Best Answer

Canister filers are used in large aquariums that require a lot of water to be cleaned. They sit externally to the fish tank where the water enters, is cleaned then exits back into the tank. They have lots of area for bacteria to do their work on the ammonia and nitrates. Solids are also collected in the upper media trays.
