Finally changed my aquarium filter! 🤗
Clean water means healthier and happier fish. 😉 Also saves water 💧 as I don’t need to frequently change it, and longer time between maintenance means I get to enjoy watching my fish more than cleaning their 💩! 😜🎉

More thoughts.
Pros:
- affordable compared to other branded canisters
- easy to set-up
- fairly quiet
- option to turn UV light on and off
- spare parts are available and easy to find (impeller/UV lamp), they are included in the set but are also sold separately if you need replacements
- it workssss!
Cons:
- the attachments for water inlet/outlet do not fit aquariums with thick edges or margins, I wish the horizontal part that hooks on the side are extendable
- plastic quality feels a bit flimsy but it’s cheap - we get what we pay for ☺️
- priming can be tough, I had to pump a lot initially but now everything is easy peasy (tip: fill the canister with about 3/4 water before starting and give a light tap or shake to remove extra bubbles inside)

Hi, 👋🏼 for those who are asking for an update how this is performing after more than 1 year of use, quick update here: ru-vid.comlU1ebdneBDg?si=6RLMEMfXz1XUbIkr

@user-sr7ps1hb4n 9 месяцев назад

Korean subtitle support was very helpful. Thank you so much and I decided to buy this product after watching this video. Let's pray for the product to come safely. Thank you for the video!

@themotobanditshow Год назад

I have the same. Replace the tubing and it will work better. The supplier tubes are of a low quality. I went to my local aquarium/ fish shop. For better water flow use the little pump handle to create pressure in the pump systems for teh pump itself to pump correctly. Thanks for the video.

@thehobbyist_finds Год назад

Yup. I also replaced the tubes after about 3 months though I didn’t really find any issue with it, just that after a while they sometimes bend flat and prevent the water from fully flowing.

@paragshinde3438 Год назад

Thank you for the video, The Hobbyist. Its been more than 9 months of usage. Just wanted to check if it's running smoooooth or if you've run into any issues. I am thinking of buying this.

@thehobbyist_finds Год назад

Still working fine as day 1! Best decision I’ve ever made. No rattling, and very quiet. I have to do maintenance every 3 weeks then and my cichlids and blood parrots are so much bigger now which means more bio load. I only changed the replaceable sponge filter inside once to a better quality and now I only do maintenance every 5 weeks. All parts are still intact.

@deusexmachina1253 Год назад

I would put the output on the other end and intake in the opposite., for small water flow/movement

@thehobbyist_finds Год назад

Thanks. I would do it as well, but due to space constraints (I have a glass door to another room on the other end), decided to put both hose on the same side…or I’ll need a longer hose from the other end which is more visually distracting/clutter.

@yawg333 9 месяцев назад

hows it doing now? noise, leaks, any deterioration in flow rate or impellar damage?

@thehobbyist_finds 8 месяцев назад

So far, everything works fine. I haven’t changed any parts, UV light and impeller are still the original ones that came with the box. Flow rate is good. Every time I clean it which would be once a month or every 3 weeks, I just make sure that I spray the impeller with a bit of pressurized water to remove any gunk that may be stuck in there- same with the UV light, I haven’t removed the cover that protects it but just spray some water in to make sure it’s clean. I think if cleaned in a regular basis at a reasonable length of time (not too often/too long), helps in preventing damage. I’ll upload a short video of the canister status this weekend.

Whats ur tank size for sf850 filter

@thehobbyist_finds 21 день назад

My tank size is 30x16x18 inches and holds 142 liters. This model is for 24-30 inch size aquarium. There are bigger sizes (1000-2200L/H) for bigger tanks.

@christopherjohnmunsami1393 8 месяцев назад

Where is the on/off switch for the filter ???? I got the 1500 with uv.

@thehobbyist_finds 6 месяцев назад

There’s no on/off switch. It works automatically when you plug it in the electrical outlet. It’s for this reason why I use an extension cord with its own switch, that way, after cleaning it and setting it back up, I just turn the switch of the cord on and it will work.

@mohdshahrilafizadzakaria4770 6 месяцев назад

Hello thank you for sharing

@aheimsvensson1573 6 месяцев назад

Feel that your fish really can hurt them self or get killed if they get stuck to the intake as you don´t have the intake basket on...

@thehobbyist_finds 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the concern. It’s there at the end of the intake tube. This was posted about 2 years ago. All my fish now are bigger than 4 inches, they’re all fine :) - see the pinned update link. Wouldn’t do anything that would hurt my babies.

What to do if fish stuck in filter

@thehobbyist_finds 11 месяцев назад

There’s a cap with tiny grills/holes that would prevent fish from being sucked in. If you have smaller fish, you can add a sponge to this so it’s safe for any size of fish in your tank. The suction is quite powerful. There was a time I was cleaning the inlet tubes and didn’t realize the cap was loose and it fell- my juvenile angel fish went close and its head was stuck in the tube. I panicked and turned the machine off and wiggled the tube and it went free. 😅😅😅 I’m still using the same filter now, loving it, no issues. Btw, the angelfish is fine and still alive and bigger. If little fish are stuck, turn off the machine immediately and open the filter tank if you see them going inside the long hose, see if you still can get them from there.

@rayr6454 Год назад

What does those two buttons do on the canister?

@thehobbyist_finds Год назад

There’s only one button on the canister. The one that turns on and off the UV filter/sterilizer light. The orange one near it that’s slightly bigger is the manual pump you pull and then push to help the filter in starting up.

@rayr6454 Год назад

@@thehobbyist_finds thank you so much for the reply. Where is the on and off button then?

@thehobbyist_finds Год назад

There is no on/off button. It will slowly start to pump the water in when plugged. I use a power hub with separate switch so when I’m done cleaning and putting everything back together, I just switch it on from there.

@abuanwp Год назад

2:24 - I was about to comment why the water is so dirty. lol!

@thehobbyist_finds Год назад

😆 - by the way, it’s Aug 2023 and my Sobo canister is still working and is still very very quiet.

@zainosway Год назад

Mine has an extremely annoying rattle. How can I quiet it down?

@thehobbyist_finds Год назад

Hi. For me it helps to fill the canister with water about 3/4 and make sure that the sponge below has absorbed enough water that there are no bubbles trapped inside. I lightly shake the canister, tap the corners and see if there are still bubbles coming up and I continue until I don’t see any bubbles anymore before sealing it shut. It also helps in starting the pump more quickly.

@thehobbyist_finds Год назад

If it’s not the bubbles, check the impeller, sometimes gunk is stuck or pebbles or it’s simply not well aligned or properly pushed down.
