Title: Does not work properly after 4 weeks
Product review: The packaging was damaged, so I had to take the advice of others & use a different carbon bag right from the start.This filter worked well for about four weeks, but fails to move water effectively after that. I used the 501 in a 35-gallon long aquarium with less than 12 gallons in it. I clean the tank and pump thoroughly each week, so I know that the issue is not that it's clogged. I've got a trickle of water still, even after cleaning the sponge, filter, hoses and pump.My 2" (RES) baby turtle loved the waterfall while it lasted, but I will be buying a replacement just 2.5 months after initial purchase. I'm kicking myself for not keeping the packaging materials, because I would have definately sent it back- turtle gunk & all. There are many other filters with better reviews and results for less than the price of this one.I gave it one star because I didn't see an option for zero stars. It's a WASTE (of time & money), no pun intended!
