Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I clean this external hanging aquarium filter?
A: We recommend cleaning your aquarium hanging filter pump every 2 weeks to maintain maximum filtration efficiency and ensure optimal water circulation in your fish tank.
Q: Which model is right for my fish tank size?
A: Choose based on your tank volume. As a general rule, your filter should cycle your tank's total water volume at least 4–6 times per hour. For smaller tanks (up to ~50L), the HBL-301 or HBL-302 (300–350 L/H) works well. For medium tanks (~80–100L), consider the HBL-403 or HBL-501 (400 L/H). For larger aquariums, the HBL-701 (600 L/H) or HBL-702 (800 L/H) provides powerful circulation.
Q: Is this filter pump easy to install?
A: Yes! The hang-on design allows for tool-free installation — simply clip it onto the rim of your fish tank, connect the filter media, and plug it in. Setup takes just a few minutes.
Q: Does this filter create a waterfall effect?
A: Yes. The external hanging filter returns filtered water over the edge of the tank, creating a natural waterfall flow that also helps oxygenate the water, benefiting your fish and aquatic plants.
