This 17.7″ x 11.8″ x 11″ aquarium is the middle size of the cascade aquarium set. What truly sets this aquarium apart from the others is the included back filter compartment. With a regular tank, a filter and heater can both be seen and distract from the beauty of the aquarium. Not in this case!

The back filter hides all of that within the footprint of the tank, all you can see from the front is a black background. The 2.5″ filter extends the entire back of the tank and is divided into 3 sections that direct the water flow.

The first chamber maintains a water level of 7″. This chamber is typically where you would put a heater. Water flows to the bottom of this first chamber and then is driven up to the top of the second chamber, where it then flows back down toward the bottom.

The second chamber is designed to house the filter media such as carbon, sponges, or floss, and its water level will maintain 5.5″. A sponge or pad cut to 2.25″ x 5.25″ will fit snugly in this chamber and prevent water bypass.

The third and final chamber is designed to fit most popular models of nano pumps between 100-300 GPH. The level in this chamber will fluctuate due to evaporation. With the filter components all contained in the back of the tank you can truly have your aquascape contained in a 17.7″ x 11.8″ footprint!
