If you are planning to use this canister filter or ANY other for a marine aquarium, please read this article: Marine Aquarium Set-Up; Filters, more RELATED PRODUCTS;
Rena XP Canister Filters
While our SunSun Canister Filter are the best Economy Canister filters; The Filstar is the BEST Canister Filter at ANY price (only our Fluidized Sand Bed Filters are better for aerobic bio filtration). Available models: Rena XPS, XPM, XPL, XPXL
Rena Smart Aquarium HOB Filter
The Rena Smart Filter is revolutionary aquarium power filter (HOB), bringing the superior filtration of a canister filter to the back of the aquarium for simplicity of maintenance.
When a Filter Max Pre-Filter is added to the Smart Filter it is unsurpassed as a Hang On Aquarium Filter.
Filter Max Aquarium Pre-Filters
For improved bio filtration, improved aquarium filter efficiency. These Sponge pre-filters prevent fry, debris, and other material from being trapped in an aquarium filter intake and increase filter intake depth
ATI Hydro Sponge Filters
ATI Hydro Sponge Aquarium Filters for bio and mechanical aquarium filtration. New Hydrosponge Pro filter for high bio load tanks.
Also replacement sponges and parts for Hydro Sponge
SunSun Premium Economy Aquarium HOB Filter
The SunSun HBL-501 & 701 combines Dual (701) cartridges AND Dual (701) Bio Sponges for reliability and a price that beats many filters of half the capacity and double the price
Fluidized Bed Aquarium Filter
The TMC Premium Fluidized Sand Bed Aquarium Filters, Superior Design when compared to Lifeguard.
Unsurpassed Bio Filtration that NO Canister filter can beat. A great addition/compliment to your canister filter!
Click below for our vinyl aquarium tubing page: Tubing, Hose Clamps
The SunSun utilizes a tubing metric tubing size that is very close to the 5/8 inch ID tubing we sell on this page linked to on the left (please note that the 750 Filter already has tubing included, you only would need to purchase extra for applications such as a UV Sterilizer where more tubing may be required) Drilled Canister Filter, Aquarium Installation
TIP: a little Petroleum Jelly between the trays helps keep them from getting stuck together during normal operation.
Cleaning
Cleaning/Changing Impeller:
Tips
*Make sure protective cap is ALWAYS on the UV Switch when installing or servicing the filter.
Water spilled on this switch can cause an electrical short. Make sure to dry thoroughly if water is spilled into the switch.
*RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS to use with your Canister Filter:
• Ceramic Bio Media for aerobic biological filtration (ammonia/nitrite removal)
• Bio Lif Natural Indian almond leaf for water softening of water (specifically for Amazon River fish, gouramis, bettas, etc.)
• Premium Pelletized Carbon packets for your SunSun or other filters
Volcanic rock
Volcanic Rock also makes an excellent media for canister filter, aids in nitrate removal as well as ammonia/nitrite (please click the picture for more information and for the page to purchase this on).
Ammo Carb, Coarse & Fine Filter Pads, more
For "Cut to Fit" replacement Fine and coarse filter pads for the SunSun, AquaTop, Via Aqua, etc. Filters.
AmmoCarb also be used in this filter (freshwater only).
A few other useful Filter Media Product Suggestions for your Canister Filter SeaChem Matrix (each SunSun Basket holds 1000 mL to 1500mL of Matrix) SeaChem Purigen
We still sell parts for the excellent Via Aqua 650/750 Filters (when available), however due to increasing prices, and poor business management we are no longer selling Via Aqua's Canister Filters.
We are now selling the SunSun Canister Filter Systems which are an excellent "Value" aquarium filter system as per our early testing.
The SunSun is the continuation of American (USA ) Designed/Engineered Aquarium Products that are built in Asia.
SunSuns's external 3-4 stage canister has 3 flexible media trays (4 for CF500) that allow you to add the filtration media of your choice. Included in the SunSun Canister Filters is filter fiber, activated carbon, and volcanic rock.
• All SunSun Canister Filters include a Simple Spade Valve, we also sell separately a premium Ball Valve for better flow control if desired (this is NOT offered by other sellers of this filter!).
• We include a Return Elbow & Intake Stem that we strengthen and retrofit with an outer layer of 5/8" & 3/4" vinyl tubing to provide the best possible canister filters for our customer (we make this improvement based on our use of this filter).
If you purchase your SunSun Canister Filter elsewhere (or related Canister Filters commonly sold under other brand names), you will NOT get this improvement and thus be purchasing an inferior filter (this along with added filter material, & pre-testing makes our price near cost)!

• Self Priming Pump
• Simple Spade Valve that cuts water flow to disconnect for cleaning, resulting no water spills
• Vastly superior to Jebo & other economy canister filters
• Compact design
• 9 Watt Internal UV Sterilizer included As with ANY Canister Filter with a “built in” UV Sterilizer, these generally are AT best for green or cloudy water and not for level 1 or 2 Sterilization, despite many claims (see Aquarium UV Sterilization); In blunt honesty, do not purchase this Filter or any other similar filter based on this feature, purchase based on its merits of a being an good filter for the price!
That said this canister filter has the best flow design around the UV Lamp of any we have inspected for use in our sister aquarium maintenance company.
