External filters are the best way to keep water clean and healthy in larger aquariums. Placed outside the aquarium, they make it possible to keep all the space in the tank for your decoration and your fish.
External filters are made up of several stacked baskets containing filter media such as ceramic filters, activated carbon and foams of different sizes. An external filter makes it possible to retain impurities of all sizes thanks to mechanical filtration but also to reduce the nutrients (NO3) of the water thanks to the millions of purifying bacteria which colonize it.
Why install an external aquarium filter?
An external freshwater aquarium filter is a filter that is placed outside the aquarium, usually in or near the cabinet. The water is sucked up by the filter thanks to a suction rod placed in the water, it is then filtered and returned to the aquarium by an outlet nozzle.
Using an external aquarium filter has several advantages. First of all, they allow better filtration because they have more space for filter media. The water is therefore cleaner and cleaner for your fish, the risk of disease is limited.
Finally, the external filters are easy to maintain as the device is positioned outside the water. Thanks to the different baskets constituting an internal filter, it is very quick and easy to clean and replace foams and filtration media.
