Anyone Got Hydor Ario Colour?

are they as cool as they look?
supposedly silent too?
can be fixed to base of an aquarium and burried in substrate to aerate and add light too.

Don't use this product..

Well, I wouldn't recommend it. I used to have one and it chewed up 3 of my peppered cories. I've written to Hydor various times (not just about the ario colour but also some of their filters have destroyed some of my fish).. got a really poor response so now I boycott all hydor products.

not exactly a glowing review
was yours buried?
how on earth did they manage to get into the motor housing?

At first it was buried.. killed one cory. So, against my better judgement I stuck it to the side of the tank (near the bottom).. then killed two more cories. I am bias because I now refuse to use anything related to hydor, this is just my experience though so please don't let it put you off trying hydor products.

I had one and it chewed up 2 of my cories as well. I would not recommend this product.

I'm glad it wasn't just me then. Sorry to hear about your loss.
