DEGGOX U-V Aquarium Filter for 30-45 Gallon Tanks | HOB, 170GPH, Surface Skimmer

Overview

The DEGGOX U-V Aquarium Filter is a compact Hang On Back (HOB) unit designed for 30-45 gallon tanks. It combines a powerful 170 GPH pump with a built-in UV lamp to support clearer water alongside traditional filtration. The result is a versatile solution for freshwater and light saltwater setups where space is at a premium and simplicity matters.

Six-stage filtration for clearer, healthier water

This model uses six filtration stages to address common aquarium challenges. The stages include mechanical, biological, UV, chemical, an additional biological stage, and a specialty filter pad. Together, they work to reduce visible particulates, support beneficial bacteria, and help maintain water quality without demanding complex maintenance.

• Mechanical filtration captures debris and particles for clearer water
• Biological filtration supports beneficial bacteria for a stable cycle
• UV filtration adds an extra layer of water treatment
• Chemical filtration helps remove dissolved compounds for improved clarity
• Additional biological stage provides redundancy and enhanced filtration capacity
• Specialty filter pad targets specific contaminants and keeps surface areas clean

Smart, user-friendly design

The filter is submerged in the aquarium, which helps prevent priming issues after power interruptions. A spare rotor is included to extend the life of the unit, and the system supports replaceable UV lamps and cartridges to keep operation smooth over time.

Real-world use cases

Ideal for 30- to 45-gallon tanks hosting fish or turtles, this unit also accommodates light saltwater applications. The surface skimmer helps pull away surface oils for a cleaner top layer, while the adjustable flow knob lets you dial in water movement to suit your inhabitants and décor.
