This filter quietly delivers crystal clear water, and pushes water at 20 Gallons per Hour (GPH) for tanks up to 7 Gallons in size. It’s great for Freshwater and Saltwater Aquariums. Accommodating: The adjustable flow knob allows for increased or decreased water flow at will, which is extremely helpful during feeding times, or use it as needed. The hang-on design is constructed for safe mounting. With a provided extension piece, the lift tube measures between 5” (min) and 6 1/2” (max). Extremely Beneficial: This Cascade filter utilizes disposable, double-sided media cartridges that contain Activated Carbon and Poly Fiber Floss. The included cartridge traps floating particulate matter, removes harmful chemicals and toxins, clears up discolorations, and reduces foul odors from your aquarium’s water. Overall Measurements: 4.5” (H) x 3.75” (W) x 3” (D)
