To see what it costs to run, enter the watts on its label and your daily hours in the electricity cost calculator.
Pump output, filter circulation and maximum flow are measured in different ways. Your filter will move less water than the box says once media and hoses are in. Measure it with the flow calculator.
Before choosing this model
- Confirm the seller listing is item 100106080, not the newer PRO QuietFlow SKU 100552233.
- Budget for Medium cartridges if using them as supplied.
What Aqueon doesn’t publish
- Aqueon doesn’t publish the flow rate or the watts. Don’t compare its flow or running cost with filters that do; read the watts on the pump’s label before you use the electricity cost calculator.
- Aqueon now sells the newer PRO QuietFlow in its place; the tank size here is from Aqueon’s own page for the LED PRO, as archived in October 2025. Check the box says item 100106080.
- That archived page gives the filter as 6.4 × 3.8 × 6.3 in, taller than the 5¼ in height shown here from Aqueon’s 2023 catalog. Leave room for about 6.4 in under a lid or hood.
