Product Information

Know More About Canister Filter

A canister filter provides external mechanical and biological filtration and is commonly considered when an aquarium needs substantial filtration capacity with equipment placed outside the display.

Filter selection should be based on aquarium volume, bioload, flow requirements and the media configuration of the exact model. Actual advertised flow can differ from practical flow once media, hoses and head height are considered.

Clean mechanical media regularly while protecting established biological media from unnecessary disruption. Confirm the exact flow rate, recommended tank size, hose sizes and included media for the Fishes Hub model.
