  The Resun Streamax SMX1000 Hang-on Back Filter is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments. It performs well in a range of water conditions, maintaining clear, clean water. Ideal water temperature ranges from 18°C to 30°C (64°F to 86°F), making it adaptable to tropical tanks as well as cold-water aquariums. It handles slightly acidic to slightly alkaline water with a pH range of 6.5 to 8.5.

• Tank Size and Stocking

• Compatible with Aquatic Plants
  The efficient filtration also benefits live plants by maintaining a steady supply of nutrients in the water. The filter helps prevent algae buildup by keeping excess nutrients in check, promoting a healthy aquatic ecosystem.

• Avoid for Sensitive Species
  While the adjustable flow rate makes it suitable for most fish, caution should be taken with very small or delicate species, like shrimp or very small fish, as the flow might be too strong. For such species, a low flow setting or additional filter media might be necessary.

Feeding Habit and Care:

• Feeding Behavior
  The Resun Streamax SMX1000 filter does not interfere with feeding behavior. However, it’s important to adjust the filter flow rate to prevent food from being sucked into the filter before the fish have a chance to consume it. The gentle yet effective water circulation ensures that food remains evenly distributed.

• Regular Maintenance
  To maintain optimal performance, clean the filter media regularly. Replace the filter pads every 4-6 weeks, or when you notice reduced flow or an increase in debris. It’s also recommended to clean the impeller and check for any obstructions in the intake tube every 2-3 months to ensure consistent operation.

• Long-Term Care
  The SMX1000 is built for long-term use with minimal maintenance required. If you notice any decrease in filtration efficiency or hear unusual noises, check the filter for blockages or damaged parts. With proper care, the Resun Streamax SMX1000 will continue to provide reliable filtration for years.
