Eheim Pick-Up 45 Internal Filter
The EHEIM pickup is a small practical filter with a special concept.
The filter is simple to attach in the tank with suction cups. The special thing about the concept of the pickup is that the filter canister together with its cartridge can be removed from above, while the pump unit remains in the tank. This is a very practical solution for cleaning or changing the filter cartridge.
The pump sucks in the water from below and carries it through the filter cartridge to the top. Here the filtered water is directed back into the tank via the rotatable outlet nozzle.
Benefits
- Smaller internal filter for aquariums up to 160 l

Easy to install with suction cups. I liked that I can remove the filter cartridge without taking the pump out. The water flow is steady and the tank stays clean. The rotatable nozzle helps with directing water where needed.

Works well in my 120-liter tank. The design makes maintenance simple. I don’t have to fully dismantle the filter to clean the cartridge. Only minor improvement would be a more durable seal on the cartridge.

Great for small to medium tanks. The bottom inlet and top outlet setup keeps the water movement smooth. I appreciate the ease of replacing the filter cartridge without moving the pump.
