Turbo Filter – 600 l/h modular filter

This modular external-style filter pump suits keepers of aquariums between 30 and 95 litres who want to tailor the filtration to their own media. It replaces a standard internal filter, with the flow adjusted to the tank volume and to the media in use.

Why it matters

• Two separate media baskets: each basket unclips individually for access, and the pump can drive water through both baskets or through just one.
• Flexible media choice: the baskets accept a range of media, such as activated carbon, bio-ceramics, Neo Media, bio-balls or Organ-Ex, and their order can be changed.
• Stepless flow regulation: the flow runs from 100 to 600 l/h, so the output can be matched to the tank size and the media load.
• Optional aeration: the set includes fittings, tubing and an air valve with a rubber construction that the manufacturer says reduces noise from water and air flow.
