AquaClear 20 Hang-On-Back Filter for Singapore Nano Tanks

The AquaClear 20 is a hang-on-back power filter rated for tanks from roughly 18 to 76 litres, which covers the desktop and nano builds so popular in Singapore HDB and condo homes. Its large media basket and adjustable flow let you customise mechanical, chemical and biological stages, and the waterfall return gently breaks the surface to aid oxygenation, genuinely useful in our warm 27 to 29C tanks where gas exchange keeps livestock comfortable.

One local consideration is start-up after a power cut. During monsoon-season outages an HOB filter can lose prime, so we suggest keeping the intake well submerged and checking it restarts cleanly once power returns. The customisable media also lets you tailor filtration to our soft, chloraminated tap water, for instance running carbon to help neutralise chloramine residues during water changes while preserving your beneficial bacteria on the BioMax.
