01
Aim for good turnover
A common guide is around 5 to 10 times the tank volume per hour.

Canister for planted tanks
Keeps equipment out of view and pairs well with lily pipes.

Common questions
Before you choose.
Canister or internal filter?
Canisters suit larger and planted tanks. Internal filters are simple and fine for small tanks.
How often should I clean my filter?
Every few weeks for most tanks. Rinse media gently in old tank water, never under the tap.
Do you sell replacement parts?
Yes. We carry media and common spare parts. Bring in the old part if you are unsure.
