TARARIUM Aquarium Filter for 37.9–170 L Tanks, 158 GPH with UV Light

The TARARIUM Small Aquarium Filter is an internal filter for freshwater and saltwater tanks, combining 158 GPH (598 L/h) flow with two-stage filtration for tanks holding 10–45 gallons (38–170 L).

• 10–45-gallon tank capacity and 158 GPH flow — sized for a range of small home aquariums.
• Biochemical sponge filtration followed by 254 nm U-V light — combines two filtration stages in one unit.
• Designed to clear cloudy or green water in 3–7 days — larger tanks may take longer.
• Separate pump and U-V light switches — run the filter without the U-V light when preferred.
• U-V light can be checked from outside the unit — see whether it is on without opening the filter.
• For freshwater and saltwater aquariums, including betta and turtle tanks — supports several aquarium setups.

Green or cloudy aquarium water can affect the look of a tank and may come with an unpleasant smell. This internal filter brings mechanical-style sponge filtration and U-V light together, with controls that let you choose whether to use the light alongside the pump.

How does the TARARIUM filter help with green or cloudy water?

The filter uses a biochemical sponge as its first stage and 254 nm U-V light as its second stage. It is designed to make cloudy or green water crystal clear in 3–7 days, with more time potentially needed for larger tanks. By addressing green water, it can also help reduce associated unpleasant aquarium smells and the number of water changes.

• The two filtration stages are housed in one internal aquarium filter.
• Reduced unpleasant smell and fewer water changes are intended benefits of its green-water filtration.

Which aquariums is the TARARIUM filter made for?

It is designed for aquariums within its 10–45-gallon capacity range, including freshwater and saltwater tanks. The stated uses include betta fish tanks and turtle tanks, while the 158 GPH pump provides water flow through the filter.

• Suitable aquarium types include freshwater and saltwater setups.
• Named tank uses include betta and turtle aquariums.

Can I use the TARARIUM filter without its U-V light?

Yes. The pump and U-V light have separate switches, so you can keep the filter function running while switching off the light. The light’s status can be checked from outside the unit, without taking the filter apart.

• Choose whether the U-V light is on independently of the pump.
• Check the light from outside the filter rather than disassembling the unit.

The TARARIUM Small Aquarium Filter suits aquarium keepers who want an internal filter for a 10–45-gallon freshwater or saltwater tank, including betta and turtle setups. Its sponge-and-U-V design, independent light control, and 158 GPH flow make it a fit for buyers seeking filtration with an optional U-V stage.
