FAQs
Can this filter be used in saltwater aquariums?
The JBL CristalProfi Greenline series is primarily designed for freshwater applications.
How often should I clean the filter media?
It depends on your bioload, but a monthly inspection is recommended, rinsing the foam only when the flow rate visibly drops.
Does it need an air pump?
No, the filter provides sufficient water movement. If you need extra oxygen, you can adjust the outlet to break the surface tension.
What is the maximum tank length for this unit?
It is optimized for aquariums between 80 cm and 100 cm in length.
Is the filter media included?
Yes, the unit comes fully equipped with the necessary filter media for immediate use.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow
Check if the filter media is clogged with debris or if the intake slots are obstructed by plant matter.
Noisy operation
Ensure the filter is securely attached to the glass and check that there is no air trapped in the pump chamber.
Filter keeps detaching
Clean the aquarium glass with a scraper to remove algae and ensure the suction cups are free from debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the filter, ensure your aquarium glass is clean before attaching the provided suction cups. The filter is rated for tanks 90-160 litres and 80-100 cm in length. During initial setup, rinse all filter sponges with dechlorinated water to remove manufacturing dust. For ongoing care, monitor the flow rate; if you notice a decrease, remove the filter using the valve system and gently rinse the sponges in a bucket of tank water—never tap water—to protect the nitrifying bacteria. The pump is maintenance-free, but you should inspect the intake slots monthly for debris or plant matter blockages.
