Oase BioPlus

A corner internal filter with a built-in, adjustable outlet nozzle instead of a separate spray bar. The media unit unclips and lifts out while the pump stays put, which makes cleaning quick. Foam plus a fine fleece stage gives decent polishing for its size.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the Oase BioPlus, drawn from its specs.

What size tank is the Oase BioPlus good for?

Using the 5 to 12 times turnover rule for planted tanks: 50 (350 L/h, suits roughly 29–70 L); 100 (500 L/h, suits roughly 42–100 L); 200 (650 L/h, suits roughly 54–130 L); 50 Thermo (350 L/h, suits roughly 29–70 L); 100 Thermo (500 L/h, suits roughly 42–100 L); 200 Thermo (650 L/h, suits roughly 54–130 L). The maker rates the range for tanks up to 200 L. Real flow with media and hoses is lower than the rated figure, so pick the bigger model if you are between sizes.
