Fluval 205 External Canister Filter

Part of the Fluval�� 05 Series of advanced external canister filters for aquariums, Fluval�� 205 is the filtration system of choice for discerning aquarists who want to achieve maximum versatility and premium performance to create aquatic masterpieces. Like all Fluval�� 05 filters, Fluval�� 205 is a multi-stage filtration system that utilizes the entire canister volume for radically increased contact time for optimum filtration efficiency. The mechanical stage has vertical, twin foam pre-filters that prevent clogging of chemical and biological filter media. The chemical and biological stages are housed in independent modules. Filter media can be changed independently to ensure a consistent level of beneficial nitrifying bacteria. Fluval�� 205 includes many unrivaled features, including a reinforced canister for lasting durability, Instant Prime for quick filter start-up, an AquaStop��� valve that allows quick hosing disconnections without creating a vacuum, lift-lock clamps that make assembly and disassembly a snap, a high output motor for outstanding performance and safety, a precision-engineered and balanced impeller assembly with durable ceramic shaft for quiet and lasting operation, a self-flushing impeller well that keeps the impeller cool and debris-free for less maintenance, and ribbed, non-kink hosing that allows quick and easy installation and supports better water flow. The Fluval�� 205 External Canister Filter is specifically designed to provide complete filtration for aquariums up to 200 Litres (40 U.S. gallons). It comes with an installation DVD and is backed by a 3-year guarantee. The Fluval�� 05 Series consists of Fluval�� 105, Fluval�� 205, Fluval�� 305, and Fluval�� 405.
