PAT-Mini 400 l/h

The Aquael PAT-Mini is a miniature turbine filter for keepers of small freshwater aquariums who need filtration without a large footprint or high power draw. Its suction-cup mount and hanging hook make it simple to position on the rim of the glass.

Why it matters

• Flow adjustment: a switch on the front of the head sets the output, so the current can be matched to the tank and prevents excessive water movement in smaller setups.
• Directional outlet: the end nozzle can be aimed at the tank wall, which reduces the current in the water column.
• Built-in aeration: an air tube attaches to the outlet nozzle to oxygenate the water.
• Low power consumption: rated at 4 W for a maximum output of 400 l/h.
