Loads of you asked about this external filter in one of my recent videos so I thought I would do a little video on it for you all.
It's a great filter that would fit any aquarium up to 60 litres. It has so much space for bio media or even changing it up for other types of filter media.

Alongside your fish knowledge and aquascape talent, you also have so much experience with equipment preferences when it comes to what piece of kit an aquascape might require. Seeing how you approach the technical and equipment-focused considerations of an aquascape helps amateurs like me so much. Your experienced opinion on fish & supporting equipment is great to see, alongside the great aquascape inspiration.

I love Oase. I have the biomaster 350 thermo. Very well built, very effective filter. Love the prefilter and the heater, keeps clutter out of the tank. On Oase filters, if the part is coloured blue, it moves.

@madhatterjones4781 3 месяца назад

I was thinking of getting a oase 350 bio thermo. Hoes the flow rate? Good for a 3ft tank??

@deep6ed 3 месяца назад

@@madhatterjones4781 I'd highly recommend it. The inlet and outlet both have valves so you can turn down the flow if you need to. I can't say it enough, the pre filter sponges are a game changer. It takes 5 minutes to remove the pre filter module, rinse the sponges under a tap and reinstall the clean module. Keeps the main body of the filter clean. I checked out of curiosity after 4 months running time. Impressed just how clean the filter media are.

I run oase filtosmart 60, if you use the oase thermo 100 cap (which you can buy separately) you can fit a 50w superfish heater. Nano external filter with a heater in the UK - perfect 😊

@Pud26 3 месяца назад

Is that the cap you get as part of the accessory kit? This would really help my new tank project!

@frazzlefresh 3 месяца назад

Yeah it’s from the “Oase ThermoFit FiltoSmart 100” spares/accessory kit. I use the cap and the black tube to protect the heater from direct contact with any media/foam. Although you need to cut the tube to fit it. I’ve got 2 of these running like this with great results and I pair it with litiaquaria steel tubes for a nice finish.

@johnnydubbsaquascaping 3 месяца назад

Great no nonsense video Matt, the Filtosmart 60 looks like a nice little filter. the Oase filters are quite expensive in Australia and sell for $140 Aus dollars. I cut some corners and purchased a cheap SunSun HW603B to try a canister on my 60 litre aquarium, this was $45 Aus dollars so cheap but feels cheap too and is a pain to get open I feel. I have three 60 litre aquariums so would be expensive to purchase three of the Oase.

I bought a version of this which is a gravel cleaner. Instead of the inlet/outlet fixtures, it comes with a plastic funnel for siphoning the gravel. I use filter floss instead of the blue sponge though, as the latter doesn't quite cut it for catching all the muck 😂 Works a treat, and I have a spare filter if I ever need it!

@cigarsmokingguyatx 3 месяца назад

The thing I like about most of the Oase canister filters that are the non-thermo models the fill port can also hold an Oase heater. The larger BioMaster units come with the adaptor for the heater. I also own the thermo version of the canister in the video as well as the next size larger and they are wonderful filters.

@nightlite9009 3 месяца назад

For a bowl it's probably the only sensible option. But it is a bit pricey for what it is. For a small nano-aquarium the AllPondSolutions Hob-500 is a better/cheaper option as a 'Hang on the back canister' filter. Just my opinion of course.

@FishShopMatt 3 месяца назад

Yeah I can understand that, the thing I looked at is it would cost me the same for a decent internal and I wouldn't be able to fit it in the bowl.

This is a rebranded Eden 501 filter, only difference between the two is the Eden has a smoked opaque body so you see the internal filter media. Harder to find, EBay may be the best option, and it’s a lot cheaper than the Oase.

@jackasscou 3 месяца назад

Here in France the Eden 501 is more common to find tha the Oase Filtosmart. But 100% agree with you, it's the same filter but more expansive because of the Oase skin.

@donpettit7107 3 месяца назад

Pump is IDENTICAL to the older line of ZooMed filters…which have now changed the side locks…which are a bit of a pain. Excellent little filters…but best for smaller than specified capacity tanks as you are doing…if only because they are a bit difficult/time consuming to clean. They run a long time and are reliable…other than the tubing which will gather algae internally and become more difficult to clean with time. Plan on replacing the flexible tubing every year or two.

I put one of these filters on my 10 gallon long and I like it. I used hose clamps instead of the screw on ones as I almost had one come off. I am using the spray bar on the end of my 10 gallon long tank to get the flow running long ways on my tank. I did not like the foam in the intake as the filter slowed down really fast and needs cleaning often. I used SeaChem Matrix for the media. This filter is super quiet too. I really like this little gem. Thanks for reviewing it. The one change I am contemplating is switching the foam to the intake side and moving the media to the other side. I think you could remove the pipe too and it would still work. That way the water hits the mechanical media (foam) first and then the biological. The way it is is backwards IMHO. What do you think about doing this switch?
