Great - but a warning
The Penguin Bio-wheel pumps are great: quiet effective and long-lasting. (I have a 170 filter in a 39 gallon tank.) These size C filters are widely available but the Amazon price is much lower than at my not-so-nearby pet store.
A word of warning. The day after changing my filter three months ago fish started dying. Next morning my 6" long Plecostomus was dead. Then three Clown Loaches each about 5 " long. Within a week I had lost 18 of my 20 fish. Yet there was no sign of disease.
A water test and much internet searching finally pointed out what I had done wrong. I had neglected my tank for a few weeks. In a rush to catch up I siphoned out about 30 percent of the water (more than usual) did a "better" than usual job of siphoning up detritus from the gravel. Then - my biggest mistake - I replaced the Penguin filter too! The result is the water chemistry changed too quickly. The Nitrates spiked to a deadly level. My tank healthy for more than two years needed to be started over. Took two months and many water changes before I could safely add new fish.
I visited perhaps a dozen "fish forums" and only one had a comment saying "don't change filters when you do a water change.' The Penguin filters and the box they come in carry no warnings. What I (and you) should do is simple: space your water changes and filter changes a week or two apart.
Now knowing how important the "aged" filter is (especially in a tank like mine with no under gravel filter) I've started this habit: there's just enough space to get a second filter flat against the old filter. After a couple of weeks I remove the older filter and put the newer one - by now doing some biological filtering - in its place. That way the tank is never depending on only a new filter. For larger tanks (say 55 gal and up) the 330 or 350 Penguin pump holds two filters side by side so just change one filter at a time.
Hope this helps you avoid the disaster that hit my tank

Eclipse 6 gallon aquarium filtersI have been looking for aquarium filters for some time for a 6 gallon tank. But everywhere I went--I could not locate them. I was beginning to think that I had bought an aquarium that was out dated. Thank goodness I was able to find them on [...]. I was able to change my dirty filter and it works fabulously! My tank is protected and I now have happy fish! Thanks again [...].
