The Marineland Emperor Power Filter is available in two models: the Emperor 280 Filter and the Emperor 400 filter. Both models feature 2 separate water pumps. The Bio-pump pressurizes and sends streams of pre-filtered, oxygen rich water to each Bio-Wheel while the filter cartridges trap debris and remove dissolved contaminants. Refillable media containers hold an additional 4 oz. of chemical filtration media for maximum pollution removal. The Marineland Emperor 400 or 280 is the ideal power filter for your aquarium. Requires 9.5" of space along the back of your aquarium. Comes complete with filter cartridges, refillable media container, and Bio-Wheel assembly.

Model GPH Max Aquarium Size Hanging Width
280 280 50 gallons 9 1/2"
400 400 90 gallons 15"

Always have grinding noise on impeller assembly
2/21/2013
 
 
Pros:
Powerful
Cons:
Noisy
It is powerful filter. But it is so noisy since day 1. It still has the grinding noise even though after replacing a new impeller assembly. It is bad design of impeller assembly in this filter. Not recommend to buy unless Marineland corrects this defect or re-designs the impeller assembly of the filter.

I am very disapointed with this filter. It's so noisy that I have trouble hearing my tv in my living room. for what this thing costs it should run dead silent. I will be looking for something quiter to replace mine.

Pros:
works perfectly
Cons:
none
I own an Emperor 400 and in my opinion, it's the best HOB filter out there. It's extremely durable, and it has a very strong flow that doesn't ebb overtime.

Humming noise
6/21/2012
 
 
Pros:
Good filtration
Cons:
Constant humming noise
I cannot believe this filter came recommended with almost 5 stars being as noisy as it is. If you have a tank in the bedroom within 5 to 10 feet from a bed or desk area, run, don't walk from this filter. I have two other bio-wheel filters on my smaller tank and they run completely silent with the exception of water splash.
