The best just got bigger! OASE BioMaster 850 with filtration capacity of 1500l/hr.
It's great opportunity for me to have this great canister filter on hands.
Time to do unboxing and overview on some features of this product.
For the review of my previous OASE BioMaster 600, please visit the link below. OASE BioMaster 850 features are similar to that, just an UPSIZE! Yay!

Nice unboxing video. And the aquascape looks awesome. I really like the plants growing emersed and looks really healthy as well.👌👌👌
Thank you very much. I am glad that you like it.
Yes, I love plants growing emersed, too. That's really give the natural touch for any scape. ^_^
@@LitiAquaria yes of course.....they know that they have the best care taker😄...And the fact that they grew out of water shows the power of mother nature.
Without nature or nature's help, life on earth is impossible. Right?😅😅😅
@@thenatureaquarist4650 You are totally right, my friend! ^^
@@LitiAquaria the heater is necessary if the room temperature does not fall below 22 in winter. I can buy the non thermo version much cheaper.
@@supermeseriasu Yes, I am living in a tropical country and use the normal version without heater.
Thank you for the mistake! That’s the kind of genuine help we need to see!
My pleasure to hear that it is helpful. I really love the pre-filter function! That have helped me a lot to save tons of time throughout the years! :D
What capacity model Oase biomaster canister filter model is needed to filter a 180 gallon tank? ( 120cm×60cm×70cm ) tank with 12 to 14 adult discus and some tetras, Cory's and a siamese algae eater.
Hi, your tank is quite big in volume (about 500L). For planted tank, normally I try to get the filtration turnover about 5-10 times of tank volume, means about 2500L/hr to 5000L/hr capacity. It would be the best if you can run 2 x Oase BioMaster 850 for that tank (1550L/hr x 2 = 3100L/hr).
Shouldn't the mechanical media go in the bottom tray as in this filter the water flow is bottom tray to top tray?
Hi Edward, one good thing about OASE BioMaster filter is the pre-filter module. That pre-filter, it is actually the first "mechanical media" that screening all the debris before water go to the bottom tray then to top tray (final mechanical media, red sponge). It will be very convenient for filter maintenance, we can just take out the pre-filter module and clean that only. The rest should be very clean. 😊
Love the comical approach into something pretty mundane, thanks bro :)
Haha. Thank you, brother. 😊
Beautiful multicoloured planted tank. How big is the tank in L×B×H? Very descriptive information about the filter without uttering any words. The power of sign language. One thing i do want to ask with CO2 doesn't it lowers the PH levels because there's a theory of 'Aging water'. Can CO2 be used in a discus tank?. As for Oase 850 Biomaster..it's truly a live giving Oasis relating to filtration in fish keeping hobby.
Love the tank. Also, like your comical approach to the video. Good one
Thanks for your kind comment, Mike! I am glad that you like it! 😊
Installed the 850T this weekend but somehow every x minutes it's blowing air bubbles via the outflow out of the filter. No idea why or where it can be leaking air....... Never had this issue with the previous eheim filter so not sure yet why it's happening :( Is this also happening on yours?
I have noticed that from my filter once in a while, too. Normally it happened when the prefilter is dirty and need some wash. For newly setup filter, it takes sometimes for water to fill in the unit properly and air trapped will gradually pushed out.
You can do some checking on the connection of hose and inlet pipe to see if there be any chance it is not tighten? If it is not, then air can be sucked into filter unit together with water and causing the issue of airbubbles too. :)
Having said that, if the flow rate is not affected much, I am OK with that. :D
@@LitiAquaria yeah still trying to find out why. Now testing it with 1 sponge less in the pre-filter and put the others with some space between them. Hope that will work (still not a good solution for a brand new filter..) Also the humming noise get annoying. Seems like it's only the head/motor making the sound. No vibration inside the cabinet etc.
