Aqua One Poseidon CFZ-2000 Canister Filter

Aqua One Poseidon CFZ 2000 Canister Filter is a LV (low voltage) external filter engineered for aquariums up to 400 litres.

Featuring an integrated pre-filter chamber, incoming water passes through a dedicated prefilter sponge before reaching the main media trays.
This design catches large waste debris early, preventing premature clogging of biological media and simplifying routine maintenance. making it an ideal choice for messy fish, like Goldfish and Cichlids.
Powered by a bottom mounted pump, the filter initiates a smooth siphon start up with minimal effort.
Operating on low voltage via an included power transformer, the unit consumes just 23 watts.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Integrated Pre-Filter Chamber: Traps coarse debris before water flows into primary biological media, preserving biological filtration efficiency and reducing cleaning frequency.
• Easy Access Pre-Filter Sponge: Simple to remove, rinse, and reinsert without needing to disassemble the entire filter canister body.
• Bottom Mounted Pump Design: Simplifies priming by initiating the siphon effortlessly once a small amount of water reaches the base of the canister.
• Adjustable Flow Rate: Allows custom flow control to optimize water contact time for specific filter media, such as nitrate removal resins or delicate biological setups.
• Low Voltage Operation: Equipped with a dedicated power transformer for safer operation and reduced power consumption compared to traditional canister filters.
• Multi Tray Media Capacity: Accommodates a range of mechanical and biological filter media layers for custom filtration setups.

Included Filter Media:

• Pre-Filter Sponge: Captures heavy floating debris upon entry to protect main filter layers. 
• Fine Wool Filter Pad: Polishes water by removing minute suspended particles before returning clean water to the aquarium.
• Fine Black Sponge: Traps intermediate dirt particles before water progresses to final fine polishing layers.
• Sintered Glass Balls: High surface area biological media that promotes dense bacterial growth to help break down toxins like ammonia.
• Ceramic Noodles: Highly porous ceramic shapes designed to channel water in multiple directions while hosting beneficial nitrifying bacteria.

Technical Specifications:

• Maximum Recommended Aquarium Volume: Up to 400 litres

How Water Flows Through the System:

1. Inlet: Aquarium water enters through the top inlet and travels down the internal inlet tube straight to the pre-filter chamber.
2. Pre-Filtration: Water flows through the pre-filter sponge, trapping coarse waste and preventing media clogging.
3. Biological Stage: Water rises through multi tray media layers, passing through Ceramic Noodles and Sintered Glass Balls for ammonia and toxin breakdown.
4. Mechanical Polishing: Water passes through the Fine Black Sponge and Fine Wool Filter Pad to eliminate fine cloudiness.
5. Outlet: Clean, filtered water returns to the aquarium through the adjustable outlet.
