The Mighty Aquarium Filter series features 5 sizes to accommodate a range of aquarium sizes. Hang on back filters, commonly abbreviated to HOB, are a classic method for providing essential filtration to the aquarium. Easy to install and use, HOB filters are a fantastic choice for beginner hobbyists or for those who are interested in easy accessibility. These compact filters are budget-friendly and hang directly on the rim of the aquarium. The Might Aquarium Filter HOB features leveling knobs to ensure a secure fit and adjustable flow. We recommend HOB filters for shrimp tanks, Betta tanks, nano tanks and other aquarium setups that would do better with gentle flow. The Mighty Aquarium Filter comes with everything needed to get started - Each model is preloaded with matching media for initial use and includes one replacement set. We recommend purchasing extra replacement media to ensure a quick and easy refresh when needed

What we like about the Mighty Aquarium HOB Filter

Beginner-Friendly: HOB, aka hang on back, filters are a top pick for beginner hobbyists due to ease of use and simple design. This type of filter is commonly used for nano aquariums, breeding projects or aquariums that require a gentler flow.
Quick Installation: HOB filters are easy to install and can be quickly secured to the rim of the desired aquarium. The Mighty Aquarium HOB filter includes a leveling knob that ensures the filter unit stays upright. This added stability improves flow and allows for optimal performance.
Easy Maintenance: Hang on back filters are easy to maintain and clean. When compared to canister filters, HOB filters can be easily dismantled and thoroughly cleaned. Like other aquarium filters, the included media (sponge or cartridge) should be cleaned regularly and periodically replaced. Click here to purchase replacement media!
