Sicce Filtration

Simply best and easiest filter system to use, and more importantly clean.

Filter was shipped out by Amazon to an Australian address however it isn't suitable with our 240V. Came with a US style plug. Had an Australian web address on package so you would have thought it could be done. If we can't use it here in Australia, please take it of the Australian Amazon website.

I got the Sicce Shark ADV 800 for my 40 gallon tank. I needed an internal filter since I'm housing a moray eel that requires a lid. This filter is unbelievably silent, and despite being compact, is much stronger than expected! I'll probably be getting a second one after getting a feel for it. As someone who works in home/business aquarium maintenance, my advice would be to get two of these if you're using it on a 40 gallon tank or larger. It'll help with water flow and because it's so compact, you'll want it for more filter media for beneficial bacteria to colonize in. My only gripe is that the filter compartments, despite being very modular and fun, are INCREDIBLY difficult to open for cleaning. It was not easy for me. This might just be an issue with my particular unit, but I have to use my heel and put pressure on the push tab of the lid to get it off, using all of my body weight. Nevertheless, it's durable, very customizable as far as filter media goes, and it's unobtrusive to look at. This filter is definitely worth buying, albeit on the more expensive side. If you don't desperately need a lid to keep your critters inside, a hang-on-back filter will be more affordable and work just as well.

Con los imánes es muy fácil de separar... pero a la hora de abrir los contenedros de cada filtro es simplemente imposible. Es un pletio interminalbe y no sabes si girar o tirar o simplemente aplicr mucha fuerza bruta y por fin se destapa.

SICCE Shark ADV 800- Using the Venturi is extremely loud. I was expecting a higher flow rate. I like the magnetic chambers. Being able take all the chambers out without having to remove the pump is very nice. The filter has been running for approximately 24 hours. This is a new 29 gallon set up. The picture without the Venturi working was taken yesterday around 6:30am. All the other pictures were taken about 24 hours later. Update 05/29/2024: Stopped using the Venturi. Filter is running great and quiet. The water is crystal clear. Live plants have been added along with some driftwood. The water does have a slight tea color due to the tannins being released by the driftwood. Updated to 5 stars.
