Aqua One HFX 150 Hang On Filter 500LH

Aqua One HFX 150 Hang On Filter 500LH – Powerful Yet Compact for Larger Tanks

The Aqua One HFX 150 Hang On Filter 500LH fits neatly on your aquarium’s back rim. Because of its slimline shape, you preserve extra space inside for fish, plants, or hides. Moreover, it combines mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration to remove waste and keep water in top condition for coldwater, tropical, or marine setups.

Additionally, you adjust the flow rate easily to suit your inhabitants comfortably. As a result, the waterfall outlet creates gentle surface ripples that boost oxygen levels. Consequently, the included surface skimmer gathers floating debris, so you enjoy clearer water and less maintenance over time.

Key Features

• Surface Skimmer Built-In: It targets debris just below the surface, so you cut down on oily films and keep the top looking pristine without extra tools.
• Deep Tank Extension Pipe: For taller aquariums, you attach the provided pipe, which pulls water from lower depths and improves overall intake efficiency.
• Adjustable Flow Control: You set the circulation precisely, and therefore you protect smaller fish from strong currents while ensuring good turnover.
• Waterfall Outlet System: It produces soft ripples on the surface, which in turn enhances natural aeration and distributes water evenly around the tank.
• Activated Carbon Included: Carbon absorbs dissolved wastes and odours effectively, so your aquarium remains fresh and clear between routine changes.
• Slimline Space-Saving Design: Because the unit stays narrow, it works on most rims and leaves ample room for creative aquascaping or open swimming areas.
