Fluval MSF 304.jpg (10991 bytes) These filters are full of unique features that make Fluval a superior choice for your aquarium! A few reasons why Fluval filters are the best: they are self-priming and have self-flushing impellers; they have twin foam screens and filtration versatility ; an adjustable output adapter allows directional flow control above, at or below water surface; new motor technology, and radically redesigned filter flow for efficient use of the entire canister volume; Aqua-Stop valves make maintenance a breeze by shutting off water flow while hosing remains intact! Select a Fluval MSF and you won't be disappointed. Included with the Fluval MSF filters are Foam Blocks, Fluval Carbon and BioMax Biological Filter Media. Takes 1/2" tubing and has a flow rate of 260 gallons per hour. Dimensions are 13" x 9 1/2" x 6 1/2".
Fluval 303.jpg (12980 bytes) Designed for aquariums up to 70 gallons. Media Kit includes: 3 bags of Fluval carbon, 3 bags of BioMax pre-filter ceramic rings, and a Fluval foam 2-pack. Also included are 2 double disconnect valves for easy servicing.
HOT Magnum.jpg (17099 bytes) Combines the convenience of "hang on" power filters with the filtration efficiency of canister filters. No hoses! Pumps 250 g.p.h. Use as a micron or carbon filter. Media changes are fast and simple. Its compact size (61/2" wide) makes it very portable for tank-to-tank clean-up. Use the Rite-Size foam sleeves to prolong the life of the micron cartridge or carbon container. The optional Power Kleen can also be hooked up for fantastic removal of detritus between water changes.
Same dual-flow performance as its bigger cousin, same multi-stage filtration efficiency, but in a compact size that will fit practically any aquarium! Only 93/8" wide, the 280 is a single Bio-Wheel version of the Emperor filter. Features a filter cartridge with a dense polyester filter pad to trap dirt and debris, plus two full ounces of activated carbon. The included media container also allows you to add four more ounces of your choice of other media. And, the 280's dual-pump flow design permits only pre-filtered water to reach the Bio-Wheel, keeping it cleaner. Pumps 280 g.p.h.
emperor400.jpg (10728 bytes) The Emperor 400 combines high-end performance with multiple filtration options. Its revolutionary dual-pump flow design allows the Flow-Pump to be adjusted to reduce output for feeding, while the Bio-Pump continues to power the classic Bio-Wheel wet/dry biological filters. The Emperor delivers over 400 g.p.h. and has four media slots which provide you with more media options and capacity. Includes two 2oz. replaceable filter cartridges, two 4oz. media containers, and two bio-wheels.

tfskimmer.jpg (14710 bytes)  Top fathom protein skimmers. High quality venutri protein skimmers available in standers and custom sizes for any size aquarium.  Adjustable standpipe overflow to eliminate changes in column height and adjustable venturi air intake.   

Top Fathom skimmers are the most efficient protein skimmers available. A properly sized pump is required to optimize this skimmer. The larger the pump
the more efficient the skimmer.
Inlets may be connected to separate pumps or attached to existing filter pumps with adequate GPH and PRESSURE. (3 psi or greater, which is about 7 feet of head pressure) Taller skimmers will require more pressure.

To find the approximate psi for a given flow (gph) with a pump, find the head pressure at the desired flow rate and divide it by 2.31. Compare this pressure (psi) and flow to the charts below.

Example: A pump is rated at 350 gph at 10 ft of head. 10/2.31 = 4.3 psi. This pump runs 350 gph at approximately 4.3 psi. This pump will work with the TF200A.

Note: Most power heads do not
have enough head pressure to run
Top Fathom skimmers. However
some submersible pumps and many
external pumps do.
