Marineland Canister Filter Maintenance and Review (Was it worth it?) 

I have the exact same filter and I loved it too. I’m thinking about getting back my African Cichlid tank and breeding them.

Hey JJ, i've been using the marineland 360's for probably 15 years, the red turn valve disconnect switch stops water from flowing so you can leave your hoses in your tank. If you put a sponge filter on your intake pipe, (see aquarium coop vid's) it will help keep alot of debris out of the filter and then you only need to clean the sponge filter and less often clean the whole canister filter, save time, worked great for me.

Thanks for the video. It was detailed with no bs. Keep up the good work. Tank looks great.

You don't have to pull your plumbing out of the tank. You can leave that all in place and use the quick disconnect housing on the lid. This keeps the siphon in place too if both intake and output stay under the water line, it helps start up be less problematic to reestablish the siphon, little to no priming then. The lever on the input/output housing in the lid closes ball valves so it can just hang there while you do your maintenance.

Nice little update bro! Can not believe you didnt rinse the dust out of your new carbon tho! Tank on!

The filter floss goes under the final lid…… otherwise small parts can break down and get into the impeller

So far so good with the marineland magniflow 220! You can get yours here: amzn.to/40dzHsv Find JJ Gills on Facebook: facebook.com/JJGillsAquatics JJ Gills Aquatics Store: www.jjgills.shop

Jeeze!! How long has it been since you’ve cleaned?

Bro my filters brand new and for some reason it stops pumping water while still plugged in and it sucks. Priming it and starting to again works but it stops again later. HOW DO I FIX THIS

I’m thinking of getting this for my 29 gallon…goldfish so they need it!!

Can you wash them in clean water after adding declorinator?

The motor on this thing seems weak. The impeller will often stop and I've noticed when cleaning it that sometimes the only way I can get the impeller to rotate is by taking the cover off the canister and then removing the retaining clip over the impeller and put it back with the impeller spinning. I then have to keep the motor running "dry"...put the lid back on and then prime the pump to get it moving water again...all while the motor is running dry. That's ridiculous. This is a 6-month, unused canister filter so sadly I can't return it.

Two months later...what about the Discus fish? Bad maintenance of Canister Filter, sorry!

I have the same filter. It's obvious you haven't cleaned it in over a year. Looks like mud. Yuck! You didn't even clean the impeller.

Lol you said girlfriend’s not gonna be happy

I bet other ppl mentioned this but you did too much… do less

Fish peolpe still cleaning the filter's poop with poop 😅
