The Dophin C500 Canister Filter is a compact yet powerful external aquarium filtration system designed to keep your aquarium water crystal clear, stable, and healthy. With a flow rate of 1130 litres per hour, this model is ideal for aquariums up to 120 litres, providing professional-grade mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration for both freshwater and saltwater tanks.

Built with high-quality Dophin engineering, the C500 features an energy-efficient 12W motor, ensuring strong water circulation with minimal electricity use and ultra-quiet operation. Its streamlined canister design maximizes internal space for optimal water flow through all media layers, enhancing the efficiency of filtration and ensuring clean water reaches every corner of your aquarium.

The Dophin C500 Canister Filter is equipped with a dual-layer tray system containing activated carbon, black sponge, and fine white wool, offering a balanced filtration process.
