I cant find the tube with the black head
How open should my nozzle thing be on the filter thing
Thanks for the video!! Bought the tank today and was so confused by the instruction
lol love the little model castle ,,lol
My wife is worried it’s to powerful. Is there any way of turning it down or is it fine as it is?
The little snorkel thing didn’t come with my tank? It’s just the filter
Still way too strong for my fish. Gonna have to try putting sponge over it. Angry pets at home would sell a set where the filter pump is clearly too strong for the tank
So happy I found this video, literally saved my fishes
This filter is crap absolute rubbish…had it a month and past two weeks it seems to b working but no bubbles at all coming out!! Buy a new filter when you buy this set up!!!!
Do you keep the black nossel open or closed?
So glad you put a video up, It took me ages to try and work out the Instructions. Managed to do it after i watched this.
You saved my fishes life
Thank you so much! You have saved my fish’s life!
Been in the hobby for 8 years.
And it's the worst i've ever used.
Probably defective because it sounded like a drill, tried to fix for 2 hours.
Luckily Pets at home refunded 50%.
Thanks mate your a champion
Can I use this without the snorkel tube? To make it quieter?
Just bought my tank yesterday and it was cloudy but now I see that you put the tube above the water will it clear and make the water look cleaner
Great vid, very helpful thanks
my pump doesn't seem to be that powerful. intermittent. If i fully submerge it it doesn't work.
Can the filter flow be too strong? I have a 10 litre tank and the filter pump seems to strong as the fish (variable platyfish) seem to struggle against the current it generates. I'll find out the lph on the pump.
Life saver of a video; instructions that came with the filter were nonsense.
this really helped
Do you have to keep it on all the time
Than a man , been scratching my head with my daughters filter!!
poor mans tank
I had the pirate pets at home set up and that pump is really only good for a couple of fish, any more and you'll be cleaning the pump filter every day
I’m so glad I found your video! I was doing it wrong and the instructions as you said are not that clear. Thanks for your upload !
Bought a 24l today for £20. Hopefully I'll be using it for my corydora fry. If not, 2 pretty lil guppies are on the list!
I got one of these second hand, it is filled with sponge only, is that enough or does it need something else ( that gravel type stuff), and if yes can I just put it in together with the sponge?
Is this too strong for a 1.5 to 2 gallon tank?
Electricity and Water: A Dangerous Combination.
You need to push the filter doun
Do u leave the top hole on the snorkle open all the time
Good vid

This is the exact tank and filter I have, all working fine so far (touch wood) wondering if anyone knows where I can get replacement filter foam/pads from? It's marked as a Q112 Aquarium Pump but a search on that isn't bringing up much.
are those tanks glass or plastic?
I got the 24l one a while ago, it works really well although the black nozzle is coming coming out vertically on mine. It is a little bit load but am okay with that 🙂
mine doesn't seem to be working proply.
it's blowing water out of the top black but too even with it up right?
Can you please show how to put on the snorkel. I have the starter tank but the snorkel is difficult to fit. I think I am putting it on the wrong bit as it then lays horizontal but your video shows snorkel is vertical. So should I be fitting the snorkel tube so it's upright with the black bit on the top? Can you please show how it is done as the instructions are completely useless.
Thank you.
On what you said david boston if its not blowing air or bubbles phone pets at home and tell them what its not doing right mine done the same they will replace it for you free of charge
Thanks a lot mate!
I recently got the 24L one from Pets at Home and my pump/filter is not doing this at all! It doesn't flow out any bubbles and is noisy. Is the black part of the unit completely submerged?
