Which filtration equipment is better for the fish tank? How to judge and measure the quality of filter equipment? And how to choose the filter material in the fish tank filter? There are many categories, which is reliable and does not spend money?
First of all, we choose fish tank filtration equipment, there is a very hardcore standard, this is basically all forms of fish tank filtration selection standards, no matter what the name of the fish tank filtration, what it looks like, how strange the design is, anyway, if we want to measure the advantages and disadvantages of a fish tank filtration effect, we will stare at this standard: the size of the space to accommodate the filter media. Everyone should pay attention to the size of the fish tank filtration equipment, but the size of the space in which the filter material is placed.
Why so many people say that the bottom filter fish tank effect is good, in fact, the fundamental reason is that the filter tank below it is very large, the filter tank under the standard bottom filter tank can accommodate 50% of the water of the fish tank body, and the filter tank is filled with a variety of biochemical filter media, so it can cultivate a very large number of nitrifying bacteria. Therefore, even if it is a large ornamental fish, even if the density is larger, once the filtration system of this bottom filter fish tank and the nitrifying bacteria system are established, its water purification ability is very strong.
Of course, at this stage, we are very aquarists or relatively rarely touch large fish tanks, so although the bottom filter is good, the actual application will not be very common. The general contact with everyone is the filter barrel, plug-in filter, water goblin, filter box, side filter back filter and so on these small and medium-sized fish tank filtration equipment.
These filtration equipment also follow the above-mentioned standards, no matter what their name is, what the shape is, anyway, as long as the comparison is made, it depends on how large the filter tank is, how many ceramic ring biochemical rings and other biochemical filter materials can be placed. The different names and the update of the shape are actually just some optimizations of the products by the merchants, so that we look at the feeling of "new products", in fact, 90% of the optimizations are chicken ribs, and there is no substantial change in the filter effect of the fish tank.
Next, let's talk about the filter media, which is actually a bit the same.
Now there are many categories of fish tank filter materials, remember that not long ago we also mentioned how to choose fish tank filter materials, we can use it as a review today. No matter how fancy the name of the filter media is, how extraordinary it is. The core role of fish tank filter media is two: physical filtration and biochemical filtration.
The choice of fish tank filter material also only needs two types on the line, one is the main processing of physical filtration of white cotton, its cost is relatively low, and the use is simple, as long as the white cotton is placed in the fish tank water flow at the beginning of the place where the filter tank can be, and then dirty directly with tap water to clean, wash until rotten, or can not wash white on the new.
The other type is the main biochemical filtration (biochemical filtration refers to the treatment of water in the water that we humans are invisible to the naked eye, but harmful to ornamental fish, common ammonia and nitrite) biochemical filter media, which is also the core of fish tank filtration. In addition, please remember that the ratio of the fish tank filter media is: physical filter media: biochemical filter media = 1:4.
Biochemical filter media is currently the most categories of filter media, what nano, infrared, ultraviolet, in fact, most of them are on the basis of the most basic biochemical filter material ceramic ring and bacteria house, added some other things, such as maifanshi, salt, and then add some gimmicks, in order to sell better. In fact, no one or no professional organization tests this to verify whether there is a better water purification effect, and if so, how much better? Therefore, if the budget is limited, the use of simple ceramic ring biochemical rings and bacteria houses of basic biochemical filter media, you can still raise ornamental fish very well, no matter how valuable ornamental fish.
If you also like to raise ornamental fish, you may wish to pay attention to it, all you want for fish farming is here.
