Ceramic Rings, or Bio-Balls (each sold separately), you’ll achieve
superior filtration and crystal clear aquarium water. The CF-500UVMKII
Canister Filter has two convenient Priming options that eliminate the
need for manual siphoning! Say good bye to a mouth full of aquarium
water!!!
How Does the CF-500UVMKII Canister Filter Work?
Unfiltered
aquarium water enters the CF MKII Series Canister Filter and passes by
the U.V. Sterilizing Bulb flowing down the stack of vertical cylinder
cutouts to the bottom of the CF MKII Filter. Then water is pushed up
through the filtration media compartments; the bottom compartment first,
the middle compartment second, and the top compartment third. The
filtered aquarium water then returns from the CF MKII Canister back into
the aquarium.
The CF-500UVMKII has a built-in 9-watt UV sterilizer to help kill algae spores and bacteria, promoting crystal clear water.
