Cascade 170 Fully Submersible Internal Filter for Freshwater Aquariums, Nano Tanks, Turtle Tanks, and Terrariums

Penn-Plax proudly presents the Cascade 170 Submersible Filter, a quiet and efficient solution for delivering crystal clear water throughout your aquarium. Designed for tanks up to 10 gallons, this filter cycles water at a rate of 45 Gallons per Hour (GPH), making it an excellent choice for both Freshwater and Nano aquariums, as well as a variety of Terrarium setups.

The Cascade 170's adjustable flow switch allows you to increase or decrease the water flow as needed, particularly during feeding times, providing you with greater control over your aquarium's environment. Additionally, the directional flow nozzle enables you to further customize the tank's water movement, enhancing the overall convenience and customization options.

For added versatility, the filter utilizes four suction cups, allowing for both vertical and horizontal mounting positions, ensuring a secure and stable installation regardless of your tank's layout.

The Cascade 170 is fully submersible, featuring a small internal Bio-Sponge that optimizes the colonization of anaerobic bacteria, while also providing mechanical filtration to trap large particulate matter. This feature ensures your aquarium's water quality remains consistently high.

While access to the Bio-Sponge can be slightly tricky, users need not hesitate to disassemble the filter. Although Penn-Plax only offers replacement sponges (Model #: CIF4FI), the internal media chamber can be customized with other filter media to meet the specific needs of your tank.

One of the standout features of the Cascade 170 is its Venturi Aeration system, which provides your tank with filtered, oxygenated water. This innovative design eliminates the need for a separate air pump, streamlining the overall setup and reducing the clutter in your aquarium.

The Cascade 170 Submersible Filter measures a compact 3.25" (L) x 1.5" (W) x 1.5" (D), making it an ideal choice for aquariums with limited space. Its quiet and efficient operation ensures your aquarium's inhabitants can thrive in a peaceful, well-maintained environment.

In summary, the Penn-Plax Cascade 170 Submersible Filter is a versatile and reliable solution for maintaining crystal clear water in your aquarium. Its customizable features, Venturi Aeration, and compact design make it an excellent choice for a wide range of aquarium and terrarium setups.
