Canister Filter

Provides high-capacity mechanical, biological, and optional chemical filtration for medium-to-large aquariums, when appropriately sized and maintained.

Water is siphoned out of the tank via an intake tube, pumped through a sealed canister containing layers of filter sponges, carbon, and ceramic bio-rings, and then returned via an output spray bar or nozzle.

Rinse mechanical media and gently clean biological media in removed aquarium water when flow decreases or the media becomes dirty. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, and inspect seals and hoses regularly.