@@paulus1412 Oh, ì some the head / motor got sounds I guess that would be an air trap. That is kind of deadly silience for me when I close the cabinet :D
@@LitiAquaria i gave Up this filter after 6 month bubble Hell, Now i have eheim professionel 5e , Now i am happe, No more noise and air bubbles👌😀
Wow Eheim Pro5 should be interesting! 😁
Yep.. That thing happen to mine as well.. Bubbles while priming 😂😂👍😊
Haha... Ya bro. I think we all got some common things to learn and it's good to share for our friends to avoid doing the same thing. :P
i would say AquaEL ULTRAMAX 2000 is better, makes 2000L/h, is super silent, the tubes can be plugged/unplugged separately and needs also very less electricity and i think it is also cheaper 😀
Thanks for the info, buddy. I heard about Aquael, too. It's impressive with the capacity of 2000L/hr. Hope I can try it on hands one day. :D
@@LitiAquaria first i was unsure about it but i have to say i really love it. i had before sera cannister filter (broke after 1 year) and then JBL cannister filter (leaked and flooded my living room around 8 times in 1 year). using aquael since 1 month now and hopefully i will use it much longer than the others 😀
@@plantsfishtanks6885 :D Hope it will last and steady, bro ^^
@@LitiAquaria fingers are crossed 😉
@@plantsfishtanks6885 its been 1 year, how's it going?
Hey iam going to buy same filter. Can you confirm we if we can control the flow via mobile app or something and its noise proof?????
Hi buddy, there is no flow control via mobile app. The app I used in this video is for the Wifi Smart Extension Plug, which is used to turn on and off the filter only. 🙂 And also, regarding the noise: as this filter got rubber dampers at the bottom, noise due to vibration is much reduced. However, it is not totally deadly quiet. I put filter in cabinet, hence the humming sounds when it is in operation is negligible. 😄
deserves 1M views bro!
You make my day, bro Jerome! Thank you! ^_^
Damn, nice scape man! Also thanks for the unboxing video, wanted info on this filter for my cascade tank and got what i needed
Thanks man. I am glad that is helpful. Have a great weekend, buddy! 💪😁
Nice filter :))))
👍👍👍
I've gotten two of the 850 Biomaster Thermos for the 220 gallon tank I'm setting up in the next couple weeks.
***Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken***, but the water travels from bottom to top thru the trays after the pre-filter on the pipe.
What I've noticed is mine came with Black (60 PPI) filters on the pre-filter, which will obviously cause premature clogging, so I'm replacing it with Blue (20 PPI) sponges.
Unfortunately, Oase doesn't offer Black (60 PPI) filter for the trays, so I've ordered some generic sheets that I'll cut to fit the trays.
Additionally, I've ordered additional Orange (30 PPI) sponges for the trays.
So, following the replacement Blue (60 PPI) sponges on the pre-filter, my planned order *from bottom to top* is:
Tray #1) 0.6 inch bio-balls with tiny sponges (loose in the bottom tray) from Amazon
Tray #2) Blue sponge (20 PPI)
Tray #3) Blue sponge (20 PPI)
Tray #4) 2 of the thinner Orange sponges (30 PPI)
Tray #5) Black sponge (60 PPI)
Tray #6) Black sponge (60 PPI)
Tray #7) Bags of Purigen (In the thinner top tray)
***Can anyone think of anything I've overlooked or see anthing I've got out of order?***
Hi buddy. Do you mean your prefilter is Blue (20PPI) as you already replaced the Black (60PPI)?
Your arrangement should be fine, but with many sponge layer, probably you might need to clean it time to time to prevent the flow reduction. Personally, I prefer to use more bio media / bio balls in the filter tray. Pre-filter with Orange sponge is quite fine, but it is very easy to clean. So I won't need to touch the rest of the tray everytime I do filter maintenance. :)
I love this filters .
Indeed powerful filter! 😊💪
#airbubblehell
Impressive tank!
Hi. Thank you very much! 😊
How many bio media did you used to fill the filter?
