azoo palm filter

[jacblades]

i just got the azoo palm filter and tis wonderful! for $6, i thought the flow would be too slow asnd it would just be crappy ingeneral...but its not! its an amazing filter! (its on my 5gal with bb gobies and baby flounders). i actually think it would be too strong for a betta though unless it was in a 10 gal maybe?
ive heard good things about the filter so i have alwyas recommended it as a small filter for bettas but now...im not so sure...i had to raise the water level on my tank to about 3/4 an inch below the fall to make it less turbulent. it takes up less space than my little whisper that came with the system and i like how the intake (andthe whole filter) is clear. (my gobies used to hang on the sides of the whisper where i couldnt see them sometimes)
i bought replacement filter pads but i think it was a waste because theyre just regular foam and poly fiber. anyways-you could probably wash them off many times before discarding them. i thought the cartridges would have carbon but they are just little foam pads. so-no chemical filtration. i might try a little mesh bag of carbon in there though.

i just wanted to share about my new filter and how great it is...but not for bettas

i think mine is great for bettas,mine has a control nozel so i put it on really slow and its perfect for him.

where is the nozzle? i could find any way to regulate the flow.

I really wish they had those in stores here. I'm going to have to order some online soon.

 

[jacblades]

i dont see why they dont. i would think many people would buy them for their smaller aquariums.
but then again-i have never seen anything azoo brand in a store...maybe they dont sell to pet stores.

I think the azoo is awesome for bettas, I lower the flow and it is great....

 

[Dane]

K, thanks

I'll look into it.

 

[jacblades]

how do you lower the flow? the knob on the top (that adjusts the flow for most filters) doesnt turn on mine
i did notice on the box though that there were 2 different pictures-one of a clear filter (the one i have) and one of a black one.

 

[jacblades]

ok i feel stupid. the knob on mine that i thought didnt turn, actually does-it was just stuck on something. so i take back saying that it cant be used for bettas. it can-just on the lowest flow level. mine was set on the highest. )
