How to increase the suction of the fish tank bottom filter, how to clean the filter material

There are two ways to increase the suction power of the fish tank bottom filter, one is to lower the suction port, shorten the distance between the bottom of the tank and the suction port, and the other is to change the high-power filter pump. If you find that the filtration capacity is weakened, you must give the filter material in time to clean up, take out the filter cotton inside and wash it, or simply change a new filter cotton. But do not wash the filter media, or it will destroy the nitrification system. A fish tank bottom filter how to increase suction

Want to strengthen the fish tank bottom filter suction, there are two ways. The first is to lower the suction port of the fish tank a little, shorten the distance between it and the bottom of the tank, so that it can enhance the suction. The second method is to change a more powerful filter pump, but it should be noted that the power of the filter pump is generally suitable for the size of the fish tank, if it does not match, there will be some problems.

Second, how to clean the filter material

1, cleaning interval: the filter material is generally not a fixed cleaning interval, mainly depends on the degree of cleanliness of the water, if you can not change the water before half a month to remain clear, and now we have to change the water once a week, indicating that the effect of filtration deteriorated, it must be cleaned.

2, cleanup method: clean up the filter can not be the whole all over again, as long as the inside of the filter cotton out, and wash off the impurities above. If the filter cotton is already very thin, the filter effect will be worse, cleaning can not be improved, this time it is best to replace the filter cotton.

3, Note: The filter material not only can not be washed frequently, but also can not be washed all over again, in addition to the filter cotton, there is no other need to wash the place, if the entire filter are washed, will lead to parasitic in the filter material on the elimination of beneficial bacteria, so that the deterioration of the water quality will accelerate the speed of the fish's health is not good, and even lead to their death.
