Halo Professional High Efficiency External Filter for Aquariums

The HALO external filter by AQPET represents one of the most advanced and professional solutions in the aquarium filtration market. This complete, ready-to-use system is designed to meet the needs of enthusiasts and experienced aquarists looking for high performance, ease of use, and maximum operational safety—both in freshwater and marine aquariums.

Three-Basket Filtration System – Comprehensive Water Treatment for a Stable and Crystal-Clear Environment

At the heart of the HALO filter is its multi-stage filtration system, featuring separate baskets for mechanical and biological filtration media:

• The first mechanical stage traps suspended particles, debris, sediment, and visible organic waste, immediately improving water clarity.

• The second biological stage promotes the colonization of nitrifying bacteria on ceramic rings or high-porosity media, essential for the breakdown of nitrogenous waste (ammonia and nitrites), supporting the nitrogen cycle.

• The remaining customizable baskets can be filled with additional materials like activated carbon, resins, or zeolite to refine filtration based on the tank’s specific needs.

Each basket is independently removable, making routine maintenance clean and efficient while minimizing filter downtime.

Ceramic Rotor – Long-Lasting Performance and Exceptional Quiet Operation

A key technical feature of the HALO filter is its next-generation ceramic rotor, which ensures:

• Ultra-quiet operation, ideal for use in homes, offices, or even night-time environments;

• Low wear over time, due to high resistance to friction and corrosion compared to metal rotors;

• Longer motor life and improved overall energy efficiency.

The use of ceramic reduces vibrations, noise, and overheating, enhancing the durability and reliability of the entire system.

Adjustable Flow Rate and Powerful Circulation – Keep Water Moving and Healthy

With 16 mm inlet and outlet tubing, the HALO filter guarantees a wide and consistent water flow that:

• Evenly circulates water throughout the tank, improving gas exchange and temperature distribution;

• Prevents stagnant areas, promoting a healthier environment for all aquarium inhabitants;

• Rapidly removes suspended waste, preventing buildup and enhancing visual clarity.

Flow control valves allow precise flow adjustment, making HALO adaptable to a wide range of layouts (planted, community, cichlid, reef, etc.), ensuring optimal movement according to species needs.

Technical Innovation and Electronic Protection – Touch Start and Overheat Protection System

HALO incorporates advanced features that make it a next-generation product, designed for practical and safe use:

• The built-in overheat protection system constantly monitors motor temperature, preventing damage caused by prolonged use, blockages, or lack of water;

• The touch-start button ensures quick and intuitive startup, eliminating traditional mechanical switches prone to wear and simplifying post-maintenance restart.

These features make HALO a smart and safe device, perfect for aquarists seeking a professional external filter that blends technology with ease of use.

Easy Installation, User-Friendly Operation, and Quick Maintenance

HALO comes complete with all components required for setup: tubing, connectors, valves, and filter media are included. The initial configuration can be completed in minutes—even by beginners.

Its compact design allows placement in any cabinet or next to the tank, even in tight spaces. The basket system offers immediate access to media for fast, clean maintenance without leaks.
