By pushing water from the bottom upward through a dispersion plate, it forces an even distribution of water through the media, and prevents channeling. It can be mounted hanging on the back of the aquarium or below the aquarium.Hose barb connections are for 1/2 inch i.d. tubingIncludes 1/2 inch barbed ball valve for flow control, and hose clampsRecommended flow rate is 80 to 90 gallons per hourUse with a minimum of 130 grams PhosBan
