Hagen Fluval Aquastop For Fluval 104-404, 105-405 Series, Ribbed Hosing

I had a fluvial 305 that the lever was busted. This one swapped out in minutes and fit like a charm. It's been up and running for a couple of months with no issue. it was much cheaper than what LFS's were quoting so it's a win win.

Excellent invention for quickly servicing the filter. First lever stops both inlet & outlet at the same time. Second lever releases the Aqua Stop with both hoses attached from the filter making servicing easier (since both will have water in them will ALMOST eliminate the need for priming).

I have two Fluval 305's and and Fluval 106, and the Aquastop feature on these filters is their weakest link. When the AquaStop is new it works great, and makes these filters very convenient to use.

However, after a year or so, the plastic starts to lose its integrity, so the Aquastop becomes difficult to reinstall after I clean a Fluval 305. At least the AquaStop can be purchased at a discount so that it takes some of the sting out of having to replace them ever year or two.

Other than that I really like my Fluval 305 canister filters. The 305's a workhorse of a filter that does a fine job of keeping the water in two of my planted aquaria nice and clean.

The fact this filter (list price $270) usually sold for about $180 before it was replaced by Fluval's 06 series,

makes the ones which I purchased new for $89.95 and 119.95

great bargains.

And as a fishkeeper I am always looking to make this hobby as affordable as possible.

There's not much more to say. I needed to replace the original aquastop because it was starting to leak and it would not unlock from the filter housing for monthly maintenance and cleaning without significant force. Replacing the aquastop has made the monthly maintenance of the filter a snap once again.

Bought this because one tip broke on my old Fluval 104 I got in a "box of fish junk" with a tank, stand, hood, heater, etc for $5 on Craigslist (SCORE!!) and I wanted to use it on my frog tank. The old one had a bottleneck where shed frog skins and plant matter and rocks would stop the whole thing up. The new manual aquastop allows free flow. Now the plant matter and frog skins get trapped in the filter where they belong. It looked too big when I got it I almost returned it because it is WAY larger than the one that comes with the filter. It is the new mechanism. It does fit and I love it!!
