Aquael Filter MAXI KANI 250 Canister Filter with External Pump

Description

The Maxi Kani is a versatile canister filter with functions that are not found in other conventional canister filter.

Canisters in the Maxi Kani range are operated with an external pump which can be run both inline or submersed. This design change allows for the following.

  1. By running the pump submersed in the aquarium a Maxi Kani can operate at significantly lower water levels compared to other options.
  2. The flow control dial can be detached for servicing. This allows the pump to continually circulate water while the body of the canister can be disassembled and serviced without disturbing the aquarium.
  3. Since the pump can be run submerse the Maxi Kani does not rely on gravity to feed the canister body. This allows for the canister to be placed at the same height or even above the aquarium.
  4. Running the pump submersed also results in a canister that is self priming requiring no priming pumps or other procedures.

The Maxi Kani also comes with a range of standard quality of life features found in other canisters like flow control, solid clamps and convenient handles.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
