I've seen it at one of my lfs's looks like a mini mini mini AC. You should also check out the tetra micro or whisper micro (same filter), they go inside the tank so the take up more room and i think have a gph of 73

Thanks rocketshrimp...I actually have the Whisper micro/junior in my 2.5 Minibow. Works great...but compared to that Azoo palm it's huge!

Yah isn't that better for your fish.

Hmm interesting will have to check these out. Azoo products are generally pretty good

I'd seen in Petco that they carried a little candy aquarium with this particularly filter included, so I emailed them to see if they'd eventually be carrying the filter by itself. Here's their response:

Thank you for contacting PETCO! AZOO is distributed in the US by a company called "Red Sea" or "Aquaculture Technologies". Under this label, the filter is called the "Nano-filter" and should be in PETCO by Christmas. Please feel free to ask any associate in the store for more information!

Thank you for inquiring about this product; it's only through feedback like this that we can serve our most loyal customers like you!

I have one of these on my betta tank (2 1/2 gallon), works well and is quiet although i had to adjust it to slower because it was too powerful for a betta, but its made to be aujustable, i like it and would get another

I have two of the Azoo Palm filters, each in a 5 gallon tank. They are both a little noisy (one more than the other) compared to AC Mini or Tetra Whisper 5-15. To clean the impeller assembly you have to lift it out by sticking a flat head screw driver under it and popping it out (magnetic attraction keeps it seated). I think they are easy to get fouled around the magnet drive shaft due to the design. They do a good job of filtering. I cut to size and inserted some filter floss behind the the supplied floss and sponge to fully populate the media basket; also I raised the filter media up about 3/4" so the water would flow through it rather than over it.

Summary, an okay mini HOB filter. I wish AC would make something like this in the 30 gph range.
