The Science of Biological Filtration
Chemical filtration cartridges include 25% more activated carbon than most competitors to remove more pollutants for longer period of time.
Higher flow rates ensure higher dissolved oxygen content for healthier, more active fish. Also higher turnover means more water filtered per hour.
Patented biological grid provides more surface area for sustaining a healthy biological bacteria bed. A second wet-dry grid adds more biological filtration and increases the oxygen supply as the water flows back into the aquarium.
The internal pump is actually submerged in the aquarium. This helps dampen noise, eliminates leaks and starts up automatically (no priming) after cleaning or power interruptions. No more messy spills.
All-in-all, one of the best power filters today.
Increased circulation from larger Bio Wheels provide more surface area for nitrifying bacteria to grow. As the Bio Wheel turns, water contacts the bacteria, allowing it to eliminate toxic ammonia and nitrite. As the Bio Wheel turns, water is also oxygenated. This keeps the tank and the nitrifying bacteria healthy.
Popular Rite-Size filter cartridges make media care easy. New sealed motor and tighter cover design cut down water noise.
Each filter cartridge is also packed with Black Diamond Premium Activated Carbon. As the water passes through the carbon, harmful contaminants are removed.
Refillable Media Containers can hold an additional 4 oz of activated carbon, White Diamond Ammonia Neutralizing Crystals, Diamond Blend (the ultimate in purifying power) or other chemical filtration media to maximize pollution removal capacity.
The extremely quiet Filstar XP is great for all types of aquariums. It has a large media capacity, strong flow rates and solid construction combined with ease of maintenance.
H.O.T. Magnums install in minutes...a feature which makes it ideal for multiple aquarium water polishing (includes the Water Polishing Micron Cartridge). Snap-lock, leak-proof connectors eliminate the need for hoses or tubing. And H.O.T. Magnum's U/L -listed synchronous motor and epoxy-encapsulated electrical components are your assurance of safe operation.
Each filter includes a 350 GPH pump and a micron cleaning cartridge for water polishing.
Water enters the canister, surrounds the media and flows through rather than around it. No-bypass ensures total filtration. And Magnum's versatile systems design also allows you to connect the output to a BIO-Wheel PRO for wet/dry biological filtration.
The only aquarium filter of its kind with a patented design, self-priming, bottom-mounted motor, the Magnum® Canister Filter provides the ultimate in easy setup and restart capability.

The Pro Series supplies optimum and efficient filtration for saltwater aquariums. Delivers unsurpassed 3-stage filtration (mechanical, chemical and biological). This filter provides superb water movement, consistently processing waste and impurities so the aquarium's water quality remains ideal, thus keeping the aquarium water crystal clear and your tank inhabitants healthy.
The Rapids Pro Filter large filtering capacity continually re-circulates the aquarium water, processing waste and impurities.
The Overflow Box efficiently moves dissolved organics and other waste material down to the filter where the contaminants and other impurities are removed. (The only patented Overflow Box to deliver automatic filter stop and start in the event of electrical power loss. This feature disrupts aquarium water flow and prevents water from draining back down into the filter sump, subsequently preventing flooding.) The multi-directional return nozzle adjusts to promote optimum surface water movement, increasing beneficial gas exchange and keeping waste materials in suspension until they are removed to the filter via surface skimming. Adjustable skimming gate provides optimum aquarium surface skimming.
The Protein Skimimer (Foam Fractionator) prolongs the effectiveness of the filter media by removing waste materials from the filter system before they are broken down into toxic ammonia and nitrite compounds. The water pump with venturi attachment produces enormous amounts of fine air bubbles, which move upwards towards the top of the Reaction Chamber. At the top of the Chamber, the bubbles burst, and the attached waste materials are released, creating a foamy layer. As the foamy layer accumulates, it pushes up into the Collection Cup where it is affectively trapped. The end result is removal of unwanted nitrogenous wastes, an improvement in aquarium clarity and higher beneficial O2 saturation in the returning water.
The powerful Rapids Submersible Pump delivers 700 gallons per house of flow rate. Designed and engineered to consistently produce high flow rate with low heat emissions and quiet operation. The Rapids Submersible Pump is a work horse, providing years of reliable operation.
It uses a unique diatom powder to filter particles as small as one diatom in size. Even some parasites and bacteria are large enough to be trapped and pulled out of the water by a Diatom Aquarium Filter.
Used properly, your Diatom Aquarium Filter will eliminate the need to "tear down" your aquarium to clean.
Model D-1 is for most routine cleaning jobs. Filters over 250 GPH. Clears a 10 gallon tank micron free in 12 minutes.

The Next Evolution In Aquarium Filtration is Crystal ClearThe SubCurrent sets a new standard in aquarium filtration. Unmatched by traditional power filters, the unique design of the SubCurrent combines the efficient dynamics of a surface skimmer with a 3-stage trickle filtration module. The SubCurrent installs inside the tank in minutes with ease and completely eliminates the risks associated with hang-on or external aquarium filters. It runs so quiet, you will forget its even there.
Skimming InnovationEfficiently skimming the aquarium water surface, the SubCurrent not only removes organic film but improves water movement and increases vital dissolved oxygen levels. Unlike traditional power filters, the SubCurrent removes dirt and dissolved organics from the surface of the water - eliminating those unsightly oil slicks.
Flowing PerformanceUL Listed submersible pump silently pulls water through the complete 3-stage filter module and pumps it back into the aquarium. Lever style pump outlet provides complete flow control for optimum performance. Dual outlet nozzle is completely flexible and allows water to be pumped into almost any location - eliminating "dead zones" of zero water movement. Powerful suction cups allow easy placement and installation into any aquarium.
3-stage Trickle PowerUpon entering the filter teeth of the SubCurrent, water is immediately polished with a washable mechanical filter pad which traps debris and dirt. Passing through a molded drip tray, water trickles through a bag of marine grade activated carbon which chemically absorbs impurities and discoloration keeping water crystal clear. High-performance Nano-ball biomedia provides a high surface area location for bacteria colonization which can remove ammonia and nitrites on contact - providing superior biological filtration.
What's IncludedEach SubCurrent filter includes a flexible dual outlet nozzle, UL Listed submersible pump, 1 bag of marine grade carbon, 1 bag of Nano-balls biomedia, 1 mechanical fllter pad, 2 internal drip trays and mounting suction cups.

