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
- Heater built into the canister
- Thermal shutoff for safety
- Flow adjusts at both ends
- Aquastop prevents spills
- 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.
