Awesome for the price!!
First of all, you can't beat the price of a filter of this size and capacity. It runs super quiet and really easy to set up. To get it primed and running is as simple as filling up both hoses with tank water in the convenient openings on top of them and then plugging in the filter. Working the settings on LCD display is pretty self explanatory and simple as well. All this being said, I really wish mine would have came with additional sponges for each stage of filtration and some media, but I really can't complain, specially for the price I paid. The UV light is a nice feature because of the fact that it gives me an option to turn it off or to have it on for a specific amount of hours. I leave it off for the most part due to the fact that the UV light can deteriorate the plastic trays and or any plastic that is exposed to the light. Like I said, it's nice to have the option to use it or not. I would buy one of these for each of my big tanks anywhere from 50 to 150 gallons. Another great feature is the the actual motor of the filter is adjustable, which means you can control how hard the water flows by controlling how much power the motor puts out. It's all on the LCD screen menu.Read full review...

Expected more.
I have multiple Sunsun filters so when I saw this. I had to get it. Setting this filter up I removed all but one of the filter pads and added bio media from one of my other filters . Had all set up according to the directions and put it on my 125, turned it on, made sure all the air was removed, turned up to full power, and there's no "umph" in the flow. I ended up taking it off the 125 and putting it on my 90gal I just rearranged. Still, poor flow. I'm going to let it run, clean it, replace the pad, and see if anything improves.
Had to remove the clamps that secure the suction and output to the tank. It appears they were made for tanks with no plastic rim around it.
So, design and concept are good. Flow and power, not all that great. Will wait and see.Read full review...

Great filter great price
I put this on my 60 gallon Goldfish/Koi tank and it works great, I've got 6 good sized fish in this tank and this filter has made the water quality easily manageable. It's quite and the flow rate is adjustable and the built in UV light is an awesome bonus in case I ever have an algae bloom. It keeps the water crystal clear for my very messy fish.Read full review...

Excellent filter.
I have an aquarium with Kois and goldfish. As anyone knows that these fish are very dirty fish...waste, ammonia, and other by products. I had two canister filters and an HOB filter and still had to change the filter about ever two weeks and 1/3 amount of water every week for a 75-gallon aquarium.
Since adding the SunSun HW-3000 I have had it hooked up and running for about three or four weeks now and have yet to change the filter and the water tests show perfect water and have no more cloudy water.
Therefore, if you have fish that are considered dirty I would recommend this filter. Even if you don't have dirty fish, I would still recommend.
I am currently looking for sales to purchase at least 4 more.Read full review...

Great product
I love this one the best because it has adjustability in the flow rate & the UV light, I use it on my 55 gal, 208 Liter SeaHorse tank on the lowest setting, & for a deep clean I can turn it all the way upRead full review...

Great buy
After reading the reviews I was sceptical. But I purchased Amway and its an amazingly good deal if you have any brains in your head . You figure out right away the hose connector can plug in backwards and that will give you the reverse flow problem that I have seen many others complain about! Tank is crystal clear!Read full review...

HW3000
I replaced a marineland 350magnum filter with the Sunsun HW3000, THE 350 magnum isnt a bad filter, but this HW3000 is like night and day, my 75 gallon tank was cloudy to the point you couldnt see 4" past the front, been running the 350 for 2weeks hoping it would clear up..... Well in 2days my water is crystal clear with the 3000 filter.... It seem well made to me, ( the led is a little hard to see, and read) and i wish there was a on/off switch on it, but other than that im very impressed with it, and would highly recommend it to anyone!!!Read full review...

Great unit
Overall a great product. Just a fair warning is this, the hangers for the tubes are made for a rimless tank. I had to modify it to fit my rimmed tank.
The controls are easy to understand and setup. Read full review...

extremely versatile
Setup is quick and simple. The ability to change the flow rate makes this filter extremely versatile. I have this set up on a 40 gallon with breading angelfish and they are very content. Able to set the UV light to run a set amount of hours per day makes this a set and forget system. Only downside of the UV timer - in the event of power loss after the UV timer runs it's cycle when power returns UV timer will run a new cycle at time of power return. Read full review...
