By moving the filter into the cabinet or beside the tank, you get more filtration capacity without taking up valuable space inside the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater is drawn from the aquarium through the inlet, passed through multiple stages of filter media, and then returned to the tank through the outlet.
