BioMaster & Thermo External Filters

Description

BioMaster and BioMaster Thermo external filters by Oase are designed for large aquariums. This filter has to option to integrate an Oase HeatUp heater neatly within the filter unit.

We sell six models in this range:

• BioMaster 350
• BioMaster Thermo 350
• BioMaster 600
• BioMaster Thermo 600
• BioMaster 850
• BioMaster Thermo 850

The largest of these filters is the BioMaster 850. It will filter aquariums of up to 850 litres. If you choose the option of adding a heater (making it a ‘Thermo’), it will also heat up to 850 litres of water.

Aquariums of over 850 litres need more external filters to get optimum filtration. Please feel free to get in contact with us if you would like any help to work out how much filtration to use.

More space for your fish

The beauty of BioMaster & Thermo external filters is that they can be hidden away in your aquarium cabinet. All you will see in the fish tank is one pipe in and one pipe out. This gives your fish more swimming space, and you undisturbed views of their underwater world. Having an external filter also gives your tank slightly more water volume and much more filtration capacity.

Integrated heater

This filter is an even better design than most, because it can house an aquarium heater. This means there’s even less aquarium equipment visible in your tank. Having your heater installed into the filter unit also protects the heater. Leaving it less exposed to the possibility of knocks or falling rocks or even of running dry.

If you click ‘yes’ to a heater, this filter will come with an Oase HeatUp heater installed. If you choose ‘no’ to the heater, a HeatUp can be added later on, and fits neatly into the filter. See below for details of the heater wattage needed. HeatUp by Oase is the only recommended heater for use with this filter.

Oase HeatUp heaters have internal thermostats in order to self regulate to the temperature that you set them to. They are fully controllable so that you can choose the ideal temperature for your tropical fish. Because the heater is situated within the filter, it works more efficiently. This is because there is a constant flow of aquarium water.

Pre-filter module

Another thing that we love about BioMaster & Thermo external filters is the pre-filter. It saves you time and effort and keeps the main filter cleaner for longer. You may find this even saves you money on frequent filter media changes. No more bothersome dismantling of the filter – simply remove the pre-filter module, rinse and replace.

Easy maintenance

When you do want to get into the main filter body it is easy. There is a shut off mechanism to prevent unwanted water leakage when you are carrying out maintenance. The unit has sturdy clips on all four sides. Inside there is a stacked tray system for the filter media to sit in. It comes with all the filtration that you need to get started but the filter is versatile should you wish to add other media like phosphate remover.

Complete quick start set

Includes filter media, hoses, adaptors, flow regulator, suction and discharge pipe as well as water diffuser. The water flow rate can be adjusted on the inflow and outflow adaptor.

Economical

The BioMaster pump is extremely quiet and energy efficient.

Practical

On the top of the BioMaster & Thermo external filters there is a blue venting button. This is for effective water suction to get the filter started quickly and easily during installation and after cleaning.

Clear & healthy aquarium water

The high surface area volume of the filter foams and biological media ensure effective filtration. The pre-filter increases the lifespan of the biological media.

Your aquarium’s life support system

When aquarium foam has a high surface area, more ‘friendly’ bacteria are able to colonise. This filter bacteria is known as denitrifying bacteria. It is important to have a healthy population growing in your filter as it helps to break down fish waste.

Run an aquarium filter 24 hours a day to keep the water quality balanced for your aquatic animals.

In order to keep you bacteria colony healthy, remember not to clean your sponges with tap water. Instead, take a small bucket of water out of the tank and gently squeeze your filter sponges in this bucket of water to remove excess waste. When topping up your tank afterwards it is important to use dechlorinator. Chlorine in tap water is designed to kill off bacteria and that’s the last thing we want to do to our aquarium filters!
