Water filtration in an aquarium is essential, without a filter the water would have to be changed every day. You must choose the filter according to the volume of the water, the number of fish, and its characteristics. Used to retain suspended solids in water and also to degrade and transform certain organic and chemical compounds.
To properly filter your water, you can use an internal or external filter and must be adapted to the volume of your aquarium and its population. The presence of filter masses ( carbon , ceramic noodles , cotton wool, etc. ) inside will ensure biological filtration, by batteries, and mechanical filtration of the aquarium water.
The filter can be positioned horizontally or vertically, in a corner of the aquarium and completely immersed in the water to create a current and oxygenate the water.
We recommend cleaning the foam at least once a month to avoid filter malfunction.
The foam is replaced when it is no longer functional after multiple cleanings. If you notice that despite cleaning the foam, the water is not being cleaned well, then you will need to replace the foam.
On the technical side, your filter should make a little vibrating noise and you should see the water stirring. If it works, you will notice it by the cleanliness of the water, if your filter is working well, but your water is not clean, it is the foam. Remember to clean and/or change them before throwing away your filter.
The best filter should be the one that suits the size of the aquarium and your population. You have the choice between an internal filter for small and medium sized aquariums, external filters for larger volumes, waterfall for the aesthetic side.
It is generally recommended that the filter flow rate be 2 to 3 times the aquarium volume per hour. Therefore, in a 100 liter aquarium, a filter with a flow rate of 300 L/H is recommended.
In an internal filter it is simply placed in the center of the foam, in a decanter filter or an external filter it will be placed at the very top. Remember to clean the carbon before inserting it into the filter.
