Hagen AquaClear 70 (formerly AquaClear 300) multi-stage filtration system provides optimal mechanical, chemical and biological filtration. CycleGuard now with BioMax preserves beneficial bacteria for a stress free environment. Invisible and harmless, beneficial bacteria are essential in the removal of toxic ammonia and nitrite. AquaClear's patented refiltration system allows you to control the flow rate without compromising filtration efficiency. When the flow rate is reduced, up to 50% of the water within the filter chamber is processed multiple times. More impurities are filtered out, creating a healthier tank with sparkling clean and clear water.
3-Stage Filtration Features:
- Stage 1: Mechanical Filtration
Foam filter pad provides a large surface area to trap particles and debris - Stage 2: Chemical Filtration
Carbon filter bag absorbs odors, discoloration and impurities - Stage 3: Biological Filtration
BioMax nodes provide optimal living conditions for beneficial bacteria
Other Features:
- For aquariums 30 to 70 US gallons

a little noisy
September 27, 2019
Had 2 of these over many years. They were always perfectly silent. I hear the water gurgling as it exits the container before it spills into the tank. Have tried different water heights and checking the propeller but to no avail. The sound gets annoying. But I can say it keeps the 10 gal tank perfectly at the lowest gph setting. The fish are happy.

AquaClear 110- LOVE this Filter!!!

Noise seems like a small detail UNTIL the aquarium is in the living room or bedroom- Aquaclear filters are virually SILENT.
We plugged in our first Aquaclear 110 fifteen years ago..... never had ONE problem. Ever. Still going strong...
We've tried every "better" filter over the years on different tanks...... ($200 canisters, etc) and there is nothing as powerful AND as easy to maintain as the Aquaclear filters...
We recently added a 150g Tall- with large gold fish- Large goldfish require double the filtration of regular tropicals. We have two AQ110s on the 150T. Crystal clear water. happy fish and MUCH less noise than everyone else's smaller tanks!

in a nutshell- super easy set-up, works really well. tank was cleaned and clear within hours.
Prosall of the above
Conskinda wish there was a way to switch from one side of the tank to the other. I can't make it fit on the other downpipe because of the design of the filter. but overall, excellent.

I like these HOB filters. No need for bio wheels or bio media in a reef tank and these are just great for putting whatever media you choose in them. Great flow and small footprint made it the perfect choice for my application.
ProsGreat flow, efficient and easy to clean.
