Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this filter in a saltwater tank?
Yes. The AQ Series is designed for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

What types of filtration does it provide?
It provides mechanical filtration through its sponge, along with Venturi filtration.

Does it need to be fitted outside the aquarium?
No. It is an internal filter and is fully submersible, so it works inside the tank.

What is the difference between the AQ-1000F and the AQ-1500F?
The AQ-1000F is rated at 15 watt and 1000 l/h. The AQ-1500F is rated at 25 watt and 1500 l/h.

Which model should I choose?
Compare the flow rates of 1000 l/h and 1500 l/h against the needs of your aquarium and the level of filtration you want. The higher-rated model moves more water per hour and draws more power.
