Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this acrylic external filter box come with a pump or filter media?
A: No — the filter box is sold on its own. You will need to purchase a compatible submersible pump and your preferred filter media (such as sponge, bio-balls, ceramic rings, or activated carbon) separately to complete the setup.
Q: Can this external filter box be used as a breeding or isolation box?
A: Yes! The internal partitions can be repurposed to create a separate isolation zone within the same unit, making it ideal for breeding fish, protecting fry, or separating aggressive tank inhabitants.
Q: Is the acrylic filter box suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums?
A: The high-transparency acrylic material is durable and compatible with both freshwater and marine (saltwater) aquarium setups. Always ensure the filter media you choose is appropriate for your specific water type.
Q: How do I choose the right size — Small, Medium, or Large?
A: Choose based on your tank's wall thickness and volume. The Small size suits nano or desktop tanks, the Medium fits standard home aquariums, and the Large is recommended for bigger setups requiring higher filtration capacity. Check the product variant dimensions before ordering.
