This is a review for the mini external cannister filter which is sold under the names "BOYU" and "JAD" among others. Mine is the JAD EF-05.

This is a small external filter for smaller aquariums, with a flow rate of 150 l/hr.

Having had this filter for a few weeks, I'm very pleased with it. Although it is supposed to "hang on" the side of the tank, once it is running it runs fine placed at the same level as the tank. So I have my 30 litre tank on a chest of drawers and the filter sits on the chest behind the tank. It is a bit noisy, I suspect air is trapped in the impeller compartment and it's difficult to get rid of, but its not overly loud and you can sleep in the same room for example.
