Fluval's official AquaClear product page states verbatim, for item 19615 (AC70): "300 US GPH / 1136 LPH" maximum flow, "40-70 US Gal / 152-265 L" tank capacity (top of range used), dimensions "8.5in L x 6.1in W x 8.6in H", power "7W (120V/60Hz)" / "5W (230-240V/50Hz)", and included media of one Bio-Foam, one Carbon, one BIOMAX, and one Intake Sponge insert. The retail packaging (used as the image) prints "SUPERIOR 4 STAGE FILTRATION", "FOR AQUARIUMS 40-70 US Gal", and "PUMP OUTPUT 300 US GPH", confirming media_stages=4 and the flow/tank figures. Aquatic Warehouse's listing independently confirms the $79.99 US price. media_capacity_l and self_priming are null for the same reasons given for the AC110 (no liter figure or priming statement on any fetched page).
