ANS SS Surface Cleaner 17mm for Larger Filters

The 17mm version of our stainless surface cleaner is sized for bigger canister hosing and stronger pumps, making it the pick for larger display and aquascaping tanks. Like the smaller model it draws the oily protein film off the water surface and into your filter, but the wider bore keeps flow restriction low on high-throughput setups. In Singapore’s warm 27-29C tanks, a clean, well-agitated surface genuinely helps oxygen exchange for stocked community fish.

Stainless steel suits our climate far better than fragile glass when you are reaching elbow-deep into a planted tank during weekly maintenance, and it resists the corrosion that humidity and splashing encourage. The skimming intake clears surface scum that otherwise dims your lighting and starves a carpet, while the adjustable opening lets you balance surface pull against mid-water intake so livestock stay safe.

See the rest of our filtration & equipment range, and for context our surface scum guide and surface agitation guide explain why this matters for tank health.
