Dophin CF Canister Filter

The DoPhin CF Canister Filter represents the next generation in aquarium filtration—offering powerful performance with enhanced functionality at a budget-friendly price. Designed with innovation and flexibility in mind, this new line of canister filters can accommodate a built-in heater and CO₂ diffuser directly within the filter chamber (heaters sold separately). This integrated approach helps reduce visible equipment inside the tank, making it perfect for aquarists who value a clean and uncluttered display.

In addition to its modular design, the CF series delivers efficient mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration, ensuring clear and healthy water in both freshwater and planted aquariums. With its easy setup, quiet operation, and expandable features, the DoPhin CF Canister Filter is an ideal choice for hobbyists seeking performance, convenience, and value in one streamlined system.

McMerwe’s Review: 
Dophin did a really good job at giving us a filter at half the price of the Oase filters. It is a very good budget option to have less equipment inside of your tank. Its not close to the Oase build quality, but if you are on a budget – its still value for money. They say it can work with any heater – but this still needs to be confirmed. We still recomend do not use the diffuser that comes with these units for your co2, but rather use a Twinstar diffuser inside of you tank.

  1. Verified owner alexisriebe27 (verified owner)

    I bought the CF12308 and inserted a 200W heater inside. It works really well and runs without noise. Just be very careful when fitting the heater as the plastic cover which goes around the heater must be perfectly level (otherwise the heater wont fit in the filter correctly). It took me about 45 minutes to get it fitted perfectly – using some luke-warm water helped alot. Overall I think this is great value for money.

    I took a lot of time researching good filters and bought the CF 12008 dophin canister filter. This is my first canister filter and could not believe the difference in water quality and clarity. The adjustable flow rate works great and the filter has a built in heater compartment which I am using and it is effective. Saved so much space inside the tank. Used in combination with the lily pipes the tank is aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for all the advice over the last month McMerwe!
