Fluval Aquaclear Hang On Filter Ac70 – 1135lph

Description

Fluval AquaClear Hang-On AC Power Filter AC70 (1135 LPH) — Delivers powerful high-flow filtration for aquariums up to 265 litres (70 US gallons)

The Fluval AquaClear Hang-On Filter AC70 (SKU: FAQ04) delivers powerful high-flow filtration for aquariums up to 265 litres (70 US gallons). Processing up to 1135 litres per hour (LPH), this high-capacity hang-on-back filter provides superior mechanical, chemical, and biological performance. Its deep basket design prevents bypass, forcing water through all media stages for crystal-clear water quality. Along with its proven multi-stage cleaning, it has CycleGuard beneficial bacteria support and a patented refiltration system. The patented refiltration System is a unique feature that permits flow rate adjustment without compromising filtration efficiency. When flow is reduced, the system will process up to 50% of the water several times within the chamber, ensuring a cleaner and healthier aquarium with exceptionally clear water.

AC Series power filters have become a standout choice that aquarium enthusiasts know and trust. CycleGuard maintains your aquarium’s biological balance and prevents nitrogen cycle disruptions. By allowing 1 of the 3 media inserts to be changed at a time, bacteria levels remain stable, supporting continuous and effective biological filtration without harmful fluctuations.

Superior Filtration: 4 Stage Filtration

A newly patented refiltration system that has calibrated water path cycles through 4 complete filtration stages to optimise cleaning performance.
– Pre-filter stage: Intake strainer sponge protects the pump from large debris and algae strands, and keeps fry and small fish safe.
– Mechanical Stage: High-density 30PPI Bio-Foam (50% more porous than before) traps finer particles and debris while supporting biological filtration (AC20/AC30/AC50/AC70 models).
– Chemical Stage: Activated carbon eliminates odours, discolourations and impurities to improve water clarity and colour. Insert is now easily replaceable from the top without having to remove the media basket.
– Biological Stage: Ultra-porous BIOMAX boosts beneficial bacteria growth and optimises aquarium health.
