The powerhead strainer and sponge serves as mechanical filtration preventing the bio-media in the container from getting clogged. However, I have used everything from Biomax rings, to Matrix, to Eheim Ehfisubstrate Pro. Since whatever media is in this cartridge will become gunked, Ehfilav is a perfect option. My preference would be Eheim Ehflilav because its size is perfect for the Magnum media container and it retains its biofiltration properties even when there is a shortage of mechanical filtration. Fill the media container with a biomeida. Next, take the media container and toss the carbon. This easily resolved by simple modifications.įirst, get a reverse flow kit for a Penguin powerhead and attach the strainer/foam pre-filter from the kit to the inflow tube of the Magnum. Since the Magnum 350 is designed primarily for Carbon filtration, without a Bio-Wheel attachment there is no mechanism for bio-filtration. Not because it is a poorly manufactured filter, it is a well made product (I have one that has been in constant use for 20 years), but because it is not flexible. The Marineland Magnum 350 does not have a good reputation with many aquarists. The quick disconnects, while functional, leave something to be desired. Personally, I use mine as secondary filters, modified more for biofiltration, although historically I have used them as standalone (solo) filtration on tanks up to 55 gallons. So if nothing else, they make great water polishing filters.

Unlike the Eheim Classics, these filters are rarely recommended due to their size (lack of media volume), although with the proper modifications and use of the biowheels (in the Pro models) they make excellent, reliable to an extreme, filters.įor mechanical filters, if using the Micron cartridge, they can’t be beat. I have another Magnum 350, purchased a few years back, that is identical to the one purchased 20 years ago. I personally have a Magnum 350 that has been in constant use for approaching 20 years (with no parts replacement). Like the Eheim classics, their beauty is in the simplicity of the design. Next to the Eheim Classic filters, these are the “grand daddy” of Aquarium canister filters as they’ve been in manufacture, virtually unchanged, for decades.
If purchasing a new filter, the leak concerns with this filter are no greater than with any other canister filter.

Even though my filter was out of warranty, Marineland replaced my valve block and motorhead, free of charge. Once discovered, Marineland issued a recall of all affected filters, replacing both the Motorhead and valve blocks. This was the result of a manufacturer’s defect that occurred during several production runs. While researching reviews of this filter on the Internet, you will come across numerous reports of leaks. While priced in the mid-range of canister filters, its features are more comparable to the very high end Eheim filters. The Marineland C-Series filters, primarily the C-360, provide perhaps the best “bang for buck” of any canister filter in the hobby.
