Turbo Filter – 500 l/h modular filter

This modular SunSun filter suits keepers of small and medium aquariums who want to choose their own filter media rather than rely on a fixed factory cartridge. It runs on 7 W and is adjustable from 100 to 500 l/h, so the output can be matched to tanks from 30 to 72 L and to the media in use.

Why it matters

• Two separate media baskets can be detached individually, so each one can be opened and refilled without taking down the whole unit.
• Either basket can be run alone or both can run together, because the pump drives water through one or both, and the baskets can be placed in any order.
• Baskets accept media such as Organ-Ex, activated carbon, bio-ceramics, Neo Media and bio-balls, which allows the setup to target specific water parameters.
• Flow is regulated smoothly, and the included air valve has a rubber construction that the supplier says reduces noise from water and air flow.

What it works with

The filter fits aquariums from 30 to 72 L, where the adjustable flow range lets the keeper set the output for the tank and for the chosen media. The kit includes two sponges, two baskets, an air-injection set, a suction-cup holder, an extra outlet and a connection for aquarium hoses, so it can be configured for a planted or a more heavily stocked tank.
