Description

Introduction: The Sobo AQ-901F External Canister Filter is a versatile, compact filtration solution designed for small to medium-sized aquariums. Available with or without a UV sterilizer, this filter offers a powerful yet energy-efficient 10-watt motor, capable of circulating up to 800 liters per hour (LPH). Its multi-stage filtration system keeps aquarium water crystal clear, while the optional UV model helps control harmful bacteria and algae, promoting a healthier environment for freshwater or saltwater setups.

Features:

  • Two Model Options:
    • UV Model: Features a built-in UV sterilizer that eliminates free-floating bacteria, viruses, and algae, reducing the likelihood of green water and disease.
    • Non-UV Model: Provides effective mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration without UV sterilization, suitable for aquariums where UV is not needed.
  • High Flow Rate: Capable of circulating 800 LPH, making it suitable for maintaining clean water in aquariums up to 200 liters (approx. 53 gallons).
  • Energy-Efficient Motor: Low power consumption of only 10 watts makes it an economical choice for continuous operation.
  • Quiet Operation: Designed to minimize noise, providing efficient filtration without disturbing the aquarium environment.
  • Compact Design: Space-saving canister filter fits easily under or beside most aquarium setups, making it ideal for smaller setups where space is limited.

Usage:

  1. Installation:
    • Position the filter outside the aquarium and place the intake and output hoses inside the tank.
    • Secure all connections and ensure the canister is primed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
    • For the UV model, ensure the UV switch is in the “on” position if UV sterilization is desired.
  2. Operation:
    • Power on the filter and allow it to cycle water through the filtration compartments. Adjust the flow rate as needed to suit your aquarium’s specific needs.
    • For the UV model, use the UV function only as needed to control algae and bacteria. Continuous UV operation may not be necessary for all aquariums.
  3. Maintenance:
    • Regularly clean the intake and output tubes to prevent blockages and maintain consistent water flow.
    • Replace filter media as needed to ensure optimal water quality, following the manufacturer’s recommendations.
    • Periodically check the UV bulb (for UV model) and replace it when its effectiveness decreases, usually every 6-12 months.

Available Models:

  • Sobo AQ-901F with UV: 10W, 800 LPH with built-in UV sterilizer for enhanced water clarity and sterilization.
  • Sobo AQ-901F without UV: 10W, 800 LPH without UV, offering effective multi-stage filtration.

Recommendations:

  • For Tanks with Algae Issues: The UV model is ideal for aquariums with persistent algae and bacterial bloom issues, providing an extra layer of water clarity.
  • Economical Option for Medium Aquariums: Both models are energy-efficient choices for tanks up to 200 liters, providing ample filtration at low power usage.
  • Regular Media Replacement: To maintain efficient filtration, replace media as recommended, especially in tanks with a heavy bioload or frequent feeding.
  • UV Intermittent Use: For UV models, intermittent use can help control algae and bacteria without excessive wear on the UV bulb, extending its lifespan.
