Juwel Bioflow

The large internal box filter built into Juwel aquariums, also sold on its own. Water runs down through stacked sponges and media baskets, with space for a Juwel heater inside the housing and an Eccoflow pump on top. There are no hoses, so nothing can leak outside the tank.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the Juwel Bioflow, drawn from its specs.

What size tank is the Juwel Bioflow good for?

Using the 5 to 12 times turnover rule for planted tanks: M (600 L/h, suits roughly 50–120 L); L (1,000 L/h, suits roughly 83–200 L); XL (1,000 L/h, suits roughly 83–200 L). The maker rates the range for tanks up to 500 L. Real flow with media and hoses is lower than the rated figure, so pick the bigger model if you are between sizes.
