In addition, our Bio-Falls system enhances water oxygenation, and aids with removing ammonia and nitrate.OVERALL MEASUREMENTS: 8. 25” (H) x 11. 25” (W) x 6. 25” (D).

Review: silenciosos y funcionales
Review: Works great on my 3.4 gal. Very small, for some reason I was expecting it to be a little bigger but its cute and works great. The insert is no good. But I left it in for now. I shoved an aquaclear (20/30) bio media bag in it and it just fit. Of course that media goes in a much larger filter so even if I removed half of it. And used filter floss with it. It would work great. For now just the media is working for me and it's quiet with great flow. It says it will work up to 7 gal. An I'm sure it would. But I would only put it on 5 gal max myself.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hey guys, what is the voltage? does it go from 110 v to 240v? i don't see it on amazon uk. if it doesn't work with 240v, what can i do? thanks.**
A: Thanks for your question. This filter is 110V and there's no way to adjust it to 240V for England. We wouldn't recommend running this filter with a power converter, so your best bet may be to stop by your favorite local aquarium store to purchase your filter.

**Q: I always buy the replacement carbon filters but where are the 2 black replacement foam sponge filters?**
A: When I buy these filters I throw away the black foam.I used the white filter fiber works so much better..and gets your water clean and clear faster..

**Q: I have a 56 gallon tall tank and need a filter that works well in this type. Will this model work well in the tall tank type?**
A: I think you will be happy with this filter. I am using one in my 200 gal fish tank I like it because 1. it is a good filter 2. It keeps the water oxygenated. ( lot's of bubbles )  :-) when I get my 75 gal tank ready I all ready have one for it.

**Q: What is the KWH for the 300 per day?**
A: idk but its probably not anything your going to notice

This filter works really well. My only issue with it is the intake tube is not long enough, I have a tall 37 gallon tank and it doesn’t even go half way down.
