• 2,200 L/h rated flow — enough for several full turnovers an hour on tanks toward the top of its 700 L range.
• Built-in 9W UV clarifier — every pass through the canister also passes the UV chamber, clearing green water and free-floating pathogens without a separate in-line unit.
• Three-stage media, included — mechanical, biological and chemical media ship with the filter, not sold separately to get started.
• Smart Start priming — the pump primes itself on start-up rather than needing a manual siphon to get water moving.
• Valve-isolated maintenance — shut-off valves on the intake and return let you pull the canister for a clean without draining the tank or the hoses.
• Basket handles — the media baskets lift out by their handles for a faster clean and refill.

Rated to 700 L, this canister is sized for medium to large freshwater and marine aquariums. At the top of that range, 2,200 L/h works out to a little over three times the tank volume turned over every hour — a reasonable minimum for a heavily stocked or heavily planted tank. On a smaller tank in the 200–300 L range, the same unit turns over closer to seven to ten times an hour, more flow than most community setups need; consider Bioscape's smaller Tropic canister models (800 or 1200) if your tank is under roughly 350 L.

2,200 L/h is the manufacturer's rated flow at zero head, measured with the canister empty. As with any canister filter, real flow at the spray bar drops once the media baskets are loaded and once lift height and hose run to the tank are added. Bioscape hasn't published a loaded-flow figure or a head-height curve for this model, so if your tank is near the top of the 700 L rating, plan for noticeably less than 2,200 L/h delivered in practice rather than sizing right on the headline number.

Rinse mechanical and biological media in tank water at water changes rather than tap water, to protect the bacteria colony. A UV lamp's germicidal output fades well before the tube stops glowing, so replace it on a fixed schedule rather than by eye — Bioscape hasn't published this model's specific interval, so check with us or the manufacturer if you're unsure how long yours has been running.

Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums up to 700 L, including setups where clarifying the water without a separate in-line steriliser is useful. Not suitable as the sole filter on tanks significantly larger than 700 L, and not a substitute for a protein skimmer on a reef system.

Covered by a 2-year manufacturer warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Runs on standard 220–240 V, 50 Hz Australian household power.

Does the UV clarifier need a separate power point?

No — the 9 W UV lamp draws from the same 45 W total power connection as the canister pump, and runs whenever the filter is switched on.

Can I run this without the UV stage active?

The UV chamber is built into the main water path rather than a bypass loop, so water always passes it while the filter is running — there's no separate switch to disable just the UV lamp on this model.

What media does it come with?

The full three-stage set — mechanical, biological and chemical media — ships in the baskets, so it's ready to run without buying media separately.

Is it reef safe?

Bioscape rates this canister for marine as well as freshwater use. As with any UV device, check compatibility with any planned ozone or supplement dosing.
