Description

PENN-PLAX presents the Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Aquarium Filter. Those
who’ve been around the aquatic block for a while know that Under Gravel
Filters (UGFs) are a testament of time. This Filter is air driven and utilizes
an Air Pump (not included) to cycle crystal clear water throughout your
aquarium, while keeping a crisp and neat look inside. This means there’s less
“moving parts,” making for simplistic and easy maintenance. It’s suitable for
most suitable for most 40 – 55 gallon aquariums, and is safe for Freshwater
and Saltwater setups.Biological, Chemical, and Physical Filtration: As air is
pushed through the Air Stones and rises through the Lift Tubes, water is
gently suctioned through gravel and the filter plates, allowing both air and
water to pass through the Filt-a-Carb Activated Carbon Cartridges. When water
continues to be drawn through, anaerobic bacteria collects and colonizes
within the gravel and filter plates.Also Aerates Your Tank: Since the Clear-
Free Premium Under Gravel Filter is air driven through the use of Air Stones
and an Air Pump (not included), it also aerates your tank. In essence, your
aquarium is being filtered and aerated at the same time, though the same
system! It’s a filter and bubbler in 1!Items Included: The Clear-Free Premium
