What are the five common aquarium filters? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
First, cylinder top filter (on the filter)
The "dry" pumps on the market are generally sold as kits with cylinder top filters. Advantages:
Safe and durable, energy-saving, independent filter combination, one
section of inlet connection pipe, easy to clean. Suitable for a variety of aquarium tanks.
Disadvantages: This filter has a small horsepower effect.
Second, the cylinder upper biochemical filter built-in
The
built-in biochemical filter on the upper layer is designed with a water
film removal device to remove the oil film and increase the
transparency of the water surface. Advantages:
This filter utilizes both physical and biochemical filtration methods
to remove dirt from aquariums and enhance filtration to ensure clear
water quality.
Disadvantages: generally suitable for 40 ~ 8O cm small and medium-sized fish tanks.
Third, the bottom of the cylinder built-in biochemical filter
Similar
to the built-in biochemical filter in the upper layer of the cylinder,
but placed in the bottom layer of the cylinder. Advantages: The same as
the built-in biochemical filter in the upper layer of the cylinder,
except that it does not remove the dirt on the surface. However, the power of the pump is larger and Yang Cheng is higher.
Disadvantages: The same as the built-in biochemical filter inside the cylinder.
Fourth, the bottom of the biochemical filter
Advantages: Freedom to fit according to the size of the fish tank, no noise. The
multi-functional bottom circulating biochemical filter plate can
effectively circulate the bottom, purify the water quality, eliminate
the hidden danger of black spoilage at the bottom, and promote the
smooth flow at the bottom. The
man-made filter cotton and bio-ring are used to cultivate and breed
nitrifying bacteria that purify the water quality and produce a
sand-bottom activation cycle effect. The designed S-shaped pipe allows
the water to circulate in a balanced manner, leaving no dead ends. Applicable to aquatic grass tanks, marine water tanks and any size freshwater fish tanks.
Disadvantages: Grit often causes fouling and requires constant cooking.
Fifth, waterfall flow filter
Advantages:
Full use of physical and biochemical filtration methods to remove dirt
from aquariums, enhance filtration and ensure clear water quality.
Disadvantages:
Falling flow filter, more suitable for the use of a smaller cylinder, a
longer cylinder will make the flow very messy, can not filter the
debris off the bottom of the sediment filter. This
type of filter is not suitable for grass cylinders, otherwise,
excessive flow of the cascade will accelerate the growth of algae,
affecting the appearance of the cylinder.
