Filter flood in the living room.

[RobVG]

Bought a used 25 gallon aquarium that came with a Rena Filstar canister external filter.
It's worked fine for 3 days but developed a leak from the top of the filter and put about a gallon on the carpet.
Luckily I was there and noticed the water level had dropped.
Looking for recommendations for a new submersible filter.
Thank you.

What type are you looking for like a sponge filter or any filter

The o-ring might have split on the external canister filter. These can be replaced relatively cheaply.

You can put the filter in a bucket or plastic storage container to trap any water if it leaks again before you get it fixed or replaced.
