Eheim Pickup Internal Filter – 45, 60, 160 & 200
The Eheim Pickup Internal Filter is a compact, reliable internal aquarium filter designed for easy maintenance, adjustable water circulation and dependable everyday filtration. Available in Pickup 45, 60, 160 and 200 models, the range covers aquariums from small setups through to tanks up to 200 litres.
What makes the Pickup range particularly convenient is its removable filter canister design. During maintenance, the filter chamber and sponge can be lifted out from the top while the pump unit remains attached inside the aquarium, making cleaning quick and simple. Water is drawn in through the bottom of the filter, passes through the filter cartridge and returns to the aquarium through an adjustable rotating outlet nozzle.
Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, each Eheim Pickup comes complete with filter media and is ready to install.
