PRODUCT Details
The Eheim Pick Up 45 Internal Filter is a small, efficient internal filter designed for nano and smaller aquariums. With its clever “pick up” design, the Eheim Pick Up 45 Internal Filter lets you lift out the media container from the top, making maintenance quick and mess‑free while the pump section can stay in the tank.
Inside, the Eheim Pick Up 45 Internal Filter uses a foam cartridge to trap debris and provide surface area for beneficial bacteria. This combination of mechanical and biological filtration helps keep water clear and stable, making it a great choice for shrimp tanks, small community setups, quarantine tanks and fry grow‑out tanks.
