Aquaclear 70 filter for $19.99

For any of you having a doubt about this, don't delay. I received mine yesterday and these are the real deal. Like another poster mentioned it does not bring the biological media, but that's cheap enough to buy seperately. I just checked and they still have them in stock.

Maybe it's because I live in Cali >.<

Well I ordered two of these thinking I could use them on a 75 and 30 gallon tank I have. The 30 gallon setup works fine. However the AC 70 won't fit over the lip of the frame on my new 75 gallon tank. I had planned to use a new Rena XP3 and this AC 70 on this tank. Now re-thinking my decision. I really hate to modify the tank frame to make this fit. Just an FYI for any of you planning on using this on the medium to large tanks.

Is your 75 gallon a custom tank ? What kind of frame are you talking about ? Can you post a pic of your 75 gallon tank ? Thanks in advance.

an AC70 will not fit on most standard 75gal glass tank. The top Plastic trim has a wider lip than the 55gal. For some tank manufactuer (such as Oceanic) they use this wider frame on their smaller tank such as the 38 gallon.

Here is a sample picture:

Thanks vlam. I have different size tanks ... So I will use it for the smaller 40G tanks then. I assume the AC100 will fit in bigger tanks ?

The AC110 is a beast! It will fit in almost any tank. I use it in my 180gal acrylic and there is probably over 1" between the side and the opending of the tank.

Like I stated earlier, it depends on the manufacturer. I have a rare 38 gal from oceanic (24x18x18) and the top frame is the same width as my 75gal.

Yes that is the tank I have. I have a AC 110 and canister running on an existing 75 gallon so I know a 110 fits fine. Both tanks are identical and made by Aqueon which also makes Oceanic tanks. I just did not realize that the 70 model had a smaller mount. It only needs about an 1/8 inch more to fit.

ordered 3 last night, they were shipped today..awesome deal.

[ILuvTropicalFish]

WOW! Thank-you for the headsup. I ordered one today! I was just thinking about how old mine is. This will be nice.

[diamond_discus]

I ordered two on 3/1, and the scheduled delivery date is 3/8 ... I wish they have similar deal for the AC110 ..

My emperor filters are so noisy ... I hope these AC70 are more quiet ?

[Dan]

there is a slight hum..but they are otherwise quite. i've also noticed it's much more silent without a lid.

The AC70 is very quiet, you will be happy.
