Fish tank filter is a device to remove impurities and waste in water and ensure the clean water quality in fish tank. It can remove harmful substances, such as ammonia, nitrate and nitrite, provide a good water environment and ensure the healthy growth of aquatic organisms.
Fish tank filter is mainly composed of filter box, filter material, inlet and outlet pipes, water pump and other parts, and can be installed in different models according to needs.
2, the role of fish tank filter
First of all, fish tank filters can help keep the water clean. Waste and impurities in water will affect the water quality and the growth and health of fish. Filters can filter out these wastes and impurities and keep the water clean.
Secondly, the fish tank filter can maintain the ammonia content in the water. When fish excrete waste, ammonia will be produced, and bacteria will convert ammonia into nitrite and nitrate, which is harmful to fish. Filters can transform these harmful substances through biodegradation.
3. Types of fish tank filters
Fish tank filters can be divided into many types according to the types of filtering materials and operating methods, and the common ones are:
① Mechanical filtration: removing large particles or suspended matter by physical action.
② Biological filter: the bacteria degrade harmful substances.
③ Chemical filtration: removing harmful substances by adsorption or chemical reaction.
(4) Ultraviolet sterilizer: Sterilize by ultraviolet to eliminate bacteria and germs in water.
4. Installation and maintenance of fish tank filter
When installing the fish tank filter, the filter size should be selected according to the comprehensive factors such as the size of the fish tank and the number of fish.
The maintenance of the filter should be carried out according to the instructions for use. Clean the filter regularly and replace the filter material. In addition, the water pump rubber parts, water pipes, consumables, etc. inside the filter should also be replaced regularly to ensure good use effect.
