    I have two dolphin internal powerhead filters. The first has served me for a year & a half very well in my 70L. nice and quiet, easy to change filter media etc. I took out the carbon chamber and put filter floss in. The second one had a bit of a noisy impellar, but took this to the LFS, changed it and it seems to be much better.

    I like them - I'm only using an external canister filter of this brand, but it's been in service for about 5 years. The only problem with it is that it sometimes sucks in air, and can be difficult to start up again.
