Product Detials
The Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter range is built for aquarists who want the performance of a canister filter with the convenience of a hang‑on design. These external filters sit neatly on the side or back of the tank and draw water through a multi‑stage filtration system, returning clean, polished water back to your aquarium.
Ideal for nano and small to medium aquariums, each Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter offers a flexible media chamber, surface skimming and a quiet, energy‑efficient motor. Whether you keep freshwater fish, shrimp, a small marine setup or even a turtle tank, this filter range is designed to help you maintain a healthy, stable environment.
Key Features of Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter
-
Flexible multi‑stage filtration
Every Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter includes dual black coarse foam inserts to trap debris and provide a large surface area for beneficial bacteria. The main canister chamber can then be customised with your choice of mechanical, biological and chemical media. -
Customisable media chamber
The spacious canister in the Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter allows you to build the filtration system that suits your tank:- Fine filter wool or pads for polishing water and catching fine particles
- Biological media (e.g. ceramic noodles or bio‑rings) to boost biological filtration
- Chemical media such as activated carbon or specialised resins for targeted water treatment
- Cut‑to‑size foams or pads for complete flexibility
-
Built‑in surface skimming
Many aquariums develop an oily film at the surface. The Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter helps remove this surface film and organic waste, improving gas exchange, oxygen levels and overall water clarity. -
Adjustable multi‑angle outlet
The adjustable outlet on the Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter lets you direct water flow exactly where you want it. Aim the flow along the surface for better oxygenation, or into specific areas of the tank to improve circulation. -
Ultra‑quiet operation
Engineered for whisper‑quiet running, the Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter is suitable for tanks in bedrooms, offices and living spaces where noise needs to be kept to a minimum. -
Compact, space‑saving design
Because the filter hangs externally, the Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter saves internal tank space for aquascaping and fish. The compact body is easy to install, remove and maintain.
Suitable Aquariums and Uses
The Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter range is ideal for:
- Freshwater aquariums
- Small marine or reef nano tanks (with appropriate media)
- Turtle tanks and paludariums
- Planted aquariums where internal space is at a premium
The external design keeps equipment out of the display while still providing strong, reliable filtration and water movement.
Setup and Maintenance
Setting up a Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter is straightforward:
- Install the intake and outlet according to the instructions.
- Rinse the included coarse foam and any additional media in dechlorinated water.
- Arrange your chosen media inside the canister for mechanical, biological and chemical filtration.
- Prime the unit if required and plug it in to start circulation.
For best results, rinse mechanical media (foams, pads, wool) regularly in old tank water and replace chemical media as needed. Biological media in your Bioscape Hang On Canister Filter should be cleaned gently and not replaced all at once to preserve beneficial bacteria.
