Frequently Asked Questions

What size aquarium is the Dophin CF300 suitable for?
It is well suited to tanks up to 82 litres (21.7 gal), including nano aquariums.

Can I use this canister filter on a marine tank?
Yes. The CF300 is suitable for freshwater, marine and nano aquariums, so it works with both freshwater and saltwater setups.

Is the CF300 self-priming?
Yes. It has a self-priming system, which makes start-up easier than with filters you have to prime by hand.

What type of filtration does it provide?

What does 410 l/h mean for my tank?
It is the filter's flow rate, or how much water it moves per hour. In an 82-litre tank, 410 l/h works out to roughly five times the tank volume passing through the filter every hour.

Does the filter sit inside the aquarium?
No. It is an external canister filter, so the unit sits outside the tank. The quick disconnect system makes it easier to detach when you need to.
