If you read the comments here, it is pretty clear that it is common for this product, for whatever reason, to cause livestock issues. As some have pointed out, it could be a miscalculation when dosing; however, there are better products and better methods for fighting algae and I wouldn’t use it.

    I accidentally tilted the bottle while pouring the cap into the pond! All the fish disappeared and I was freaking out!!! Luckily, I knew what happened as soon as it happened and was able to look up the solution to act quickly. Thankfully, fish are fine. Switched to API’s Algaefix alternative which uses enzymes. Been dosing 2x/week for 3 weeks as well as scrubbing stone fixtures where algae collects. Not perfect, but should improve once plants cover more surface area.

    I wonder if someone using the Fluval 207 could help me. As I have limited hole openings in my fish tank and there is a lid, as well, would someone be kind enough to let me know what is the total width (or height) of the hose including the rim connector, at the point when the hose curves over the aquarium glass? I would appreciate any answer from someone who uses this filter, as I'm eager in buying it. Many thanks in advance!

    I've got several of these, in both 20 gallon and 60 gallon size, some made in USA, and newer ones from China. The newer, China made 60 gallon models did make a mechanical sound that the older USA model did not. Close examination showed that the impeller on the ones made in China had a small piece of white plastic (next to the magnet) that wasn't trimmed very well, and which rubbed on the inner wall of the recess where the impeller spins. I trimmed this plastic with a knife out of the kitchen drawer, and the filter immediately became as quiet as the older USA made model, which is to say, almost completely inaudible, and deserving of the Whisper name. Both of my 20 gallon models, one USA made and the other made in China, are perfectly silent, and appear to be made exactly to the same high quality standard. Except for the minor issue with the impeller, the same applies to my 60 gallon models, there simply is no difference in the quality of construction or materials. As mentioned in the video, I also have had the rubber O-ring start to leak on a couple of these when it gets old. The fix is easy, just remove the filter from the aquarium, then remove the motor housing from the bottom of the filter. Wrap a few turns of teflon tape over the O-ring, and reinstall the motor housing. These do need to be filled with water before plugging them in, but mine have been very good about starting reliably if this is done, and restarting after power outages (they don't lose their prime like some filters). The filter pads are very economical to buy, about 60 cents each if you buy them in a 12 pack from Amazon, and you can rinse them and reuse them several times before you have to replace them. The last feature I will mention is the flow control located at the top of the suction tube. This works really well and is easy to operate. It's much better than the flow control on any other hang-on-back filter that I've used, and lets you easily turn the flow down to a trickle for feeding. Taken on a cost/benefit basis, the Whisper is very impressive.
