Aquatop Forza Canister Filter

The Aquatop Forza canister filter delivers powerful multi-stage filtration with a built-in UV sterilizer, so your water stays clear and your fish stay healthy on tanks from 60 up to 175 gallons. Every model runs mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration in one sealed canister and adds UV sterilization to knock down free-floating algae and waterborne microbes. A patented one-pump EZ Prime button starts the siphon with a single push, no messy manual priming. It works on both freshwater and saltwater setups.
