The Jebo 838 external canister filter is designed for any aquarium up to 150 gallons (567 liters) and used for freshwater or saltwater. The Jebo 838 filter is a 4 stage filter, which is more efficient than hang-on or internal filters.

The Jebo 838 external canister filter is a multi-stage filtration system utilizing the entire canister volume that increases water flow efficiently. These filters work by drawing up water through a tube and into a filter canister where the water is pushed through a series of filter media. After the water has gone through the filter media, the clean filtered water is pumped back into the aquarium.
