Ultimate Guide to the SICCE AQUA FILTRA 10, 20 & 40

How These Hang-On Back Filters Transform Your Aquarium

When it comes to keeping your aquarium water crystal clear, biologically balanced, and healthy for fish, plants, or even corals in nano marine setups, efficient filtration is key. The SICCE AQUA FILTRA series — including the
Sicce Aqua Filtra 10, Aqua Filtra 20, and Aqua Filtra 40 — offers an affordable, easy-to-use, and reliable filtration solution for freshwater and saltwater aquariums alike.

These compact hang-on-back filters are designed to provide three-stage filtration, gentle but effective water circulation, and user-friendly maintenance — making them perfect for both beginners and seasoned hobbyists.

Why Choose the Sicce Aqua Filtra Series?

✅ 1. Efficient Three-Stage Filtration System

Each Aqua Filtra model features a proven three-stage filtration process with replaceable cartridges included, helping you maintain clean water that supports healthy fish and plant life:

• Mechanical/Biological Filtration: A coarse sponge traps debris and promotes beneficial bacteria growth.

• Chemical Filtration: Activated carbon + zeolite removes toxins, odors, and discoloration.

• Fine Filtration: A wool pad polishes water for clarity and brilliance.

This combination helps keep your tank’s water clear, odor-free, and safe for aquatic life.

Easy Installation & User-Friendly Setup

One of the biggest advantages of the Aqua Filtra line is how quick and simple setup is — even for new aquarium keepers:

• Plug-and-Play Design: Ready to run out of the box with self-priming pump technology that restarts automatically after power outages.

• Hang-On-Back (HOB) Style: Saves space inside the aquarium while giving easy access for maintenance.

• Adjustable Flow Control: Tailor the water movement for your specific aquarium needs — ideal if you have delicate fish or planted tanks.

• Waterfall Spillway: Promotes surface agitation and oxygen exchange, which is great for fish health.

No complicated plumbing, no specialized tools — just hook it on, plug it in, and start enjoying clearer water!

This range makes it easy to match the perfect filter to your aquarium’s size and livestock demands.

Hassle-Free Maintenance

One of the biggest frustrations for aquarists is filter maintenance — but Aqua Filtra keeps it simple:

• Replaceable Cartridges: Just swap out the included media cartridge when it’s time — no messy media dumping or complicated layering.

• Maintenance Indicator: Some retailers note features like maintenance reminders, helping you know when to clean or replace cartridges.

• Quiet Operation: These filters run with minimal noise, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices.

For ongoing care, consider replacement cartridges like the Sicce Aqua Filtra Replacement Complete Cartridge or media kits like Sicce Aqua Filtra Media Kit 2 Pack to keep filter performance at its peak.

Warranty: Peace of Mind for Your Investment

Unlike many budget filters that skimp on support, the Aqua Filtra series offers solid manufacturer warranty coverage— often including a standard 3-year warranty with additional years upon registration for a total of up to 5 years on models like the Aqua Filtra 10 and 40.

That extended warranty gives you confidence that your investment is protected, whether you’re setting up your first aquarium or upgrading an existing system.
