Versatile aquarium filter converts from continuous duty to water-polishing mode
The only filter of its kind with a patented design, self-priming, bottom-mounted motor, the Magnum Canister Filter provides the ultimate in easy setup and restart capability. Magnum is two filters in one: it converts from continuous duty to water polishing, and all Magnums now come complete with a Carbon/Media Container and Water Polishing Micron Cartridge. Water enters the canister, surrounds the media, and flows through rather than around it. No bypass ensures total filtration. All Magnum canister filters we carry have a certified flow rate of 350 gph, making them the ideal choice for aquariums up to 100 gallons. 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
Magnum Canister Filters convert easily and quickly from continuous duty filtration to quick-clean water polishing... and back again. A Magnum silently does the heavy duty work of two complete filtration systems and delivers total water-to-media contact... no bypass. No-compromise technology and highest quality materials ensure unit strength, durability and trouble-free operation.
Magnum 350 PRO System
The 3-in-1 Magnum 350 PRO System filtration package delivers optimum mechanical, chemical, and patented BIO-Wheel PRO 60 classic wet/dry biological filtration.
Tips from our Techs Having an extra
O-ring around can be a lifesaver. The filter will not work without this simple part. Using
silicone lubricant on the O-ring will keep it supple, extending its life, and make it easier to get onto the canister lid.

Maintenance:
Proper filter maintenance begins with frequent visual inspections to ensure normal system operation and non-stressful conditions for fish. Additionally, every aquarist should plan to devote an average of 15 minutes per week to the performance of basic maintenance and needed adjustments. These requirements include monthly, 25% water changes and gravel cleaning, as well as regular (once a month, minimum) filter media replacement. Unusual occurrences – such as lack of water flow, excessive mechanical or water noise, cloudy and/or bad smelling water – require immediate attention.
*IMPORTANT: Because all water circulation in a canister system must first pass through the filter media, extra care must be taken to ensure that clogged media does not reduce the efficiency of the filter. Carbon needs changing each month – sooner if it is no longer effectively removing discoloration or odor from aquarium water.
NEVER use soap, abrasives or any other cleaning agent on or around filter or aquarium. Clean with water unless otherwise instructed. Never attempt to open the Motor Housing or submerged Motor Assembly.
Turn Motor Switch to "OFF." Close valves and disconnect. Remove canister.
Change Filter Media: CARBON/MEDIA CONTAINER Remove media and rinse container thoroughly. Refill container with Magnum Activated Carbon and rinse carbon thoroughly. Rinse or replace Rite-Size Sleeve.
MICRON CARTRIDGE Remove and clean cartridge – never brush or machine wash. Rinse off all visible dirt. Mix a solution of one part chlorine bleach to three parts water in a separate container. Immerse cartridge completely in solution and soak overnight. Rinse thoroughly until chlorine smell disappears.
Clean canister thoroughly, especially sump area.
Clean Impeller Assembly and inspect for wear and smooth rotation. If excess wear is noted, replace worn parts immediately.
Gently clean flat rubber gaskets with warm water only.
Wash O-ring seating area on canister and cover. Wet O-ring before installing.
Quiet, convenient canister filters are inconspicuously located under your aquarium. All the canister filters we offer are customizable, and can hold a large amount of media (mechanical, chemical, and biological) in varying combinations.
Whether you're setting up a larger aquarium or simply want to upgrade your existing filter, the versatile and reliable nature of a canister filter makes it a great choice. Use the following chart to determine which canister filter is right for you.
A canister filter is a sealed container filled with various filter media. The principle advantage of canister filters over power filters is their roomy media baskets which can be filled with a variety of filter media to create custom filtration.
