Top Aqua Slim Filters Hang on Back

Top Aqua Slim Filters Hang on Back

Top Aqua Slim Filters Hang on Back are slim hang-on-back aquarium power filters that combine mechanical, chemical and biological filtration to keep tank water clear. They suit hobbyists who want efficient, quiet filtration for nano tanks and small to mid-sized aquariums without taking up space inside the tank.

Key Benefits

• Three-stage filtration: mechanical, chemical and biological media work together to remove impurities, eliminate odours and help keep water crystal clear.
• The biological stage lets microbes decompose organisms in the water, supporting a healthier environment for your fish and other aquatic life.
• An adjustable flow valve lets you regulate the flow and the dissolved oxygen, which is essential for creature growth.
• A super silent submersible motor with wheels keeps noise down and gives your aquatic pets a peaceful environment.
• The see-through filtering box makes maintenance easy and lets you check on the filter at a glance.
• The slim hang-on-back design keeps the filter on the tank rim rather than taking up room in your aquascape.

• Keep the body stable with the bottom button.
• Fill the filter completely with water.
