Lifegard Hang-on Aquarium Filter HOF-40 (Up to 40 Gallon Tank)

The Lifegard Hang-On Filter HOF-30 features a slim design with a QUADRUPLE stage filtration system and FOUR replaceable cartridges. With a flow rate of 160 GPH, this filter provides optimal circulation for the recommended tank size, ensuring clean and healthy aquarium water.

The filter utilizes three stages of filtration, plus the added benefit of surface skimming to remove floating debris. The three-stage filter cartridge includes:

• Stage 1 – 40-micron removable sponge
• Stage 2 – Activated carbon
• Stage 3 – 20-micron filter pad

This filter efficiently traps large debris through the sponge, which can be cleaned periodically. The activated carbon removes harmful toxins and supports the growth of beneficial bacteria, creating a healthier environment. Finally, the fine filter pad handles smaller debris for superior water clarity.

Perfect for freshwater or saltwater aquariums, the Lifegard Hang-On Filter helps maintain clean, clear water for your aquatic pets to thrive. The surface skimmer removes floating debris or oil from dry food, promoting a cleaner environment. The first stage sponge filtration traps large debris like uneaten food, while the activated carbon works to remove toxins and control ammonia and phosphate buildup, supporting your aquarium’s biological balance.

A top control knob allows you to adjust the water flow for a gentler current, providing the ideal environment for sensitive fish and plants.
