DYMAX Slim Flo SF-240 is a compact external hang‑on filter designed to give medium‑sized aquariums strong, efficient filtration while keeping the inside of the tank free for fish, shrimp and aquascaping. Instead of sitting in the water like an internal power filter, DYMAX Slim Flo SF-240 hangs neatly on the rim of the glass, helping maintain a clean, uncluttered display.
The cascading waterfall outlet of DYMAX Slim Flo SF-240 creates excellent surface agitation and oxygen exchange. This high level of aerobic filtration supports healthy conditions for fish, plants and other aquatic organisms, especially in tanks where gas exchange can be a limiting factor.
