Canister filter Comparison Oase Bio Master350 vs Marineland Magnaflow 360 

I just set up an acrylic Clear for Life 45S. It’s a 48 x 13 x 17 tank. With such a narrow foot print I decided to go with an Oase Biomaster Thermo 350 to minimize the equipment inside the tank. I loaded it with Seachem Matrix……..

Great video thanks for sharing I'm gonna get one of those marinland. ,and new sub here 👍💯

I have the Oase thermo biomaster 600 on a 360l tank. The prefilter and built in heater were what sold it to me. I've been running it nearly 6 months now, and clean the prefilter every 2-3 weeks with the blue 45ppi sponges. My bioload is 27 small tetras, 10 corydoras, 2 angels and 1 bristlenose. Have 2 trays of the blue sponge in the bottom of main filter, 2 trays of biohome and the rest the supplied foam. All readings good with 33% water change every 10 days. Very impressed with filter and will clean out main filter in next month or so to see where we are at. Flow still good so not expecting an issues. Thanks for the comparison.

I have a 10 year old marineland c360. I see they made an improvement on the new marineland on how the powerhead attaches. Do you have issues with the marineland sucking air and blowing micro bubbles or leaking? It seems like the new model won't have that issue.

I decided to go with the marineland because my dad has a few marineland canister filters that have each lasted 10 years, with only needing to change the big gasket for the top piece on one of them.

I bought the Marineland C360 years ago and had leak issues. They even sent me a new filter and it leaked after using it for a few months. I suppose the Magniflow is a rebranded C series! So no leak issues?

Do you ever notice the OASE purges air and make a noise from the impeller?

What do your nitrates run using the 6 trays of matrix ?

The water is first sucked up thru the trays, according to the animation in Oase's website. Thus, the pre-filter should be coarse(blue) and then the filter media should be coarse(blue), medium(orange) and then black(fine). Unfortunately, the marketing guys with Oase got the order of sponge media wrong in their video too and don't even sell black sponges for the trays, so we've got to cut them ourselves. I'm stunned no one else seems to have caught this oversight that seems obvious to me.

Does the oase filter work for salt water?

Oase rules

Man, that marinland is 100% a Tetra 1200....and I was thinking only chinese copy other companies...😱😱

Seachem matrix is not as good as you think each parts different its pumice rocks better with biohome
