Eshopps Manufacturer Warranty
The Eshopps WD-200 is a 4th generation wet/dry (trickle) filter for aquariums up to 200 gallons. Official Eshopps specs are 30 × 14 × 16 inches, 800 GPH, 29 gallons total volume and 15 gallons operating volume, with 500 bio-balls and three 1-inch intakes. This page uses the official 14-inch depth. Ships via UPS.
Features
- Traditional wet/dry biological filtration: water rains through a drip tray over bio-balls, which supports beneficial bacteria and high gas exchange for freshwater tanks with a heavy bioload (such as cichlids or large fish) and for saltwater setups.
- 4th generation cabinet: high-flow spillover design, a slide-out drip tray, and easy access for changing filter pads.
- Service-friendly layout: a return-pump compartment sized to the model, plus drain-down volume intended to hold water if flow stops.
- Freshwater or saltwater: the same WD cabinet is sold for either use.

Dimensions, volumes, flow, bio-ball counts, and intakes are official Eshopps figures. The WD-200 depth is 14 inches.
Will it fit a TRUVU stand?
The WD-200 is 30 × 14 × 16 inches (official Eshopps depth of 14 inches). Under a stand-fit assumption of about 1.5 inches of frame per side, it can fit 36×18 and 48×18 cabinets, but the 14-inch depth is tight in a roughly 15-inch interior. 48×24, 60×24, and 72×24 cabinets have more depth. Height is 16 inches; leave room for the lid, plumbing, and service access. This is an estimate, not an official interior-height specification.
What's included

Shipping
Ships via UPS. Shipping is calculated at checkout. This is an aquarium filter, not an aquarium, so it does not ship as tank freight.
