly.

This filter can handle up to 2500 gallons under a normal fish load. It comes with a 180 manufacturer's warranty.

It depends on the bio load in the tank and the frequency of water changes. I use mine on a 75 gallon freshwater tank with 16 Cichlids. I do 20 gallon water changes every week and this filter is much more than I need. Cichlids tend to be dirty requiring weekly water changes.
