SF Series 3-in-1 External Canister Filter

Keep your aquarium water clean, clear, and healthy with the Infinity & Beyond Aquatics SF Series External Canister Filters. Designed for dependable performance in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, each model combines powerful circulation with customizable, multi-stage filtration.

Choose from five flow-rate options, available with or without a built-in 9-watt UV sterilizer.

Three-Stage Aquarium Filtration

Each SF Series canister filter supports three essential types of filtration:

Mechanical Filtration: Captures uneaten food, waste, dirt, and suspended debris.
Biological Filtration: Provides space for beneficial bacteria that help maintain a stable aquarium ecosystem.
Chemical Filtration: Helps remove odors, discoloration, and dissolved impurities when used with the appropriate filter media.

Standard and UV Models

Standard models provide reliable three-stage filtration without a UV lamp.

UV models include a built-in 9-watt UV sterilizer that helps control free-floating algae and microorganisms as water passes through the filter. This can improve water clarity and reduce the conditions that contribute to green or cloudy aquarium water.
