Aquarium Hang-On Filter with Top Drip Box & Submersible Pump
Keep your fish tank crystal clear with this versatile hang-on aquarium filter.

Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- Silent Waterfall Flow: Water cascades gently down the glass wall in a quiet waterfall stream, adding aeration without disruptive noise.
- Three-Layer Filtration: Internal space accommodates multiple filtration media (sold separately) for thorough mechanical, biological, and chemical water purification.
- Adjustable Hanging Hook: The hook adjusts to fit various glass thicknesses, making it compatible with most standard aquariums and turtle tanks.
- Durable ABS Construction: Built from sturdy ABS plastic with a clear transparent casing so you can monitor the filter at a glance without dismantling it.
- Easy Maintenance: The filter box disassembles quickly for routine cleaning, helping you maintain peak filtration efficiency with minimal effort.
How It Works
- The submersible pump draws water up through a lift tube and into the filter chamber.
- Water passes through your chosen filter media layers (bio media, foam, carbon, etc.) for complete purification.
- Cleaned water flows over an overflow lip back into the tank in a gentle, oxygenating waterfall.
Important Notice
Filtration media are NOT included. Please source your preferred bio media, foam pads, or activated carbon separately to complete your setup. For best results, clean and maintain the filter at least once a month to prevent the buildup of organic waste and keep water quality at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of filter media can I use with this aquarium hang-on filter?
A: This hang-on filter box is designed to accommodate a wide range of filtration media including foam pads, activated carbon, bio balls, ceramic rings, and other common aquarium filter media. Media are sold separately — choose the combination that best suits your fish tank or turtle tank setup.
Q: Is this hang-on filter suitable for turtle tanks as well as fish tanks?
A: Yes! The adjustable hanging hook and three-stage internal filtration make it an excellent choice for both fish aquariums and turtle tanks. It handles higher waste loads effectively, and the transparent casing lets you monitor water clarity at all times.
Q: How often should I clean the aquarium filter box?
A: It is recommended to clean and maintain the filter at least once a month. Allowing more than a month between cleanings can result in significant organic debris buildup, which may elevate nitrate levels and compromise water quality. The easy-disassembly design makes routine maintenance quick and straightforward.
Q: How loud is this hang-on filter during operation?
A: This filter is designed to run very quietly. The waterfall-style outflow reduces splashing noise significantly, making it well-suited for bedroom tanks, office aquariums, or any setting where a quiet environment is important.
