## Description

Penn-Plax presents the Cascade 150 Power Hang-On Filter. This filter quietly delivers crystal clear water, and pushes water at 150 Gallons per Hour (GPH) for tanks up to 35 Gallons in size. It’s great for Freshwater and Saltwater aquariums. Accommodating: The adjustable flow knob allows for increased or decreased water flow at will, which is extremely helpful during feeding times, or use it as needed. The hang-on design is constructed for safe mounting. The lift tube extends between 7” (min) and 10. 5” (max). Extremely Beneficial: This Cascade filter utilizes disposable, double-sided media cartridges that contain Activated Carbon and Poly Fiber Floss. The included cartridge traps floating particulate matter, removes harmful chemicals and toxins, clears up discolorations, and reduces foul odors from your aquarium’s water. Revolutionary: The Cascade 150 Power Hang-On Filter features a Bio-Sponge cartridge that optimizes colonization of anaerobic bacteria, and is independent from the first stage filter media. In addition, our Bio-Falls system enhances water oxygenation, and aids with removing ammonia and nitrate. Overall Measurements: 6. 75” (H) x 7. 25” (W) x 4. 75” (D).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this filter have a flow adjustment?**
A: It does but it's an extremely minimal change in the flow, unless I got a defective one. If you've only got one filter on your tank, don't use this one.

**Q: Is there any type of "filter extender?" I need it to reach farther now.**
A: Not that I know of.  But, I bet you can go to your local hardware or builder store and find vinyl tubing that has a diameter that would snuggly fit over the end of the tube.  Then you can make it how ever long you need and cut it to size.  Bring the filter tube into the store and test it out on different sizes.  I'm sure something will fit on it.

**Q: I need an extension on the water intake, what is the longest length I can add to this filter?**
A: I was concerned also when i realized how short the tube was, but can say after a years use that this is one of the best filters I've ever used in my 35 gal tank.

**Q: Can I use this for a saltwater tank**
A: Hey Daniel, 

Thanks for your question. Yes, you can use this filter for a saltwater tank.
