How It Works
The Aqua One ClearView 280 draws water from the aquarium into its external filter chamber, where debris is captured through mechanical filtration while biological media supports beneficial bacteria growth. These bacteria help break down waste products such as ammonia, contributing to a stable and healthy aquarium environment.
Once filtered, clean water is gently returned to the tank, improving oxygenation and circulation without creating strong currents. This makes the ClearView 280 especially suitable for smaller fish, shrimp, and planted aquariums.
Installation & Use
Installation is quick and straightforward. Simply hang the filter on the back of the aquarium, ensure the intake tube is submerged, and prime the unit according to the instructions. Flow rate can be adjusted to suit your tank’s needs.
Regular maintenance involves rinsing filter media in tank water (not tap water) to preserve beneficial bacteria. Replacement cartridges and media are readily available.
