Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I choose the best aquarium filter turnover rate for a large planted tank?
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 75-gallon aquarium benefits most from a canister filter rated around 300 to 350 GPH, ensuring adequate circulation, mechanical filtration, and CO2 distribution across dense plant growth.

2. What makes the Aquario Neo Flow Lily Pipes better than standard plastic intake/outflow tubes?
Aquario Neo Flow pipes are constructed from flexible, shatterproof PETG PET polymer rather than fragile glass or soft acrylic. They are completely crush-resistant, easily cut to custom lengths, and support a wide range of modular attachments like surface skimmers and CO2 diffusers directly on the outlet line.

3. How can I make my canister filter intake safe for dwarf shrimp and small fish?
Slipping a pre-filter sponge or fine stainless steel mesh guard over the lower inlet tube stops tiny Caridina or Neocaridina shrimp, fry, and small snails from entering the suction hose, keeping livestock completely protected without restricting water turnover.

4. How should I arrange my biological and mechanical filter media in the Delta 120 caddy?
Layer coarse sponge pads in the bottom tray to trap heavy particulate debris before it reaches your biological media. Fill the upper trays with the included Aquario Neo Media Pure biological matrix to foster nitrifying bacteria colonies, placing fine polishing pads or specialty chemical resin media in the top tray for final water clarity.

Reviews

Great filter

"Purchase experience and shipping were great, I absolutely love this filter so far. It’s been running for close to a few weeks now, it’s quiet, flow is outstanding (using this on a 55 gallon), and it looks great. Using the UNS inline diffuser as well, both were easy to set up."

Ryan M. (5/5)

Best filter I have ever had!

"I wanted the best filter for an axolotl. I bought the 120 for a 40 gallon breaker to make sure I can give it the best water quality I can give it. I love everything about this filter. It is super quiet, easy to setup and does a great job cleaning the water. I’m sure the axolotl is going to be very happy."

Theresa R. (5/5)

Amazing Product

UNS Delta 120 Filter

"This looks like a very high-quality filter. I haven’t used it yet because I bought it as a back up filter but I have taken it apart and looked at it. It looks very high-quality. everything by UNS is right on the money."

Frank J. (5/5)

Great filter

"Easy setup and thank looks great and clean."

Hank M. (5/5)

Cleans Easily And Easy To Clean

"I’ve had one (with the original UNS parts) for a few months and it keeps the tank plenty clean, and the outlet bar it came with is very appreciated. I will say, I ordered the V2 and it came with the original parts? I’m not complaining though, it’s already set up in my second aquarium and I’m expecting the same clarity as soon as it settles in."

Avram (5/5)

Newer product is loud

"I write this as the owner of three other UNS filters. However I think this is definitely the last time I purchase one. They're sleek and good looking. I'm a little bummed to have bought right before they started to come with the clear pipes, especially because the plastic ubend on my 90 started leaking recently, but that's not the reason for my rating. My older two are very quiet. The two recent UNS filters are loud and yes, I've trouble-shooted every which way. Luckily I have the cabinet that helps muffle but it just makes too much noise. I had to swap it out of my open bottom stand for another brand. This is on UNS, not Buceplant. Paying the restocking fee and return shipping is just not worth it for me so I'll simply hang on to it, but if you're looking for something quiet this canister is no longer it."

Q&A

Will the Lilly pipes fit over a normal 75 gallon Seapora tank. Thank you
Hi John, Thank you for your question. Since the Seapora 75-gallon tank are framed tank, the Aquario Neo Flow Lily Pipe will not work with this tank as the Lily Pipes are designed to work on a rimless tank and the holder that will secure the Pipes in place will not fit the rim of the tank. Best Regards, -Team Buce Plant
