Modular Filter Systems | Customizable setups for various tank sizes | Base: 4L capacity (ISO 9001) ▲ Advanced: 6L capacity (▲ 50% increase) Material: Polyethylene (ASTM D543) Filter Media: Activated Carbon (ASTM D3802) + Sponge (EN 14185) | High customization flexibility, durable construction, multi-stage filtration | Requires assembly, higher upfront cost compared to pre-assembled systems |
Pre-Assembled Filters | Quick setup for small to medium tanks | Capacity: 3L (Industry Standard) Material: ABS Plastic (ASTM D638) Noise Level: 48 dBA (ISO 3891) | Plug-and-play ease, low maintenance, affordable | Limited customization, fixed filtration stages, less durable over time |
Sponge Filters | Low-flow environments (e.g., fry tanks) | Sponge Media (EN 14185) Flow Rate: 50 LPH (Industry Standard) | Gentle on sensitive fish, cost-effective, silent operation | Poor debris handling, requires frequent cleaning, low efficiency for large tanks |
Canister Filters | Large aquariums (100+ gallons) | Capacity: 10L (Industry Standard) Advanced: 8L (closer to standard) Noise Level: 40 dBA (▲ quieter than Industry 45 dBA) | High capacity, efficient multi-stage filtration, space-efficient | Complex installation, expensive, heavy maintenance |
Undergravel Filters | Established planted tanks with gravel | Substrate Depth: 5cm (ASTM C1240) Flow Rate: 20 LPH | Space-saving design, promotes beneficial bacteria growth | Requires gravel substrate, high maintenance, incompatible with sandy tanks |
DIY Filters (Advanced) | High customization needs | Advanced: 6L capacity (▲ from Base 4L) Noise Level: 38 dBA (▲ 15% quieter than Industry) Multi-stage filtration (ISO 16886) | Tailored filtration solutions, modular scalability, superior noise reduction | Steeper learning curve, more components to manage, requires technical skill |
