Some tanks simply have no interior space to give up – every litre is spoken for by fish, plants and hardscape. The HOB-500 solves that by living outside the glass: the housing hangs on the rim, freeing the whole tank while still delivering 500 L/H of filtration to fresh or salt water aquariums of up to 250 litres. Flow can be turned down or up to match the aquarium it is working on.

How it works

A vertical plastic inlet tube lifts water from the tank into a large filter chamber. Inside, it passes through a set of media-filled baskets that between them provide mechanical, biological and chemical filtration (media for the baskets is sold separately). Treated water then rejoins the aquarium through either the nozzle outlet or the spray bar, whichever you fit.

Brian L. ★★★★★

The hang-on design freed up so much space inside my tank—my fish finally have room to swim without bumping into equipment. Setup took about five minutes, and it runs almost silently with no rattling. Exactly what I needed for a fully planted aquarium.

Brian ★★★★★

I was worried about the flow rate, but the 500L/H pump handles my 75-liter tank perfectly—no dead spots. The filter media tray slides out easily for cleaning, which is a nice touch. Really glad I switched to this external unit.

James ★★★★★

The hang-on design freed up so much space inside my tank that I could finally add more plants without worrying about the filter getting in the way. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet the pump runs compared to my old internal filter. It's already made a noticeable difference in water clarity aft
