The EHEIM Pickup 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.

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

Works well in my 40-liter tank. The filter is compact and doesn’t take up much space. I found it easy to clean the cartridge every few weeks. The bottom inlet keeps silt from entering the filter.

Great for small tanks. The design makes maintenance simple. I changed the cartridge last week and didn’t have to move the pump. The water flow is smooth and the tank looks cleaner now.
