Filter Game Changer - this is *Much Easier and Way Better!*

Full watch here, great comparison video, over the years I have found hobs suck, no matter brand. They always. Need cleaning , impellers stop easy, look ugly on the tanks, have to prime if pumpout the the water , out of all the hobs I have uses or still using as a back up/new tank starter, the aqueon hobs quiet flows have been the best all around for less cost. Canister filters are way better than anything for multiple reasons, EVEN BETTER THAN TOUR BELOVED SUMPS BEN!! 😂

GreT info Ben😊

Will that fit on a 75 gallon? The Ac70 wont fit on a 75.

Ben you need a haircut

Great info, nice work. thank you. Oh I have two Tidal 110s.

Hi Ben, one out of left field for hobs, Sun Sun ..... especially nano tanks.

Nice. Didn't see any biological media?

The Aquatech hob’s I have on two tanks clog and pour over the intake section usually biweekly, I think it’s time to diy their set ups👍

I use 2 110 ...aquaclear. 180 bow tank. 55 has a 110 ...and 72 bow has 110. Electric Bill $600. We have two other couples living with us. We have solar panels. 😂😂😂😂

I make my own filter media no carbon

You are adorable in my book. Thank you. I love my discus💙🐟♥️🐟💛🐠💛🐠

I love the music in the background. Who is it. Jorma???

Excellent video

Ben,

Great review ty for telling us about the pluses and minuses or the HOB by Hygger. I use all Tidal Filters on my tanks. On my 55 gal plants I use a tidal 75 and 55. On my MBUNA tank I use two Tidal 110s. On my 20 long I use tidal 35. They are great filters I love the customization of them.

Speaking of filters Ben you really need to check out the Marineland 400 their new design is awesome even the trays sit together better you don't have to mess with them to get them to fit together also the head comes with the O-ring already installed

I wouldn’t use an aqua clear on anything horrible noisy antique’s

I like simple. Those plastic sealed things are crap, you've solved this one Ben! Nice T-shirt btw!

LOL Your welcome Hygger good job Ben

Thanks for the filter videos! I love talking/watching filtration haha

Ben, I would also add the original filters have built in obcelencence, you have to constantly purchase more because of their lack of ability to be maintained. Your alternative fix solves that problem.
Many people don't consider that with a bit of lateral thinking they can make the system better, and think oh that's the way it works so I have to keep buying replacements that add to the ongoing costs of the filter.
Somewhat like changing the media in your Canister Filters, what they come with may not be the best option in YOUR situation.

Ben,…your message basically applies to all hob filter brands…..even higher end brands (Fluval, Oase, Eheim, etc). However I don’t think your request of Hygger/any others will happen as it takes away a revenue stream that provides repetitive for high-profit yields. 🤷‍♂️🇨🇦

I think buying sponge for my hang on back. it seems a good way to save money. the filter cartridge that go with tetras hob are hard to clean all the way. a sponge I can squeeze it to clean it.

I'm still an AquaClear fan. Have been forever and a Sunday. <•))))~{

As always, an informative educational video thanks for all you do for our hobby

The thing that I NEVER liked about those is that the cartridges block 50% of the water flow with solid plastic and slots.

Very good solution and much better for the environment and much cheaper! Good tip.

Is the blue 10 ppi? My new fav is penguin pro series, replacing 350B

Wondering what thickness of Swiss Tropicals sponge he used and what the PPI was?

All those filter cartridges are a gimmick any way. Adding your own like you did is the way to go.👍
