Filters are used to process waste and impurities so that the water quality remains pristine, keeping your tank inhabitants healthy. Numerous types of filters are available for different applications.

Internal filters sit inside the tank. A basket/housing holds the filter media and a pump circulates the water through the media.

Power filters are easy to use hang on filters that sit on the rim of your tank. Water is drawn into the filter, then pumped through the filter media, overflowing back into the tank.

Canister filters and inline filters have much larger capacity than internal and power filters. Water is siphoned from the tank down to the canister filter. Once the water travels through the filter media, it is then pumped back up to the tank.

Wet/dry filters mix air and water as water trickles over an exposed filter media. Biological filtration and gas exchange occur as the water flows in a thin layer over the media surface. The rapid oxidation of ammonia and nitrite makes these filters extremely efficient
