This air-driven system works with an compatible air pump (not included) to circulate crystal-clear water while maintaining a neat interior look. With fewer moving parts, the design supports straightforward maintenance and dependable operation, helping keep your small tank looking clean and balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater is gently drawn through the gravel and up through two filter plates. It then passes through Filt-a-Carb Activated Carbon Cartridges for carbon media, while air stones and lift tubes promote a steady flow. The process fosters a natural filtration cycle as beneficial bacteria establish themselves in the gravel and filter plates. The result is a calm, steady swirl of water that supports both filtration and aeration in one compact package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits you may notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, space-saving design suited for most 10-gallon tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAir-driven filtration paired with aeration for gentle water movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBiological, chemical, and physical filtration in a single system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-maintenance setup with fewer moving parts for easier upkeep\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafe for freshwater and saltwater setups when used with an air pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Filter Plates (color may vary)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Adjustable Lift Tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Straight Airline Tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 Filter Plate Connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Replaceable Filt-a-Carb Activated Carbon Media Cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasurements and setup notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach filter plate measures 9.5 inches by 9.5 inches; together they span 19 inches in width.
