Oase FiltoSmart 60 Canister Filter for Aquariums – Quiet, Compact External Filter with Multi-Stage Filtration, No-Mess Maintenance, For Small Freshwater & Saltwater Tanks Up to 20 Gallons

Some people mentioned that the water flow is too weak, but I don’t think that’s a fair criticism. This filter isn’t meant to vacuum debris like a power filter—its main purpose is to create gentle circulation that supports a healthy ecosystem. For that, I think the flow is just right. It’s also pleasantly quiet during normal operation. One tip: make sure to prime the filter by pouring some water directly into the pump before turning it on. (Which isn’t advised in the instructions) The pump isn’t strong enough to lift the initial water on its own, so if it’s not primed, it may just spin with air inside, causing unnecessary noise.

Works like a champ for my 5 gallon desktop. Super quiet, easy to set up, easy to clean. Highly recommendt.

It's pretty mediocre. The description of the listing wasn't very detailed but I had assumed it was for 60l based up on its name. It has incredibly low flow, and did not come with instructions. Instructions would have been great but hey, I paid for the cheap filter. Oh also it only comes with like 3-4 feet of tubing. And oase doesn't sell any tubing that I've found. Took me so long to get the thing running that I damaged it in the process (again, no instructions) and can't return it. Just buy the fluval one. Just buy the fluval one, just. Buy. The fluval one. Edit: a few months in and I threw it in the trash. Flow rate was abysmal and a cheap aqueon hang on back is somehow better. I'm not even asking for a refund for Amazon, I threw this piece of crap in the trash. Don't waste your money. In fact, just get a damned water bottle with an air pump in it before you buy this garbage.

I had to replace the gasket in the priming plug to get it to seal properly. There is also a piece of tubing that runs into the void at the top of the filter that is SUPPOSED to remove the air from the unit while it works, but it never quite gets it done. I removed it and everything has been working fine for several weeks now and is completely silent.

The canister is smaller than you're probably expecting. Pumping/suction power is much lower than I would like. I initially set the canister up hoping it would be able to pump/suck from a lower shelf under my shallow 5 gallon tank. It was not strong enough to even start moving water even after priming the tubing before turning it on. The canister is small enough to be placed behind my tank out of site, and once it was basically level to the tank it was able to move enough water to warrent continued use instead of returning it. I don't think I would buy another of these units for future tanks. For another $25-$30 a more powerful canister can be found that would do exactly what I want even if it would be slightly bigger in size. The canister comes with a very short length of 10mm tubing which was a bit of mess trying to connect it to 13mm valves/Co2 injector/lily pipes that I already owned and hoped to use. I looked for the size of the tubing before purcahse but couldn't find any information. Luckly I had some connectors and attachments so that I could connect to my 13mm nano lilly pipes that I wanted to use, but I was not able to connect to my valves/Co2 injector. The weight of the tubes want to topple the canister over as well. I had to wedge it upright. It is not a silent filter and does make enough noise that you notice it. It's louder than my UNS Delta 30 even though it's half the size. I'm not sure how they pulled that off.

Perfect size and function for my UNS 30C. I added some lily pipes and have a beautiful filtration setup that hides out of the way and is properly sized for my mini cube. Setup was easy and the build seems decent.

Great filter! A little expensive but definitely worth it. Small enough to fit in my desktop. Easy to clean! Most people imagine a huge canister filter but this truly is a small filter for nano tanks!

Only con is the price, or I'd get the best one! Absolutely quiet. Just remember to take out that little L shaped tube inside. I didn't figure that out till a month later. If you don't, do enjoy the constant gushing of water and air in the canister.

Es de tamaño pequeño ideal para Nanos. No necesitas cebar. Es muy silencioso. Capacidad media para material filtrante. Se siente de buen material.

I'm using 2 of the 60 on an 11g long heavily planted tank with absolutely no issues. It's extremely quiet and easy to clean

Es usado y está mega caro! No he visto su funcionamiento pero se ve ya descuidado Deberían indicar que es de segunda mano, muy mal

Very silent, very easy to use.

Filter works great. Very easy to set up, and it's really quiet once all the air has made its way out of the filter on initial start up (took mine just over a minute). Powerful enough for a planted 10g, but you'll probably want something more powerful for a 20 or larger. Canister itself is tiny, and doesn't hold much media. Flow through design is quite basic.. I feel like you're paying mostly for the name here. The only reason I bought this is because I can no longer find the Finnex PX360 filter, which was just as powerful as this, with a larger canister and more robust build quality at less than 2/3 the price. If I had the choice, I might skip this filter and try something else. But it does what it says, it's quiet, and easy to set up. Great for the 10g at my desk in the office.
