UP Aqua D-SMF-60 Super Mini Hang-On Filter for SG Nano Tanks

At 92mm wide and rated for tanks under 20cm, the D-SMF-60 is about as small as a hang-on-back filter gets, which is exactly why we recommend it for desk cubes, betta tanks and shrimp nanos in HDB flats. It hangs off the rim so it takes up no floor space inside the tank, and the silent motor is quiet enough for a bedroom or study. The 60L/H flow suits the gentle current small fish prefer.

For a tank this size the biological filtration is doing the heavy lifting, so keep the media moist and alive. Rinse it in old tank water during a change rather than the tap, and avoid replacing all the media at once. The low 3W draw means it barely warms the water, a genuine plus given our tanks already run warm without a heater for most tropical species.
