I have 2 filters in a Rio 240 Aquarium jewel in operation. The filter performance is outstanding. The pump is accordingly very powerful and moved the water neatly. The flow direction can also be adjusted individually. What I do not like is the outflow pipe, which is difficult to be incorporated in the housing and sometimes mitvibriert heavily by the motor. Time of the filter due to vibration of the pump with the bad plastic parts to be joined, which are inserted into the housing only loosely is very loud and sometimes succeeds to ensure quiet operation by pressing in the inserted plastic parts. After prolonged use, the pump is a little quieter and you then knows from experience the place that lead to noise and according to corrected. (Here would be required by the manufacturer repairs). Still, I rate the internal filters also for its low power consumption as well and would buy it again and again because the filter media can be individually equipped and also has a large filter volume is remarkable for an internal filter. The cleaning of the filter media is easy, quick and easy to perform without all the components have to be taken out from the aquarium. Just take the filter media to the top of the filter, wash and clean again press Done.
