Great canister filter - if you know what you are doing
By Charles Meyer
I traded up to the C-360 after using the 350 Magnum for 7 years.The C-360 is a great canister filter, if you pay attention to directions and use some common sense.Keep in mind that this is a professional series filter - its not for the average hobbyist who will pull it out of the box, hook it up (without understanding instruction), and watch the pretty fish swim by.Here is what I found -1). The filter weighs 23lbs empty - it holds 2.5 gallons of water at 8.5lbs per gallon. When full of media and water, this filter weighs 45lbs. Not something you want to move around a lot.2). Since I considered myself a semi-pro fish keeper I hooked the filter up without reading or understanding the instructions - A Big Mistake. Micro-bubbles and leaking like you wouldn't believe.3). Take the time to inventory what is in the box and understand the components.4). Per the instructions, keep the hoses to a minimum length. A straight shot from the canister to tank is best. (I found this vital to eliminating micro-bubbles).5). When hooking the hoses to the canister mechanism, DO NOT hand tight only. You will need to use a wrench to completely tighten. Caution - do not over tighten or plastic will crack. (this step is vital to eliminating micro-bubbles)6). Make sure the canister is full of water prior to priming. Instruction say 2 pushes of the prime button - ignore this and plan on 10-15 pushes with some wait time in between.7). Placement of the media baskets in the canister is CRITICAL. Make sure the top cylinder of each tray has the rubber gasket on (these fall off easily).8). Place the bottom basket in the canister, next one on top. Critical that you stick your finger down the hole to make sure the 2nd tray is seated on the 1st. Repeat for all trays. Make sure they snap together.9). Make sure to keep the rubber ring (gasket) on the top lid lubricated. I used small amounts of vaseline - it works great.10). On 1st set up you can expect micro-bubble for the first few hours. You can wait it out, or slightly tip the canister to a side to remove faster. If bubbles prolong - check that your hoses are tightly connected. No hand tightening. Check that you have the shortest possible hose run and that it is not obstructed.11). I would highly recommend this filter to anyone who want to pay attention to detail, and set it up correctly. Leaking and Micro-bubbles are for those who don't understand how the filter works.

By Vaughn
I am not sure why other's have reviewed this filter with "micro-bubbles". I have been using my C360 for a 60-Gallon tank and have been nothing but delighted. It does take some patience setting each tray appropriately on each of the previous tray placements, but the unit is difficult to snap the top on if all trays aren't set propery. To me, this is a self evident tip, I haven't done something right... Not a problem with the unit itself. Other than a few drops of water when I remove the tubing head, there is no mess at all around the aquarium. Very easy to use, very efficient, and very quiet...A great filter... I am buying two more for my soon to be aquired 125 Gallon...

By Jim
I am a noobie when it comes to Aquariums...however, the new home I purchased had an outdoor Koi pond, which was not deep enough to keep them out during the winter (in the Northeast). I went and purchased a 125 Gallon tank and the C-360...it is very easy to use, and when you need to clean it, just turn a knob, pull out the hoses and take the filter away without spilling but maybe a drop of water...clean it, flush it and connect it and you are back and running...VERY easy...my water looks clear and clean with 12 Koi! :)
