16w Aquarium internal cartridge filter

16W Internal Aquarium Cartridge Filter

Brand Chemical Supplies provides this high-efficiency 16W Internal Cartridge Filter, engineered for superior mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration in aquariums up to 150 Liters. This compact, submersible unit is designed for silent operation and ease of maintenance, making it the ideal choice for both freshwater and marine hobbyists, as well as laboratory-scale aquatic research setups.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

• Triple-Action Filtration: * Mechanical: A dense foam sponge captures debris, uneaten food, and suspended waste.

  • Chemical: The replaceable cartridge contains activated carbon to remove odors, discolorations, and dissolved organic toxins.

  • Biological: The large surface area of the sponge encourages the growth of beneficial nitrifying bacteria (Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter) that neutralize toxic ammonia and nitrite.

• Fully Submersible & Silent: The motor is encapsulated in epoxy resin for safety and whisper-quiet operation. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally, depending on your tank’s layout.

• Integrated Aeration: Comes with an optional Venturi Air Pipe. This utilizes the water flow to pull air from outside the tank, creating a stream of oxygen-rich bubbles without the need for a separate air pump.

• Easy-Clean Cartridge Design: The filter housing snaps apart easily, allowing for the quick replacement of the carbon cartridge or rinsing of the foam sponge without removing the entire motor unit from the tank.

• Adjustable Flow Direction: The output nozzle can be rotated 90°, allowing you to direct the current to prevent “dead spots” where waste might otherwise accumulate.

Primary Applications

• Tropical Fish Keeping: Providing clean, clear water for community tanks containing Tetras, Guppies, and Barbs.

• Cichlid Tanks: The high flow rate (1000 L/h) is excellent for managing the higher waste output typical of African or South American Cichlids.

• Quarantine & Hospital Tanks: Ideal for temporary setups where rapid setup and reliable chemical filtration (to remove medications after treatment) are required.

• Aquatic Research: Maintaining stable water parameters in controlled laboratory experiments involving small fish or aquatic invertebrates.

Maintenance & Safety Tips

1. Cleaning: Always rinse the filter sponge in dechlorinated aquarium water (not tap water). Rinsing in tap water will kill the beneficial bacteria needed for the nitrogen cycle.

2. Cartridge Replacement: For optimal water clarity, replace the activated carbon cartridge every $4 \sim 6$ weeks.

3. Safety: Always disconnect the power before placing your hands in the water or performing any maintenance on the filter.
