Any trapped air is automatically evacuated every 12 hours to ensure maximum efficiency. Multi-functional Utility Valve: The drain at the base allows for seamless water changes by draining and refilling the canister directly.
Convenient lid-mounted hosing clips facilitate clean storage when not in use. Four-Stage Filtration: Four removable filter baskets eliminate water bypass and can hold up to 1 US Gallon (3.9 Liters) of media: mechanical, chemical, and biological. These baskets enable you to stack in the optimal combination for your aquarium. Compact and Quiet Design: The FX4 canister filter stands 16.5 inches (42 centimeters) tall and easily fits under most aquariums. The unidirectional impeller has fewer mechanical joints for reduced noise, while rubber feet reduce vibration and enhance stability.
