This filter quietly delivers crystal clear water, and pushes water at 150 Gallons per Hour (GPH) for tanks up to 35 Gallons in size. It’s great for Freshwater and Saltwater aquariums. Accommodating: The adjustable flow knob allows for increased or decreased water flow at will, which is extremely helpful during feeding times, or use it as needed. The hang-on design is constructed for safe mounting. The lift tube extends between 7” (min) and 10. 5” (max). Extremely Beneficial: This Cascade filter utilizes disposable, double-sided media cartridges that contain Activated Carbon and Poly Fiber Floss. The included cartridge traps floating particulate matter, removes harmful chemicals and toxins, clears up discolorations, and reduces foul odors from your aquarium’s water. Revolutionary: The Cascade 150 Power Hang-On Filter features a Bio-Sponge cartridge that optimizes colonization of anaerobic bacteria, and is independent from the first stage filter media. In addition, our Bio-Falls system enhances water oxygenation, and aids with removing ammonia and nitrate. Overall Measurements: 6. 75” (H) x 7. 25” (W) x 4. 75” (D). Directions Follow included paper instructions. Review: Works great on my 3.4 gal. Very small, for some reason I was expecting it to be a little bigger but its cute and works great. The insert is no good. But I left it in for now. I shoved an aquaclear (20/30) bio media bag in it and it just fit. Of course that media goes in a much larger filter so even if I removed half of it. And used filter floss with it. It would work great. For now just the media is working for me and it's quiet with great flow. It says it will work up to 7 gal. An I'm sure it would. But I would only put it on 5 gal max myself. Review: Defective product. The filter did not start at all. Seems like the wiring or plug is faulty. ## Features - QUIET & EFFICIENT: The Cascade 150 Power Hang-On Filter quietly delivers crystal clear water throughout the aquarium.

If you've only got one filter on your tank, don't use this one. **Q: Is there any type of "filter extender?" I need it to reach farther now.** A: Not that I know of. But, I bet you can go to your local hardware or builder store and find vinyl tubing that has a diameter that would snuggly fit over the end of the tube. Then you can make it how ever long you need and cut it to size. Bring the filter tube into the store and test it out on different sizes. I'm sure something will fit on it. **Q: I need an extension on the water intake, what is the longest length I can add to this filter?** A: I was concerned also when i realized how short the tube was, but can say after a years use that this is one of the best filters I've ever used in my 35 gal tank. **Q: Can I use this for a saltwater tank** A: Hey Daniel, Thanks for your question. Yes, you can use this filter for a saltwater tank. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***B on 14 March 2018* Works great on my 3.4 gal.

Seems like the wiring or plug is faulty. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***R on 20 January 2020* The story of my review may be like a few others . I ordered the first Penn Plax Cascade Aquarium and it arrived on time and by appearance not damaged. Putting it together was easy. I put it in my 20gal fish tank. I plugged it in and the motor and impeller started up and it started to work just fine. I then checked on it about an hour later and the motor was humming and the impeller had stopped. I took it out and checked the directions and all was correct. I put in back into the tank and it ran for about a minute and then the impeller stopped working. I tried to hand turn the impeller by hand but it would not work. While the unit worked initially it seemed to be doing a good job and the motor was very quiet. So I put in a return request. I received a response within a few hours. I returned the unit and within 3 days my replacement came. I put it together and plugged it in and tested it in my sink. It worked just fine. I then put it into the tank. Again it worked fine. I checked on it in an hour and it was working perfectly. I have now had it 2 weeks and I love it. No problems, motor quit and it does a good job to keep the water clean. I like the option of being able to adjust the water flow. I would highly recommend this product. My only advice is that after you put it together test it first before putting it into your fish tank. I was impressed with Amazon's return policy. I have been buying from Amazon for more then 6 years and purchased almost 80 items, this was only the 2nd time I had to return an item. I gave it 5 stars because not matter what the item is or where you purchased it you will get lemon from time to time. In the end the new returned item worked great. ## Frequently Bought Together - Penn-Plax Cascade 150 Power Filter – Hang-On Filter with Quad Filtration – Great for Freshwater and Saltwater Setups - Penn-Plax Cascade Hang-on Power Filter Replacement Cartridges - 3 Pack - Penn-Plax Cascade 150 or 200 GPH Hang On Filter Aquarium Bio Sponge Replacement; 1 Pack; Cut to fit Cascade 150 or 200 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/60008570-penn-plax-cascade-150-power-filter-hang-on-filter-quad](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/60008570-penn-plax-cascade-150-power-filter-hang-on-filter-quad) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
