Description of 🐠 Aquael ULTRAMAX Filter: Canister Filtration System for Freshwater and Marine Aquariums

FILTER MEDIA PERFORMANCE - ULTRAMAX filter media are placed in handy, ergonomic baskets that are free to reconfigure. This guarantees efficient mechanical and biological filtration that meets the needs of any aquarium, including the ideal conditions for the growth of beneficial nitrifying bacteria. PRE-FILTER - The first of its kind in the market, a sponge pre-filter comes built-in to the lid of each ULTRAMAX filter. It is designed to capture coarse mechanical impurities before they can get inside the filter, protecting the device from clogging and reducing the frequency of cleaning. Regularly cleaning the pre-filter sponge with tap water is simple, and does not require disconnecting from the power supply or removing it from the aquarium stand. QUIET - The ceramic rotor shaft, coupled with the design of the pump rotor and the rotor chamber result in virtually noiseless operation. Use the filter in any room, even in a bedroom. EFFICIENT - The ULTRAMAX filter features a high water flow rate and can efficiently operate even in very large tanks. It also consumes very little energy, which means lower electricity bills for aquarium keepers. The fine performance control also makes it easy to adjust the rate of operation to each user’s needs. SAFE TO USE - Water inlets and outlets in these filters are equipped with dual ball-valves that are extremely reliable. The integrated cut-off valves prevent even the smallest water leaks and allow the hoses to be easily and quickly disconnected from the filter.

Large Canister Filter

This is a good small filter with a high flow rate. However, there are two disadvantages. First, the hose is not a standard size, which can make it difficult to use other accessories. Second, it has an issue with constant air getting in, which I think is due to a sealing issue. It doesn't leak. But it is almost impossible to let all the air out of the canister. The good thing is that this thing has plenty of flow and can easily handle large tanks. It offers plenty of space for filter media. It's

Aquael hit a home run with it!

I've always been a Fluval guy and have seen Aquael in publications and online. I did a little research and it turns out they have been working for 40 years and just launched in the US last year. I was looking for a new canister filter for my new 63 gallon setup and settled on the Ultramax 1500. The very easy installation and self-filling was amazing! The 2 best parts are the top one which is easy to get to the pre filter location and I think the best part is you can hear a pin drop next to it…

  • Fish and Aquatic Creatures
