As per the photo, I depend on plants for biologic filtration. The only material I use with the power filter is Aquaflow filter medium that I bought on Amazon. That combination, along with 10% water changes every week or two, yields a healthy, balanced aquarium stocked with nano shrimp and H. formosa (least killifish).
Initial review:
I have a 3 gallon freshwater nano aquarium that I set up using a 12" diameter, 8" high cylindrical glass vase. When I ordered the filter, I wasn't sure it would fit the tank's curvature: but it fits perfectly. The EA unit comes with a nice sponge pre-filter which I left in place. However, I replaced the two internal sponge filters (see below). There is even a small amount of room for activated charcoal in a small (cut down) mesh pouch, and also for a few BioMax pellets.
It's easy to adjust the flow rate. The filter is essentially silent . On rare occasions, it does "buzz", but turning it off for 30 seconds and then re-starting the filter resolves the noise issue. As long as the water level in the tank is at or above a marked line, the pump will not need to be primed after shutting off the power. I can do a 30% water change without turning off the filter. If do turn it off during the water change, it re-starts without needing to prime the filter box.
It's perfect for a 3 gallon aquarium.

Too early to say how cleaning or replacing the filter media is yet. The filter did not restart itself after two power outages, but after adding a cup of water to the filter directly, it started right up again. Struggled to find anything like this in physical stores. Would definitely recommend for any small fish tanks that want an external filter that's quiet and small.
