Description

Maintain cleaner and healthier aquarium water with the Sobo 518 HOB Filter. Designed with a slim hang-on-back structure, this compact aquarium filter provides efficient water circulation without occupying valuable space inside the tank. Its maximum flow rate of 250 litres per hour makes it a practical filtration solution for smaller aquarium setups.

The filter supports mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. Mechanical filtration helps capture fish waste, uneaten food, debris, and suspended particles, while chemical filter media can help reduce unwanted odours, discolouration, and dissolved impurities. The biological filtration area provides space for beneficial bacteria that support a stable aquarium environment.

Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums, the Sobo WP-518H features an accessible filter chamber and an easy-to-clean filter screen for convenient routine maintenance. Its energy-efficient 3.5-watt operation provides continuous filtration and circulation while keeping electricity consumption low.

The slim external design helps preserve swimming and aquascaping space inside the aquarium. It is suitable for fish tanks, planted aquariums, shrimp tanks, and decorative aquatic setups that require compact and reliable filtration.

Usage Note

Fill the filter chamber with aquarium water before switching on the unit. Install the filter securely on the aquarium wall and ensure the intake pipe remains below the water level during operation.

Clean the filter screen and mechanical media regularly to maintain proper water flow. Biological filter media should be rinsed gently with removed aquarium water rather than chlorinated tap water to help preserve beneficial bacteria.

Keep the plug, cable connection, and other electrical components away from water. Switch off and unplug the filter before cleaning, adjusting, or performing aquarium maintenance.
