The UNS Blitz Stainless Steel Filter sets new standards in aquarium water purification with its premium-grade stainless steel construction, ensuring unmatched durability and corrosion resistance. A reliable and enduring filtration solution, the Blitz handles both mechanical and biological filtration, optimizing water flow for maximum filtration efficiency. Efficient water circulation prevents stagnation and dead spots, promoting a well-circulated and oxygen-rich environment for fish and aquatic plants.
Its mechanical filtration efficiently removes debris and impurities, improving water clarity and enhancing the visual impact of your aquascape. In biological filtration, the Blitz’s innovative structure fosters beneficial nitrifying bacteria growth, converting harmful ammonia and nitrites into less toxic nitrates that can be safely tolerated by livestock. UNS Blitz is also available in a smaller 6 oz. size.
