Purchase options and add-ons

  • QUIET & EFFICIENT: The Cascade 455 Submersible Filter quietly delivers crystal clear water throughout the aquarium. The filter’s unique design allows it to unobtrusively utilize unused corner space. Furthermore, it cycles water at 120 gallons per hour (GPH) for fish tanks up to 20 gallons in size.
  • FULLY SUBMERSIBLE: The Cascade 455 utilizes 2 filter media chambers, and comes with filter media: 1 Bag of Activated Carbon, and 1 Bio-Sponge. In addition to optimizing the colonization of anaerobic bacteria, this filter traps floating particulate matter, removes harmful chemicals and toxins, clears up discolorations, and reduces foul odors from your aquarium’s water.
  • ACCOMMODATING: The adjustable flow knob allows for increased or decreased water flow at will, which is extremely helpful during feeding times, or use it as needed. This filter also features a directional flow nozzle that allows you to move the direction of waterflow within your aquarium. Furthermore, this unit utilizes 6 suction cups to mount inside one of your tank’s corners.
  • SPRAY BAR: In addition to the adjustable flow knob and directional flow nozzle, the Cascade 455 also includes an optional spray bar. The spray bar assembly allows you to either distribute water over the surface, or to simply keep things submerged within your aquarium by using the elbow joint.
  • ITEMS INCLUDED: Cascade 455 Filter, 2 Media Chambers, 1 Spray Bar Assembly, 1 Bag of Activated Carbon, 1 Bio-Sponge, and 1 Electric Power Cord.

Im a fan of there cascade 300 pump/filter , its worked out great for me. So I figured get this step up for a 20G I just got. (brand loyal ;}. Its much bigger than I thought. Like another reviewer stated there are water flow slits that allow water through its sides into the "Blue plastic", BUT the included sponge is cut to size sooooo it may allow water through it, but the sponge fill the cavity so its still passing and filtering water through most of the Sponge. I'll most likely be changing out the media and modding mine a bit its under 20$. As stated before Ive had good results with the 300. **Update: both of these have been great and work nonstop 24/7, id buy them again.**
