Aquarium Power Filter, Hang on the Back (HOB)
Via Aqua VitaLife Filters with surface skimmer & Bio grid
Superior quality aquatic filter, compares to Whisper, yet more features with a lower price

     
  VitaLife Aquarium Power Filter


FEATURES:

• Removes Surface impurities with the exclusive Vita Life skimmer (Model 200 only)

• Nitrifying bacterial grid, no need to change. Vastly superior to filters with cartridges alone, easier to maintain healthy bio bacterial colonies than with bio wheels.

• Includes easy to change quick replacement filter cartridges.

• Simple Installation

Aquarium Power Filter with volcanic rock or live rock • Can be used in fresh or saltwater aquariums, although as with ANY Power filter, I recommend switching out the bio grid or similar with live rock crumbles or volcanic rock for de-nitrification (nitrate removal)

*Please click on the picture to the left (& other pictures as well) to enlarge the view of a VitaLife filter with volcanic rock in place of the bio grid for marine aquarium use (adding the rock to a nylon filter bag is recommended to prevent debris from entering the impeller well inside the filter).

• Adjustable flow control

• Quiet and efficient, proven Via Aqua reliability. Superior in performance and price than most competitors including Aqua Clear and Whisper.

• Durable high quality filter cartridges are easily power rinsed and do not fall apart after rinsing, unlike most HOB cartridges such as the Whisper, making these cartridges actually a better buy than the bio bag since I have reused them over many times before disposing of them

• Model 200 for use in aquariums up to 40 gallons (or larger when used with other filters such as a Hydro Sponge #3 or #5 regular or PRO, or even a second VitaLife M200)

• Compares favorably with the excellent Whisper EX45 Power Filter, except a much lower price, a surface skimmer that the Whisper does NOT have, and not all the Hype. Superior to comparable sized Penguin Filters!
Quite bluntly, there is not better HOB filter for the price when compared feature to feature and gph capacity!

• Even though the VitaLife is only available in a size to fit up to a 45 gallon aquarium, when combined with a Hydro Sponge filter or the unfortunately not too well known ReSun BF200 Bio Wet/Dry internal filter, this is a combination that literally blows filters such as the Emperor 400 “out of the water” (especially as to bio filtration). See the link below for BF100-200
