A great little filter, attached to my 15 litre (20L total volume) mini-tank. NB. I don't use bagged carbon in my canister filters, so have replaced that media with some quality filter pads instead.
Provides great filtration and surprisingly powerful flow for its size. If not for the movement of the plants, I would not know the filter was powered - absolutely silent.
Priming was mostly painless, although fiddly, but the quality of the outflow elbow pieces which go over the tank rim isn't great, are quite brittle and leaked on mine. Someone with a more delicate touch might not experience this fairly minor problem. I found it best to connect the hose directly to the vertical in-pipe to eliminate the risk of leaking.
I'd definitely buy one again without hesitation!

Fine product.
Fine product.
I had to use silicone on the tubes because there was dripping. Besides that its a very good product.
I use it in my shrimp aquarium. 17 liters.
