Best for
Nano to mid-sized planted tanks where you want a quiet canister without paying BioMaster money.
Worth knowing
Media volume is modest on the 60 and 100, so they need cleaning more often than bigger canisters.

- FiltoSmart 60 is small enough for a nano cabinet or beside the tank
- Self-venting start-up and shut-off valves for spill-free cleaning

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about the Oase FiltoSmart, drawn from its specs.
What size tank is the Oase FiltoSmart good for?
Using the 5 to 12 times turnover rule for planted tanks: 60 (300 L/h, suits roughly 25–60 L); 100 (600 L/h, suits roughly 50–120 L); 200 (800 L/h, suits roughly 67–160 L); 300 (1,000 L/h, suits roughly 83–200 L); 100 Thermo (600 L/h, suits roughly 50–120 L); 200 Thermo (800 L/h, suits roughly 67–160 L); 300 Thermo (1,000 L/h, suits roughly 83–200 L). The maker rates the range for tanks up to 300 L. Real flow with media and hoses is lower than the rated figure, so pick the bigger model if you are between sizes.
