Its energy-efficient needle-wheel pump pulls dissolved organics out of the water before they break down, so you get cleaner, clearer water, higher oxygen levels, and less nuisance algae. Whisper-quiet thanks to dual silencers and a suspended pump design, it is rated for saltwater and reef tanks up to 25 gallons.
