  • The AstraReef Hybrid is the only system that combines under-gravel biological filtration and mechanical filtration in one integrated unit — with a cleaning mechanism that almost eliminates the maintenance time of traditional systems.

  • The AstraReef eliminates the waterfall sound of traditional HOB filters. The pump produces a low hum — significantly quieter than conventional systems.

  • AstraVera filter media typically needs rinsing - preferably in a bucket of syphoned water from you tank - once a month depending on your aquarium size and fish load. The AstraGate overflow module gives you a clear visual signal when it's time — no guesswork required.
