01AQUARIUM FILTERS & PUMPS
Precision filtration for the aquatic home
Positioned discreetly beside the tank, this external unit works quietly behind the glass. It maintains the invisible balance that keeps water clear and life vibrant within your aquatic display.
The Protege P2000 handles three stages of filtration simultaneously. It suits aquarists who value clarity and control, offering a customised system for tanks up to 250 litres.
02MATERIALS
A vessel for varied filtration media
The canister is designed to hold significant volumes of different filter materials. You can combine mechanical pads, activated carbon, resins and porous ceramic noodles. This flexibility allows you to tailor the internal configuration specifically to the needs of your current livestock and water conditions.
04FUNCTION
Three distinct stages of purification
Mechanical pads capture visible particles like sludge and uneaten food. Chemical media such as carbon removes dissolved compounds and odours. Biological material processes ammonia from metabolic waste. Together, these stages work to keep the water crystal clear and chemically stable for sensitive species.
05DETAILS
Powerful performance in a compact form
Despite its capacity for large tanks, the unit operates on standard 240V AC power at 50Hz. The packing carton measures 34 by 26 by 39 centimetres and weighs 6 kilograms, making it manageable for installation. Its design prioritises function, ensuring reliable operation without excessive bulk in the room.

About this product
Extremely versatile and customisable, the Protégé P2000 External Aquarium Filter and Pump series hold large amounts of mechanical, chemical, and biological filter material in varying combinations to provide you with the ultimate filtration. The result is maximum flexibility to create a unique filtration system suited for your needs.
The Protégé Ultra Series delivers a smooth consistent flow of water to pass through the filtration system. It provides the water flow that is vital for effectively distributing oxygen to fishes and other aquarium inhabitants. Aside from aeration and water circulation, the pump can also operate ornaments and create currents inside the tank.
Mechanical Filtration – Add mechanical filter pads to effectively remove unsightly particles from the water, including fish excrement, sludge, uneaten food and dust.
Chemical Filtration – Adding activated carbon and resins will remove various pollutants including dissolved organic compounds and keep the water crystal clear without odour. Effective at removing impurities such as copper, chlorine, dissolved proteins, medications, tap water impurities. Perfect for sensitive fish and invertebrates.
Biological Filtration – If you have a heavily stocked aquarium or a very large fish that produces a greater amount of metabolic waste, just add biological material. These very porous ceramic noodles and bio balls allow efficient biological filtration to effectively process ammonia.
