Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the UNS Delta Canister Filter, drawn from its specs.

What size tank is the UNS Delta Canister Filter good for?

Using the 5 to 12 times turnover rule for planted tanks: Delta 30 (454 L/h, suits roughly 38–91 L); Delta 60 (568 L/h, suits roughly 47–114 L); Delta 90 (946 L/h, suits roughly 79–189 L); Delta 120 (1,325 L/h, suits roughly 110–265 L).
