Our verdict

A compact canister filter with a heater built in, so the tank needs no separate heater inside it. Flow rate and heater wattage are not listed.

ASIN: B07LH8N8R6Model: Filtosmart Thermo 100Category: Aquarium Filters

Overview

OASE builds the FiltoSmart Thermo as a small canister that filters and heats in one unit outside the aquarium. Foam and ceramic media clean the water, while a heater inside the canister warms it on the way back.

Moving the heater out of the tank removes clutter and stops fish from touching a hot element. Flow rate and heater power are not given, which makes it hard to size against a particular tank.

Who it's for

Planted tanks, nano reefs and display aquariums where in-tank equipment spoils the look gain from the combined unit. Keepers who size equipment by flow and wattage need more data.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Heater built into the canister
  • Thermal shutoff for safety
  • Flow adjusts at both ends
  • Aquastop prevents spills
Cons
  • Flow rate and heater specs not listed
  • Rated only up to mid size tanks

Performance notes

Clarity comes from the coarse and fine foams trapping particles, with ceramic media hosting bacteria. Temperature is held by a bi-metal thermostat with thermal shutoff, and the dual flow valves let you slow the return for gentle fish.