For quite a long time I have not opened it to see honestly hence I could not remember. But I would fill most of the tray with bio media and only left one tray with original sponge.
Wah Aquamagician!
Haha... Thanks bro. I will try to do more magic like that! :P
Is it totally silent ? Or does it have a humming sound when running?
It's still has a humming sound certainly. But the rubber dampers are very good and reduce lots of noise. I keep in the cabinet and just forgot about having it inside. 😆
Beautiful
Thank you! 🤩
Damn beautiful tank
Thanks for your encouragement, mate! 😊🙏
In this time what is your opinion about oase? Thanks
I am still using OASE filters in many of my setups and I think it is great. I love the pre-filter as it helps to speed up the filter maintenance by a lot. 😁
The flow rate is very bad…actually terrible. The empellar far too small.
I've been using the OASE Biomaster filter for a few years now, and I've noticed that reduced flow rate is often due to the fine prefilter getting clogged. When flow is reduced, simply cleaning the prefilter is a breeze, and the flow returns to normal. Additionally, if you're looking to improve flow rate, consider switching to a coarser sponge prefilter-it can make a difference.
Despite this, I still appreciate the balance between flow rate and the ease of cleaning the prefilter. It's been a game-changer for maintaining my planted tank, especially during filter cleaning sessions.
lol reminds me to be careful when do priming when i get biomaster haha, how long did you cycle the water and as well as how long to the final stage of the plants and fishes to come in, in total all in all?
Hi buddy! Yeah, primming with lower water level will prevent spilling. 😂 By the way, you can plant the plants from Day 1, no problem. For fish, the tank should be cycled first before you start having them in. If all brandnew biomedia and tank, it might take about 4 weeks to complete the cycle process. For me, I always try to use the old biomedia filter, so the cycling time is much shorten, probaby a few days to a week, I can safely having fish there. The old biomedia already "seeded" with good beneficial bacteria. That is the key! :D
@@LitiAquaria thanks for replying so fast! thats gd info for me, i'm restarting this hobby from scratch again, i moved and having own house so gonna start again fishy hobby yikes so i really need to cycle for a month for everything to set in n settle down? :O
Always excited to start a new. Sometimes, waiting is happiness as well. Do you agree? But if you would like to fasten the process, can get some "live bacteria" from the shops, they do sell it, too.
Nice tank
Thank you very much! Have a good day! 😍
😍😍😍
Thanks bro 👍😁
Looks a great filter with nice features, but real
World water turnover according to reviews when full is around 600LPH.

Very nice video buddy! Which one will you recommend me oase 850 or eheim 1200xl? 😊
Thanks buddy. Both are Monster filters in my view. I am using both right now. For OASE 850, the cleaning of filter is much faster though. However, flowrate for Eheim 1200xl is one of the best! Oh, wow, better to get both 😜😜
@@LitiAquaria hahah thank you for your response, so it seems i can choose either 1. 🤜🤛😁
I would choose Oase for easier maintenance and also less piping inside the tank. 😊
@@LitiAquaria alright bro, probably will go with Oase! Thanks alot for your advise. 💯😊
You're most welcome, buddy! 😊💪
Very nice 👍. So your running two filters ?
Thanks buddy. Yes, I run 2 filters for my tank (120*45*45cm).
How long your aquarium
At the time of filming, it was about 1 year old. :D
What is the name of the biological media you are using?
Hi buddy, that's Neo Media Filter (Neutral). 😸
Is it enough for 150 cm ??
I would use 2 units for 150*60*60cm tank. For this 120cm tank, I use 1 unit of Oase BioMaster 850 and 1 unit of Oase BioMaster 600.
@@LitiAquaria thank you😁
You're welcome, buddy!
Think u can filter a small river with this one lol
Haha... I wish I can have a river tank in my home. Will definitely use this filter bro :P
@@LitiAquaria haha, i bet...love the vids man...more magic tricks, love it
Haha! Thanks bro. I wish the magic will go on and on.... 😆 🪄 ✨
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
