## Long description

sera Fil Bioactive 400 with UV Lamp is an external canister filter designed for mechanical, biological and chemical filtration in freshwater and tropical aquariums. The unit integrates a UV lamp to reduce free-floating pathogens and improve water clarity while providing reliable water circulation and multi-stage filtration. The system is intended for medium-sized aquariums that require efficient debris removal, biological nitrification support and additional hygiene control through ultraviolet treatment.
Advantages
The filter combines mechanical sponging, biological filter media and chemical filtration options in a single external housing, enabling flexible media arrangement and maintenance access. An integrated UV lamp offers adjunct pathogen control, helping to limit algae blooms and suspended microorganisms without altering water chemistry. The canister design conserves internal aquarium space and uses an adjustable flow control to match various stocking levels and plant or fish requirements.

How to use
Install the canister outside the aquarium on a stable surface, connect intake and outlet hoses to the corresponding fittings and prime according to the manufacturer's priming procedure before first start-up. Arrange filter media in the supplied baskets according to desired mechanical, biological and chemical order, ensuring sponge or coarse media is positioned first to capture debris. Start the pump and adjust the flow to the required rate for the aquarium volume and livestock. Replace worn mechanical media and monitor biological media health during routine maintenance. Follow safety instructions when handling and replacing the UV lamp; switch off power and allow the lamp to cool before servicing.
Usage recommendations
Use a combination of mechanical and biological media for regular operation, and reserve chemical media for specific needs such as phosphate or medicinal removal.
