AquaClear Extension Tube for 70, 110 Power Filters

Ordered to use on my AquaClear-110 as an extra filter on my 210-gallon tank. So, I needed an extra tube as this tank is much taller than my others. It arrived sealed in a Fluval labeled bag but upon opening it I instantly realized it was slippery & had some type of oil or grease like material all over it. I washed it, I dried it, I let it sit out in the sun, but it still had that coating on it. After repeating the process, I was comfortable placing it in my tank but more out of necessity than desire. It did take the filter some extra time to suck up the water & get going with the extra (3rd) tube on it, but it worked. By the time it took to get the filter running properly I noticed air bubbles were coated all over the new tube & the new tube only (with the oily substance on it). I dont normally use carbon in my filters, but I added large bag of it out of concern for this tube & the unknown substance on it. It has been over 24 hours & all the fish & snails are fine, but I cannot recommend this product without knowing exactly what that oily substance it comes coated with is & why.

Good!

Simple replacement tube, does the job.

Just what I needed in order to have the tube reach the bottom.

Thank you!

This is exactly the same extension tube included with my AquaClear 70 power filter. If you have a tall aquarium and you want the intake near buttom, I highly recommend this extension tube.

Since it was unclear how deep the filter would reach with the included tube(s), I ordered this. This is exactly the same as the tubes included with the filter. It turns out there are two included with the AquaClear 70. Two tubes reaches an appropriate depth in my 20 deep tank. Adding a third tube would actually have hit, or wanted to go through, the floor of the tank. So, Ill keep this as a spare.

Perfect fit for my filter.

Quality Control is poor. 2 out of 4 were defected.

Para nada. No llegué a estrenarlo Porque no entraba a la Tubería del Depósitos
