Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Transparent polycarbonate body: Enables real-time monitoring of filter media and water flow, reducing maintenance guesswork.
    • Three-stage filtration: Combines mechanical, biological, and chemical processes to eliminate impurities and odors efficiently.
    • Adjustable flow control: Suits diverse tank setups, from delicate betta tanks to densely planted communities.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Ideal for beginners or nano tanks (≤30L) needing basic filtration.
    • Advanced Model: Targets hobbyists with medium tanks (≤60L) seeking quieter operation (-10% noise) and longer maintenance intervals.
    • Pro Model: Designed for large tanks (≤100L) or sensitive species (e.g., discus fish), offering triple the filtration capacity of industry benchmarks and NSF certification for medical-grade water purity.

With the Pro Model’s 600L/H flow rate, you can handle high bio-load aquariums while maintaining water clarity. Its NSF certification ensures safety for even the most delicate aquatic life. Pair the Advanced Model’s low noise with its 450L/H capacity for a balance of performance and tranquility in home setups.