Undergravel aquarium filters clean and filter the water by pulling it down through the gravel, trapping contaminates in the gravel and leaving the water clear and healthful for fish. The gravel provides both the mechanical filtration needed to trap the large particulates of excess food and fish feces, and the surface area to cultivate biological activity for cleaning the water of dangerous biological by-products such as Ammonia.
Order replacement filter cartridges and air stones below.
Placed under the gravel on the bottom surface of the aquarium, the filter plates utilize the gravel bed as a source area and provide oxygen by recirculating the water down through the media and up through the uplift tubes. Advance design allows separate plate installation and features optional flow-thru set-up which can be used with a power head. Made of special quality plastic which resists splitting and cracking. Available in 3 different styles to fit rectangular, hexagonal, octagonal, and flatback aquariums.

A refugium is a miniature ecosystem attached to your main tank often housing isolated polulations of sensitive animals or plants. Much like a greenhouse on a space ship, a refugium will improve the quality of your saltwater system by addedg extra filtration, bionutrients and other food sources as well as giving refuge to sensitive species.
Refugiums can be used to keep the peace in your salt water tank: used as a refuge chamber for the more delicate species such as sea horses and peppermint shrimp (to name just two) who would otherwise become a food source for the other inhabitants of the tank. It can also provide a place to raise fry in a tank that shares the water with their birth tank
Refugiums can be used to supply live food and planktons to your aquarium. They are well suited to cultivate food sources such as algae and micro-fauna separate from the predation by herbivorous inhabitants of the main tank. Cultivating Caulerpa and other macroalgaes can help to consume ammonia/nitrates and phosphates that accumulate unhealthfully in your tank.
Refugiuims can help maintain pH levels.
It can be used for something as simple as just increasing your water volume.
Overflow boxes are typically used to bring water from the main aquarium to the wet-Dry Aquarium Filter or the sump. They consist of a "skimmer" box inside the tank (that has small slits to help prevent smaller fish from "overflowing" out of the tank and into the sump) and a larger box with hose attachments outside the tank. Water that rises above the level of the "skimmer" will "overflow" into the sump below, thus keeping the water level in the tank constant.
The surface of the water is constantly skimmed, removing undesirable film and enhancing gas exchange. Additionally, the water is aerated as the water falls over the overflow, down the drain and splashes into the sump.
A reef sump has important benefits to any aquarium.By using the sump to hold extra water, the volume of water in the system is increased. Evaporation from the tank itself is mitigated by the reserve in the sump, preventing the annoying need to constantly add water to the tank.
Additionally, larger water volume in saltwater systems makes the system more stable. The chemistry and temperature change on a day to day basis in a large volume of water is less by percentage than the same change to a smaller volume of water.
The sump is the ideal place to house equipment such as heaters, filters, skimmers, thermometers or any other equipment that detracts from the aesthetics of the tank.
The sump is an excellent place to add new water, medicate, adjust chemical balances etc. By using the water in the sump, the effect of changes to the chemistry is less dramatic on the delicate inhabitants of the tank (having been diluted by the sump water before it is introduced into the main tank)
Sizing: The size of your sump is generally dictated by the space into which you will fit it. If you are going to invest in a sump, make is as big as your can area can handle without inhibiting our ability to get equipment in and out of it without dismantling it - the bigger the better.What is the difference between a sump and a wet/Dry Aquarium Filter? A wet/Dry Aquarium Filter is actually just a sump with a chamber for bio-media (often bio balls) built into it.
Easy to use, the unit hangs on the back or the side of the aquarium, just like a standard filter. It is designed to be self-starting and maintenance-free.
Easy to replace Rite Size Filter Cartridges filter out debris, removes odors, discoloration, and impurities. Contains Black Diamond Pure Activated Carbon--works twice as fast and keeps working long after other carbons quit. Double-thick poly-fiber pad. Makes aquarium water sparkle. Traps more dirt.

Bio Wheels provide more surface area for nitrifying bacteria to grow. As the Bio Wheel turns, water contacts the bacteria, allowing it to eliminate toxic ammonia and nitrite. As the Bio Wheel turns, water is also oxygenated. This keeps the tank and the nitrifying bacteria healthy.
Water enters the filter and is forced over the top of the intake column. There it drips through the mechanical and chemical filter trays, onto the BIO-Wheel where biological filtration (removal of toxic ammonia and nitrite) is efficiently carried out by a commercial-sized BIO-Wheel. Flow continues into sump area then is passed through the dedicated skimmer/refugium area.
Ample sump design features skimmer/refugium area for further customization.
Revolutionary front-loading media trays make keeping your filter in tip top shape a breeze. They also allow customization and expansion of mechanical and chemical filtration process.
