Aquarium.guideCompare filters, heaters and lights that fit your tank, with room to clean and maintain them.
Outside measurements for this Aqueon tank. Leave extra room behind and above it for hoses, a lid and maintenance.
The numbers that matter depend on the job. Start with these equipment examples.
Compact external filter with separate maker ratings for pump output and filter circulation.
Consider: Allow room to lift out and service the canister. Measure its 13.7-inch height plus the hose route before choosing it for a cabinet.
Four-stage hang-on-back filter with adjustable flow, a reusable media basket, and maker-rated maximum flow.
Consider: The media basket lifts upward. Leave unobstructed space above the filter so routine cleaning does not require moving the tank.
Current-generation app-controlled full-spectrum planted LED rated at 1,600 lm.
Consider: Operation depends on the app. Check phone compatibility before purchase, then measure the tank span against its 15–24 inch mounting range.
Use your tank measurements, equipment labels and electricity rate. See the assumptions alongside the result.
Compare filter types, understand flow ratings, and make room for safe connections.
