German term or phrase: Fertigfilter
The term is used for filters that are ready to be installed in the aquarium, i.e. they are already filled with media. This is in contrast to the category of "Leergehäuse", which are housings that still need to be filled with media. "Fully equipped" perhaps, or "ready to use"? I am just wondering whether there is a specific term for this among the fishkeeping community. Thanks.
