Eshopps Manufacturer Warranty
The Eshopps WD-300 is a 4th generation wet/dry (trickle) filter for aquariums up to 300 gallons. Official Eshopps specs are 36 × 16 × 16 inches, 1,075 GPH, 40 gallons total volume and 20 gallons operating volume, with 700 bio-balls and three 1-inch intakes. This filter ships freight (pallet shipping).
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-300 is 36 × 16 × 16 inches. Under a stand-fit assumption of about 1.5 inches of frame per side, it does not fit 36×18 or 48×18 cabinets (length and/or depth exceed those interiors). It fits 48×24, 60×24, and 72×24 cabinets. 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
- Eshopps WD 4th generation wet/dry filter cabinet
- Bio-balls (quantity shown in the specs table)
- Slide-out drip tray with filter-pad access
- Intake fittings as listed in the specs table
The return pump, drain and return plumbing, and replacement filter pads are sold separately.
Shipping
This Eshopps WD-300 wet/dry filter ships by LTL freight on a pallet. Freight is calculated at checkout. Curbside delivery. This is an aquarium filter, not an aquarium, so it does not use tank-gallon freight wording or a free-freight tier.
Warranty
This product is covered by the Eshopps manufacturer warranty only (1 year, plus 1 additional year if you register the product with Eshopps). Proof of purchase from an authorized dealer is required. This is not a TRUVU warranty.
