Top Fin Pro120 Canister Unboxing, Review, and Controller Software Setup

I take a brand new Top Fin ProSeries Pro120 Multi-Stage Canister Filter and do an unboxing and review. I will also show you how to set up the Controller Software (like an app) that you use to monitor and manage this smart WiFi-enabled canister filter. This filter is made by Eheim for PetsMart and is rated for aquariums up to 120 gallons and it filters up to 450 gallons per hour.

If you connect the filter to your home WiFi and want to manage it, use this link http://eheimdigital or http://eheimdigital.local -- The first one used to work for me but now I can only use the 2nd one on my phone for some reason. Both work still from my home PC. Also, remember you can always connect directly to the filter's own WiFi network and then try the links above or http://192.168.1.1
