Keeping crystal-clear, healthy water is the heart of every successful aquarium. Whether you maintain a small planted tank or a large community setup, the quality of your filtration system determines the wellbeing of your fish, plants, and the overall balance of your aquatic ecosystem.
The Ultramax BT represents a new generation of external aquarium filters, combining power, innovation, and intelligent control to transform how you maintain your tank.
The Importance of Filtration
In every aquarium, fish waste, uneaten food, and plant debris break down, releasing ammonia and other toxins into the water. Without efficient mechanical and biological filtration, these substances can quickly reach dangerous levels, endangering aquatic life.
A powerful filter continuously removes impurities, supports beneficial bacteria, and keeps the ecosystem stable. Filtration is not just about clear water, it’s about maintaining biological balance.
The right filter provides:
- Mechanical filtration to remove debris and particles.
- Biological filtration to cultivate beneficial bacteria that break down toxins.
- Chemical filtration to neutralise unwanted compounds when necessary.
An advanced filter like the Ultramax BT delivers all of this while giving aquarists full digital control over performance.
Smart Technology for Modern Aquariums
Recognised worldwide by aquarists for its reliability, the Ultramax line has earned a reputation for top-tier performance. The new Ultramax BT takes it a step further with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to adjust all settings, from flow rate to power output, directly from your smartphone or tablet using the Aquael BT App.
Whether you’re across the room or relaxing on the sofa, you can:
- Adjust power and flow levels with precision.
- Choose from four flow modes – constant, pulse, sinusoidal, or intermittent.
- Set day and night cycles to replicate natural conditions.
- Enable feeding mode, reducing flow to keep fish stress-free during meals.
Versatility for Any Aquarium Size
Thanks to infinitely variable flow control, the Ultramax BT suits both small and large tanks, from 100 to 750 litres. Simply lower the flow rate through the app for smaller aquariums or increase it for heavily stocked setups.
This flexibility makes the Ultramax BT a cost-effective, long-term solution for any aquarist, adapting easily to future tank upgrades.
Designed for Maximum Efficiency
The Ultramax BT is built with five large filter baskets offering a total media capacity of 10.1 litres. A 0.6-litre pre-filter, integrated into the lid, traps large particles before they reach the main chamber, reducing maintenance and extending media life.
Patented features include:
- A double ball valve system to prevent leaks during servicing.
- A self-priming mechanism that fills the filter with just a few pump movements.
- A ceramic impeller shaft ensuring near-silent operation, even at maximum flow.
Quiet, efficient, and easy to maintain, this filter can even run comfortably in bedrooms or workspaces.
Powerful Performance, Minimal Consumption
Despite its strength, the Ultramax BT is highly energy-efficient, consuming only 6.1–13.5 watts depending on the chosen flow rate. It delivers outstanding filtration performance with significantly lower electricity costs, a win for both aquarists and the planet.
Ready to Use Straight Out of the Box
Each Ultramax BT comes fully equipped with everything you need: hoses, elbows, pipes, a spray bar, and pre-loaded filtration media, including mechanical sponges and BioceraMax 600 for biological filtration.
Simply install, connect, and enjoy the difference in water clarity and stability.
The Future of Aquarium Filtration
With its blend of smart control, silent operation, and multi-stage filtration, the Ultramax BT brings professional-grade performance into every home aquarium. By simulating natural water flow, it helps fish and plants thrive in a calm, balanced environment.
If you’re looking for an external canister filter that combines innovation, efficiency, and reliability, the Aquael Ultramax BT is the perfect upgrade for your tank.
