Why this filter?

The AQUAEL Unifilter UV range combines compact internal filtration with reliable biological support and adjustable water circulation.

Its sponge-based dual-stage filtration captures debris while providing beneficial bacteria with a large surface area for biological filtration.

Integrated aeration and directional flow control help create oxygen-rich circulation while maintaining flexibility for different aquarium setups.

Key Features

  • Two-stage mechanical and biological filtration
  • Quiet operation
  • Adjustable water flow
  • Integrated aeration nozzle
  • Compact internal design
  • UV clarification support for cleaner water

Common mistakes

  • Choosing a model too small for tank size
  • Cleaning media under tap water
  • Ignoring flow adjustment needs
  • Blocking intake with decor or substrate
  • Skipping regular sponge maintenance

Use made simple

  • Mount inside aquarium using suction cups
  • Fully submerge before operation
  • Adjust flow rate to suit livestock
  • Position outlet for ideal circulation
  • Allow filter to establish beneficial bacteria

Maintenance

  • Rinse sponge using removed aquarium water
  • Clean intake and outlet regularly
  • Inspect impeller periodically
  • Maintain consistent water level for efficiency

Pair with

  • Planted aquariums
  • Community freshwater tanks
  • Supplemental biological filtration
  • Airline tubing for additional aeration
  • Water conditioners and bacteria starters

Important Notes

  • Select model based on aquarium size
  • Internal filter remains visible inside aquarium
  • Requires periodic sponge maintenance
  • Flow direction can be adjusted
  • Safe for freshwater and marine systems
NTA Insight:
Internal filters like the AQUAEL Unifilter work best when slightly oversized for the aquarium. Running a filter below maximum capacity often improves water stability and reduces maintenance frequency.

    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.
