AquaClear 30 Power Filter for 10- to 30-Gallon Aquariums

The AquaClear Power Filter stands out as one of the most adaptable hang-on filter systems currently available. With five models to choose from, it offers a wide variety of flow rates tailored for the most commonly used aquarium sizes. Its innovative design enables a media volume up to six times greater than that of similar filters, coupled with the longest water-to-media contact time in the industry.

Featuring a state-of-the-art multi-stage filtration system, the AquaClear 30 Power Filter guarantees comprehensive mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration, which leads to superior water quality. In fact, its filtration capacity is up to seven times larger than that of comparable filters, facilitating an excellent contact time with AquaClear filter media. The filter nurtures beneficial bacteria, fostering a stress-free atmosphere for fish and live aquatic plants, while effectively maintaining crystal-clear water.

The filter’s distinctive waterfall design gracefully returns filtered water to the tank, doing so quietly and gently disrupting the surface tension, which in turn enhances oxygenation. A patented flow control feature grants users the ability to adjust the water flow to suit specific aquarium requirements. To maximize filtration efficiency, the media basket ensures that water is filtered through the media without bypassing it.

Installation and maintenance of the AquaClear Power Filter are user-friendly and straightforward. Each filter comes equipped with AquaClear Foam, Activated Carbon Filter, and AquaClear BioMax. AquaClear also provides a diverse array of media like Zeo-Carb and Ammonia Remover specifically designed for the AquaClear 30 Power Filter. This comprehensive product line enhances the experience for those maintaining freshwater tanks and can be used as fish tank accessories, decorations, and filter media suitable for both large and small aquariums.

Designed for aquariums ranging from 10 to 30 gallons (38 to 114 liters), the AquaClear 30 Power Filter boasts a maximum output of 150 U.S. gallons per hour (568 liters per hour). It is especially beneficial in scenarios where delicate fish and plants require a gentler flow; the patented AquaClear re-filtration system allows users to reduce the flow rate without sacrificing filtration quality. When the flow is lowered, up to 50% of the water within the filter chamber is recycled multiple times, optimizing mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration.

Beneficial bacteria are crucial for any healthy aquarium as they play a key role in breaking down toxic ammonia and nitrite. Unlike cartridge filtration systems, which lose beneficial bacteria each time the cartridge is replaced, the AquaClear system retains these essential microorganisms, minimizing stress on fish and accelerating the re-colonization process.

Several AquaClear filter insert options enhance filtration effectiveness: the AquaClear Foam Insert ensures efficient debris removal and optimal water distribution, the Activated Carbon Filter Inserts offer extensive surface area to trap undesirable impurities, and the BioMax Filter Inserts provide a favorable environment for beneficial bacteria growth.

For maintenance, it is recommended to replace the AquaClear Foam Insert every two months, the Activated Carbon Insert monthly, and the BioMax Insert every three months. The AquaClear Power Filters come with a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship under normal operating conditions, providing peace of mind to users.

In addition to the filters, AquaClear offers products like Ammonia Remover for new or crowded freshwater aquariums, as well as enhancements like the Nutrafin Cycle Biological Supplement that quickly establishes a safe biological environment for fish. The combination of advanced filtration technology and beneficial additives makes AquaClear a leading choice for aquarists looking for reliable and efficient aquarium maintenance solutions.
