Key Features & Benefits

• Complete 3-Stage Filtration: Unlike basic models, the AQ-16H comes fully loaded. It includes a yellow coarse sponge to catch large debris, a dual-layer fine sponge for water polishing, and a dedicated chamber filled with porous bio-balls for superior biological filtration and ammonia breakdown.

• Transparent Filter Box: The premium clear design not only looks modern and sophisticated but also serves a highly practical purpose, allowing for effortless visual inspection of your filter media without removing the lid.

• Aerating Water Wheel: Features an innovative built-in rotating water wheel at the mechanical intake. This adds a dynamic visual element while significantly enhancing surface agitation to increase dissolved oxygen levels.

• Energy-Efficient Pump: The included fully submersible water pump consumes a mere 4 watts of power while delivering a reliable maximum flow rate of 400 Liters per hour.

• Space-Saving Top Mount: Designed to sit securely on the top rim of your aquarium, this filter keeps bulky equipment out of the display, maximizing the aquascaping area for your fish and plants.

Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

To ensure the longevity of your filter and the health of your aquatic ecosystem, please follow these best practices:

• Pump Submersion: The submersible water pump must remain fully underwater at all times during operation. Running the pump dry will cause the motor to overheat and permanently fail.

• Protecting Beneficial Bacteria: When it is time for maintenance, gently squeeze the sponges and rinse the bio-balls in a bucket of siphoned aquarium water. Never wash your biological media under untreated tap water, as the chlorine will instantly destroy the beneficial bacteria keeping your tank safe.

• Safety First: Always unplug the filter pump from the electrical outlet before performing water changes, media cleaning, or any routine tank maintenance.
