Designed by Seachem and built by Italian pump specialists Sicce, it runs on freshwater and marine tanks alike. It is the model for a 60 to 130 litre community, shrimp or planted tank where a canister would be overkill and a cartridge filter would be a nuisance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-priming pump\u003c\/strong\u003e - no filling the basket, no starting a siphon, and it picks itself back up after a blackout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom-to-top flow\u003c\/strong\u003e - water is pushed up through the basket, so it passes through your media rather than sliding past it as it does in back-to-front designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo proprietary cartridges\u003c\/strong\u003e - the 0.7 L basket takes whatever media you choose, and Seachem Matrix bio-media comes in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface skimmer and sub-surface intake\u003c\/strong\u003e - lifts the oily film off the top while still pulling debris from lower down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable flow dial\u003c\/strong\u003e - turn it down for shrimp, bettas or fry that dislike current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue maintenance alert\u003c\/strong\u003e - pops up when clogged media starts bypassing, so you clean on evidence rather than guesswork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrip-free cleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e - the basket lifts out and clips into the lid to carry to the sink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-cleaning corrosion-resistant impeller\u003c\/strong\u003e - marine-safe, and the only wear part in the filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquarium size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 130 L (35 US gal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlow rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 L\/h (130 US GPH), adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 W at 240 V \/ 50 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEstimated running cost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 44 kWh a year, roughly $13 a year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedia basket volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.7 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnit size (L x W x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5 x 13 x 18 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWall clearance needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTank trim clearance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.6 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal tank clearance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreshwater and marine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning cost assumes the filter runs continuously at 30c per kWh.
