Key Features

Versatile Filtration System

The hygger 108 hang-on-back canister filter is equipped with three types of filter media and water outlets, offering additional functional effects beyond basic filtration. This HOB filter includes a duckbill nozzle, shower pipe, and outlet oil skimmer, making it suitable for freshwater and saltwater tanks.

Rain Shower Pipe Outlet

This drip pipe water outlet provides oxygenation and adds an aesthetic element to your tank. The dispersed water flow impacts the water surface, increasing oxygen levels.

Duckbill Head Water Outlet

This creates waves at multiple angles, with adjustable water flow direction for precise control.

Straight Outlet

This provides powerful water circulation with a large flow, ensuring effective movement of water in the tank.

Enhanced Filtration Features

This hang-on filter’s motor pump is housed within the cover, minimizing disturbance to fish with its fully enclosed filter box and vibration-absorbing fixed buckle. This results in quiet operation. The anti-dry burning design extends the life of the all-copper motor water pump.

The filter automatically shuts off if the temperature becomes too high, preventing damage to the pump from dry running. The height of the inlet pipe is adjustable, and the pipe at the bottom is covered with a sponge to prevent small fish and shrimp from being sucked in during operation.

Filtration Principle

Once the power is activated, the integrated pump initiates a filtered water cycle. Initially, dirty water is drawn from the bottom of the water inlet pipe, with a portion of water containing an oil film directed to the oil skimmer port. The water then proceeds to the filter chamber, where it traverses through three stages of filter media, completing the filtration process. Finally, clean water is expelled through the outlet pipe.

Ease of Use

The filter housing is designed not to be submerged in the tank, thus preserving the aquarium’s space, with only a single water inlet pipe inside. This makes it ideal for tanks with limited space, as well as for landscaped tanks featuring aquatic plants and stones, or for tanks with fish sensitive to motor noise. The filter can be mounted on the tank, with an adjustable fixing clamp suitable for rimless tanks or rimmed tanks with glass thickness up to 0.7 inches (18mm). Alternatively, it can be placed beside the fish tank without needing to be hung (when the tank’s height is the same as the filter’s height).

Usage Tips

1. The back canister filter is not suitable for low-water turtle tanks.

2. Plastic bracing/trim on rimmed tanks may interfere with clamp opening—please measure total rim width before purchasing.

Note: If air is in the pipes, you may initially experience noisy water flow when using it for the first time. This is normal and will subside after the system has been running for a while, as the air is expelled from the system.
