Cascade Canister Filter for Aquariums (500 Elite)

The Cascade Canister Filters from Penn Plax offer heavy-duty multi-stage external filtration for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The Cascade 1200 Canister Filter, capable of handling aquariums up to 150 gallons, can efficiently provide up to 315 gallons per hour of flow. These filters allow users to combine the benefits of several types of media, delivering powerful mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration for crystal clear water in fresh or marine environments.

Installation is easy, with all necessary accessories provided to connect the filter to the tank and begin filtering in approximately 30 minutes, resulting in visible improvement in water clarity in less than a day. The quick push-button primer makes start-ups effortless, and the two independent directional 360-degree rotational valve taps ensure worry-free placement. Flow-rate control valves and swimming pool-style hose clamps further simplify setup and adjustment.

The attractive cobalt blue color of the filters will complement the aesthetics of the aquarium, and the sturdy rubber-mounted tip-proof rubber base keeps the unit in place. Each pump comes equipped with large filter trays, start-up filter media, and input/output tubing, allowing for the use of more media and longer periods between replacements. The air-tight seal assures proper flow rate while maintaining ultra-quiet operation.

The easy-lift clamps make it simple to release the vacuum and remove the top for changing media or other maintenance. Directional returns help to suspend waste matter, allowing the filter to capture it and leaving only clear, crystal-clear water. Users can utilize a wide array of media, including bio-floss, bio-sponges, activated carbon, and others, to address various aquarium filtration needs.

The Cascade Black Elite filter kit, designed for aquariums up to 30 gallons, pumps 115 gallons per hour and features a quick, easy push-button self-primer. Flow rate cut-off valves allow for adjusting water flow. The kit includes the filter, one Bio-Sponge, one 6-pack of Bio-Floss, one 2-pack of Pro-Carb, one 10-ounce package of Bio Rings, and one large Magna Sweep algae magnet. Users can be up and running in minutes, with no additional purchases required, as everything is included.

Regular monthly maintenance is quick and easy, saving time and preventing frustration. The Cascade Canister Filters and Black Elite filter kit from Penn Plax offer a comprehensive filtration solution for freshwater and saltwater aquarium enthusiasts.
