Buying guide
Getting the flow rate right makes all the difference: as a general rule, aim for a filter capable of turning over your tank's full volume around four times an hour, though heavily stocked tanks or those housing messier species may benefit from going a size up. Inside, most hang on back units combine mechanical media to trap debris with biological media that hosts the beneficial bacteria your tank relies on for stable water quality, so it's worth checking media can be rinsed or replaced easily during routine maintenance. Not sure which model suits your setup? Use our aquarium filter size calculator to work out what you need before you buy. Once fitted, you'll enjoy that satisfying trickle of moving water and a noticeably clearer tank with minimal fuss.
