Turbo Filter – modular filter, 1500 l/h

This filter suits keepers of aquariums between 60 and 200 l who want to choose their own filter media and control the flow rate. The pump runs at 25 W and is adjustable from 200 l/h up to 1500 l/h, so the output can be matched to the tank volume and the media in use.

Why it matters

• Two separate media baskets: each basket unclips individually for access, and the pump can push water through both baskets or through only one.
• Free choice of media: the baskets take media such as activated carbon, bio-ceramics, Organ-Ex, Neo Media or bio-balls, and their order can be changed.
• Stepless flow control: the flow can be reduced to suit the tank volume or a particular media load.
• Optional aeration: the package includes a fitting and tubing set and an air valve with a rubber body that the supplier says reduces noise from the water and air flow.

What it works with

The filter fits freshwater aquariums in the 60 to 200 l range and works with any combination of media that fits the two baskets.

According to the supplier, the impeller shaft is made of sintered stainless metal with titanium and is suitable for use in seawater.
