It takes standard paper filters, although the container could probably hold an after-market wire screen filter as well.

You most likely will need a filtering box to make it work. That is what I am using and it works great!

It isn't a bad filtering system . It has easily exchanged cartridges you can get on line or at an aquarium shop . How often you change them depends on the number and size of fish in the aquarium and your water supply. Using clarifying water tablets/conditioners and an alga remover helps with filtration.

You would have to ask the manufacturer of the filters for that info.....I'm just a consumer :)

I guess you can call it a filter. As far as I know, you don't need anything additional. The directions are not user friendly.

Yes, different filtering speeds are available. "Qualitative" is relatively fast filtering. Others have tighter openings and filter more slowly with a higher recovery.

Just the filter of course. Sorry for the delayed answer.I believe Amazon offers the filter as a "buy together" item.

It depends on how much of the filter is covered. I change the filter before each time I use it.

There are two models, a large and a small. I have the large and it uses a number 4 filter.

Could be a filter. I don't remember anymore. I got rid of the unit a while back after it quit on me after 6 months.

You can buy the universal prefilters at a good price from Amazon. You can also find them at Target and Walmart, but the supply tends to be inconsistent.

The filters can be slow. They filter slowly because they are doing a good job of double filtering. It's worth waiting for.

You can use either. I use a No. 4 Melitta paper filter or a gold metal filter depending on my mood. There will be some grit with the metal filter.

I bought this for a friend and don't remember a filter. Sorry I cannot be more informative.
