Nu-clear 546 canister filter with 30 sq.ft. of pre-bagged biomatrix plus balls

Nu-Clear 500 Series Modular Canister Filters provide the ultimate in aquatic life support systems for consumer and commercial fresh and salt water aquariums, fountains, or ponds. With several mechanical, chemical and biological options to choose from, Nu-Clear filters have the flexibility to fit all your aquarium and pond applications. The different models may be used on their own or in combination with other models to provide the ultimate in filtration systems. The Nu-Clear 500 Series Modular Canister Filters are appropriate for aquariums 50 gallons and up and for ponds 300 gallons and up.

Nu-Clear filters feature heavy duty molded PVC construction with a stainless steel lid clamp for secure leak free operation and carry a 2 year guarantee. The filter bodies are approximately 13" wide and 12.5" tall (overall width with fittings is 15"). An additional clearance of 8" above the filter is required to remove the cartridge for cleaning. Nu-Clear filters have 1" FNPT inlet and outlet ports allowing for higher flow rates (up to 1,200 gallons/hr) than similar filters with 3/4" ports. All models come with adapters for 3/4" and 1" hose, stainless steel hose clamps, Teflon tape, and a drain valve.

MODEL 546
Perfect for applications where a biological filter outside the tank or pond is desired, or when existing biological filtration is not sufficient. The filter contains the high performance BIO-DISC Cartridge with over 7,760 pins to provide the ultimate in biological filtration. Incoming ammonia rich water is forced to flow between and around all the high surface area pins in each disc and into the center core to the outlet port. There are NO void areas as found between all "bio-balls". Although this filter resists trapping, we suggest using it after a 522 or 533 mechanical filter.

Tech Notes: Each stackable BIO-DISC contains over 3.3 square feet of surface area.
