What to confirm
- Mounts on the aquarium rim
- Requires clearance behind the tank
- Water level affects noise and restart behaviour
- Check cartridge and media availability for the exact model
Practical decision notes
Measure the rim, lid cut-out and wall clearance before buying. Confirm that the intake cannot trap small fish and that the return does not create excessive current. After a power interruption, verify that the chosen model reliably primes and resumes flow.
How we prepared this reference
We retained the established Leader Pet Supplies URL and checked the historical catalogue description against the named manufacturer or an authoritative Australian source where available. Product formulations, instructions, packaging and stock change, so the current label and manufacturer directions take priority.
When professional advice matters
Equipment and food choices cannot diagnose illness. Seek a veterinarian experienced with the relevant species for persistent appetite changes, pain, breathing difficulty, abnormal behaviour, weight loss or other health concerns. In an emergency, contact a veterinary service promptly.
