Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2020
I am using this in a mixed reef tank and it could very well be the perfect canister for this situation. To start it is silent!. When I first turned it on there was a slight water trickle noise which completely went away after a few hours. I suspect it was still purging some air pockets during this time. But now it is completely silent - no hum, no water noise, nothing. The only way I know its running is to look at the return line and see the water moving out into the tank.
The pre-filter area is awesome. Oase offers 30ppi, 45ppi, 60ppi and 45ppi carbon sponges for the pre-filter. Mine came with the 45ppi carbon sponges. I have changed these out to the finer 60ppi sponges which are equivalent to approx 250 micron filters. With the 60ppi sponges I rinse them thoroughly every week but the process of doing so is so simple and quick. The benefit is my water gets a polished look and the canister stays clean so I dont have to open and clean it very often. I run purigen in the canister so I do have to open it once a month or so to replace and when I do the inside is virtually detritus free.
The flow is superb. Inside the canister I have 1/2L of Seachem matrix in the bottom basket, 1/2L of Seachem matrix in the next basket, an empty third basket, and 100ml of purigen in the top. I let the prefilter area handle all my mechanical filtration and try not to cram too much media in the filter to slow it down. With this setup I am pushing 208 gph up 32" to my tank. (measured via an inline digital meter).
I connected the heater to my JBJ controller for the first week to verify the accuracy of temperature and it was spot on. It maintains my 48 Gallon tank at a consistent 79 degrees.
This filter is also quiet. For the first 2.5 months of ownership, it was nearly silent. Recently it started a "buzzing" sound so I tried a different type of pre-filter sponges sold by Oase, but the sound continued. I disassembled the impeller and cleaned it out which stopped the noise.
I would still recommend the Thermo version of the Biomaster series to anyone. Four-stars because of the impeller noise issue after 2.5 months. I will update the rating if the noise issue doesn't come back.

Otherwise, this would have been a great filter. A bit pricey but the built quality feels solid.
The filter is extremely silent, you can hardly hear it go!
