An aquarium water filtering system includes a first filtering section (200), a second filtering section (300), and a third filtering section (400). The first filtering section (200) has a first housing (205) configured to receive water, perform a first filtering action on the received water, and produce a first filtered water. The second filtering section (300) has a second housing (301) placed horizontally adjacent to the first housing (205) and configured to receive first filtered water, perform a second filtering action on the first filtered water, and produce a second filtered water. The third filtering section (400) has a third housing (405) placed horizontally adjacent to the second housing (205) and configured to receive the second filtered water, perform a third filtering action on the second filtered water, and produce a third filtered water for return to the aquarium. The second filtering section (300) includes: a distribution plate (360) configured to distribute the first filtered aquarium water over an interior of the second housing (205); a biological filter material (325) located below the distribution plate (360) and configured to perform a portion of the second filtering action; and a UV light (391-397) configured located above the distribution plate (360) and configured to irradiate water passing through the distribution plate (360). |
