The Pentair modular filtration system is one of the most versatile systems available. It allows the aquarist to customize or expand the filtration system as needed. Modules connect together easily as long as all modules used have the same size and type of inlets and outlets. When using modules with different types/sizes of inlets and outlets additional parts will be needed. The chemical module has a removable media chamber which allows carbon to be pre-rinsed right in chamber. It holds approximately 7.3 oz. of pelletized carbon. This module may be filled with other substances such as biological media. Requires a pump which will turn over the aquarium water 3-4 times per hour. Module has a 1 1/4 in. slip inlet and 1 in. slip outlet. Rated for 100 gallon aquariums.
