UNS Delta Series Sizing Guide
The UNS Delta canister filter lineup offers targeted filtration across all tank sizes. Use this guide to select the right model for your aquascape:
1. How do I choose the best aquarium filter turnover rate for my tank size? A reliable rule of thumb for selecting a filter for aquariums is aiming for a turnover rate of 4 to 5 times your total tank volume per hour. For instance, a 12 to 15-gallon nano aquarium performs best with an aquarium filter rated around 50 to 75 GPH to ensure thorough mechanical and biological filtration without blowing delicate livestock around.
2. What are the advantages of Aquario Neo Flow PETG Lily Pipes over standard acrylic or glass pipes? Aquario Neo Flow pipes are made from high-durability PETG polymer, making them completely shatterproof and crush-resistant unlike delicate glass lily pipes. They can easily be trimmed to fit custom tank depths and seamlessly accept modular attachments like surface skimmers and CO2 diffusers.
3. How can I protect baby dwarf shrimp and fry from getting pulled into the filter? Slipping a fine pre-filter sponge or mesh intake guard directly over the lower Aquario Neo Flow intake screen prevents newly hatched shrimp and small fry from entering the suction line, keeping livestock safe while catching large debris before it clogs your internal caddy media.
4. How should I arrange my biological and mechanical filter media in the Delta 30 caddy? Layer coarse sponge pads in the lower tray to catch heavy particulate matter before it reaches your biological media. Fill the upper media tray with the included Aquario Neo Media Pure biological matrix to support beneficial nitrifying bacteria, placing fine polishing pads or chemical media at the top stage for crystal-clear clarity.

Reviews
"The canister filter is quality, but UNS thinks calling themselves premier, or high end, allows them to upsell everything. On tanks you need to buy the lids or media towers seperately. On these canister filters they used to provide a comprehensive parts kit (look up older UNS Delta unboxing videos), now you must pay extra. They provide the bare minimum of tubing. If you want 5 stars then provide 5 star products."

UNS CANISTER
"Great flow, easy set up, AMAZING quality and beautiful design!"
— Taylor R. (5/5)
Fantastic Nano filter
"Excellent filter for a small aquarium. Easy to set up, the filter material was included and already in the canister correctly. Filter itself looks great and the pipes are nearly invisible in the tank. Nothing visually distracting, especially nice with a rimless tank. Would definitely purchase again and will likely purchase the larger size for my next tank"
— Erin S. (5/5)
NOISE
"I can still hear noise from the fan"
— Minh T. (3/5)
Perfect filter
"Very strong outflow and does a great job filtering. Even comes with lily pipes which is a plus"
— Andres T. (5/5)
Delta 30 Filter
"Item was delivered with missing parts BUT the support team was quick to respond and get them to me. Very excited to use this for my 15 gal planted aquarium and I enjoy its compact size."
— Jacob H. (5/5)
Strong Flow
"Very strong flow. It is mostly quiet but it does have a slight rattle. Setup for the pump itself was easy, but more clear instructions on how to attack the Lily pipes and connect everything would have been helpful."
— DAVID C. (4/5)
Quiet and Efficient
"After a power surge cooked my HOB, I decided to take the jump and switch to a canister filter. I appreciate the variety chemical, biological, and mechanical filtration included. The filter is incredibly quiet and efficient. My only issue was the tubing included was too short, created a lot of kinks, and made set up difficult. I went over to my LSF and bought 10' of 1/2" tubing, 5' for intake and outflow, and found it worked so much better for my tank. Other than that, the Aquario Neo Flow Lily Pipes make the system look sleek and professional. I will be repurchasing for my other tanks!"
— Rachel M. (4/5)

Hi Angela, Thank you for your question! The Delta 30 Canister Filter includes with all the necessary tubing for setup. Please reach out to support@buceplant.com with any additional questions. Best regards, Team Buce Plant
Are these Delta series filters self priming? Meaning if my power goes out and comes back on when I'm not home, is it going to burn out the motor trying to run or will it start back up and run normally on its own?
Hi Megan, thank you for your question. The UNS Delta filters are not equipped with a self-priming feature. In the event of a power outage, the filter will not automatically restart on its own. Without manual priming, the motor may not start back up and run normally. To avoid any potential issues, it's recommended to manually prime the filter after a power outage before allowing it to resume normal operation. We hope this information helps. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please email us at support@buceplant.com. Thank you, Team Buce Plant
