MANTIS Hydrus 15 — Adjustable circulation for your aquarium
The Hydrus uses a compact pump and adjustable controller to provide in-tank water movement for marine or freshwater aquariums.
François Neo’s recommendation
I plan circulation around the aquarium’s length, aquascape and coral placement. Start with a moderate setting, observe how the animals respond and adjust placement to keep waste moving toward the filtration. Allow access to remove and clean the pump as the reef grows.
