Bubble Magus ARF Elite G2 Automatic Roller Filter
Keep your aquarium crystal-clear with the Bubble Magus ARF Elite G2 Automatic Roller Filter — a high-efficiency, self-advancing mechanical filtration system designed for marine, freshwater, and coral reef aquariums. Say goodbye to dirty filter socks and hello to hassle-free, automated water polishing.
How It Works
Water from your aquarium's drain flows into the ARF's internal chamber and passes through a fine paper filter roll, capturing suspended detritus, uneaten food, and organic waste before they can degrade water quality. As the filter roll becomes loaded with particulate, the water level inside the chamber rises. A built-in water-level switch detects this rise and automatically triggers the motor to advance the roll to a fresh section — then the water level drops and the cycle repeats. Completely hands-free operation, 24/7.
Key Features
- Fully Automatic Operation — Water-level sensor triggers roll advancement; no timers or manual intervention needed.
- Dry/Wet Separation — Rectangular paper roller design keeps collected waste dry, reducing fouling and odour in your sump.
- Replaces Filter Socks — Eliminate the chore of rinsing and replacing messy socks; each fresh section of roll delivers consistent mechanical filtration.
- Three Size Options — ARF-S (up to 80 Gal / 300 L), ARF-M (up to 132 Gal / 500 L), ARF-L (up to 264 Gal / 1,000 L).
- Versatile Compatibility — Suitable for marine, freshwater, and coral/reef systems.
- Low Power Draw — Only 25 W, keeping running costs minimal.
- Quality Assurance — Every unit passes a 100% 48-hour test before shipping, backed by a 1–2 year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What sizes does the Bubble Magus ARF Elite G2 Automatic Roller Filter come in?
A: The ARF G2 is available in three sizes — Small (ARF-S) for aquariums up to 80 gallons, Medium (ARF-M) for up to 132 gallons, and Large (ARF-L) for up to 264 gallons — so you can choose the right filtration capacity for your specific tank.
Q: Does the automatic roller filter replace filter socks?
A: Yes. The ARF Elite is specifically engineered to eliminate the need for traditional filter socks. Its paper roll advances automatically whenever the roll becomes loaded, providing a fresh filter surface without any manual sock rinsing or replacement.
Q: How does the automatic roll-advancement mechanism work?
A: A water-level switch inside the filter chamber monitors the water level continuously. When the current section of filter roll becomes clogged and the water level rises, the switch signals the 25 W motor to wind the roll forward to a clean section. Once the fresh section is in place the water level falls, and the process repeats automatically — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Q: Is the Bubble Magus ARF compatible with coral reef and marine aquariums?
A: Absolutely. The ARF Elite G2 is designed for use in marine saltwater aquariums, coral and reef systems (including SPS and LPS tanks), and freshwater aquariums alike. Its dry/wet separation design is especially beneficial in reef sumps where keeping collected waste dry helps maintain cleaner overall system conditions.
Q: What warranty is included with this aquarium filter?
A: The Bubble Magus ARF Elite G2 is backed by a 1–2 year manufacturer's warranty. Every unit undergoes a 100% 48-hour quality-control test prior to shipment. Should any quality issue arise during the warranty period, please contact us for a prompt resolution.
