Collection: Skimmers & Filters

Filtration hardware — protein skimmers, canister and HOB filters, sponge filters, reactors, UV sterilizers, and fleece rollers. Skimming exports waste before it breaks down; media handles what is left.

The Hardware That Cleans Your Water

Filtration works in three ways at once: mechanical (removing particles), biological (housing beneficial bacteria), and chemical (running media). This collection is the hardware side — the skimmers, filters, and reactors that do the work. On a reef, a protein skimmer is the workhorse; on freshwater, a canister or hang-on filter usually leads. We carry filtration from Reef Octopus, Bubble Magus, Fluval, Seachem, Tunze, and Red Sea.

Types of Filtration

  • Protein skimmers — pull dissolved organics out of saltwater before they break down.
  • Canister & hang-on filters — all-in-one mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration.
  • Sponge & corner filters — gentle biological filtration for nano, breeding, and fry tanks.
  • Media reactors — force water through carbon, GFO, or biopellets for targeted control.
  • UV sterilizers & fleece rollers — clarify water and reduce free-floating algae and pathogens.

Size a skimmer and filter to your actual bioload, not just tank volume — an overstocked tank needs more. Pair the hardware here with the right media for the job. Email info@jlaquatics.com to match a system. J&L has served Canadian aquarists since 1997.

J&L Aquatics was formed in December 1997

Our business was started from our love of the aquarium hobby. We at J&L Aquatics felt that the Canadian aquarist should have the option to purchase top quality supplies, equipment and livestock other than the generally over priced local retail stores.
