Information about AQQA Upgraded Hang-On Filter
Enhance your aquarium’s water quality with our upgraded hang-on filter. It offers powerful three-step filtration, a space-saving design, and a unique oil surface skimmer, all while operating quietly.
Upgrade Hang on Filter
This filter provides a strong flow of 2W 80GPH, quickly purifying your fish tank water. Its waterfall-type water flow design is aesthetically pleasing and increases dissolved oxygen. It takes up less space in the fish tank, leaving more room for your fish.
3-Step Filtration
Water passes through a triple-layer filtration system: a biochemical sponge, a layer of activated carbon media, and a layer of professional filter cotton, evolving water quality. For optimal performance, regularly replace the filter layers. Separate filter layers are available for purchase.
Oil Surface Skimmer
This feature offers free assembly and can be easily installed or removed. It automatically floats on the water surface, adjusting with water level changes, and effectively removes impurities and oily film. If not needed, simply plug the installation hole.
Adjustable Water Pipe
Freely adjust the length of the water pipe with the included extension tube to adapt to fish tanks of various heights. The outer water tank features a level governor, used to adapt to different fish tank thicknesses and keep the filter vertical.
Precautions Before Use
This filter is very quiet, with noise levels less than 30dB. When you first start using it, some noise may occur if there’s air in the water pipe. Please fill the water tank with water before use to drive the water pump to pump water.

Perfect for: Beginner-to-intermediate aquarists with 25-200 gallon (21-166 UK gal) tanks who need reliable 77-86°F (25-30°C) stability. Ideal if you’ve experienced temperature crashes with cheaper glass heaters.
Quiet aquarium filter
When the filter first starts to pump water, it will be a little noisy, which is normal. When the filter is running normally, the waterfall is super quiet and the sound is around 30 decibels.The pumping speed is related to the water depth, please be patient.
Water Inlet filter cotton
A filter cotton is installed at the water inlet of the filter, which can prevent the suction of fish and the suction of excessively large particles of sand and gravel, etc.
Fixed horizontal button
By adjusting the distance between the Fixed horizontal button and the fish tank wall, the filter can be fixed horizontally on the tank to increase stability and viewing.
Buy replacement filter cotton separately
Filter cotton comes with 1 filter Cartridges
It is recommended to replace the Filter Cartridges according to the water quality. When the filtering effect decreases, please replace the Filter Cartridges in time.
Filter Cartridges require additional purchase, a box of 6.
Its been running for months. Very simple device that works
light and easy clean .. water fall sound and types of clean for the tank.
So it¡¯s ran for at least 3 days and it is surprisingly quiet. Took a minute to setup but that was my bad no worries though assembly is pretty simple and I like the extra pieces to cap or extend the intake.
