## Features

- NOTHING LIKE OLD SCHOOL: The Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter is air driven and utilizes an Air Pump (not included) to cycle crystal clear water throughout your aquarium, while keeping a crisp and neat look inside. This means there’s less “moving parts,” making for simplistic and easy maintenance. This filter is suitable for most 40 – 55 gallon aquariums.
- BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL, AND PHYSICAL FILTRATION: As air is pushed through the Air Stones and rises through the Lift Tubes, water is gently suctioned through gravel and the filter plates, allowing both air and water to pass through the Filt-a-Carb Activated Carbon Cartridges. When water continues to be drawn through, anaerobic bacteria collects and colonizes within the gravel and filter plates.
- ALSO AERATES YOUR TANK: Since the Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter is air driven through the use of Air Stones and an Air Pump (not included), it also aerates your tank. In essence, your aquarium is being filtered and aerated at the same time, though the same system. It’s a filter and bubbler in 1.
- ITEMS INCLUDED: The Clear-Free Premium Under Gravel Filter includes 4 Filter Plates, 4 Adjustable Lift Tubes, 4 Straight Airline Tubes, 9 Filter Plate Connecters, and 4 Replaceable Filt-a-Carb Activated Carbon Media Cartridges.
- MEASUREMENTS: Each Filter Plate Separately = 11.25” (W) x 11.25” (D) / Filter Plates Together = 45” (W) x 11.25” (D) / Each Lift Tube at Filter Plate Base = 13.25” – 16.5”

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hello! i have a 55 gallon tank. how does this filter work? does it come with everything i need? and if there is a video on it please send it. thanks**
A: Thank you for your question. This filter has a plastic filter plate which lies under the gravel of the tank. This plate allows water to flow freely under the gravel. Water is drawn through the gravel and cleaned removing bateria and debris. In order for this air filter to work properly you will need an air pump as well as airline tubing. We like the Air Pod Pump B003DHYB52 and B0002563MW for air tubing. We don't have a video at this time but will have one soon.

**Q: Can i configure this to fit a container that is 12.5" x 12.5"? Can experts recommend something better if not?**
A: The 40/55 comes with four plates. Each plate has two tube attachments.  One plate would fill a 12.5".  Even if it were a little big you could score it (its plastic) and make it fit.

**Q: Is it 11.5' square as in the decription or 13" as in the picture?**
A: If you're getting it for a 55 gal aquarium the best I can tell you without tearing mine up out of my tank is that its perfect for the 55g , I've got them in my 10g , 39g bow front , 55g , and one in my 60g acrylic.

**Q: What size should i get gor a 36 gallon tank**
A: I have a 55 gallon tank and I used all the supplies flooring pieces, I think using this you may only require 3 of the flooring pieces possibly two if it’s a taller tank and not a show tank
