 Tetratec Power Filters and Heating Capsules Tetratec Power Filters and Heating Capsules Tetratec Power Filters have the Living Filter Chamber which alternately fills and drains completely, submerging the three-dimensional Bio Foam media and then exposing it to oxygen-rich air. This allows increased contact time between the beneficial bacteria and the toxins in the water, ultimately resulting in healthy, biologically balanced water. Tetratec Heating Capsules are the world's first external aquarium heaters designed to be inserted directly into the Tetratec Power Filters to create an integrated heating and filtration system. It warms the water as it's pumped through the heating chamber, resulting in even heat with no "cold spots" and eliminating the potential for accidents that happen with traditional in-tank heaters. Tetratec Heating Capsules are for use only with Tetratec Power Filters and are NOT submersible. Heater and Power Filter are both UL and CUL approved.

I have used these on small and fish only tanks for the last
3 month. I am very sold on them.
I have a 29 gal mini reef with a pf300 and a Sea Clone Skimmer and it's loaded with bio-load. It does well and it gets the heater out of the tank. |
