The 6 best fish tank filtration materials

Filter cotton, biochemical cotton, ceramic ring, biochemical ring, bacteria house, bottom sand, zeolite.

One is filter cotton. Filter cotton is also the most basic and primitive fish tank filter media, can not be more primitive. The role is very simple, is the physical filtration, filtering the bottom of the fish tank some food debris and fish feces, and then dirty and then cleaned.

Clean to can no longer clean, clean to this piece of filter cotton rotten, then change the new, very simple and effective. But remember the filter cotton is only physical filtration.

The second is biochemical cotton. Biochemical cotton looks a bit like filter cotton, because they are cotton. But we can distinguish it from the color.

Generally, the filter cotton is more soft and white, while the biochemical cotton density is not so soft, usually black or blue. Then biochemical cotton can not only physical filtration, but also simple biochemical filtration, that is, they have some of the basic ability to culture and digest bacteria, so biochemical cotton is a multi-functional integrated aquarium filtration equipment.

Third, ceramic ring, biochemical ring. Sometimes also called ceramic cup, biochemical cup. In fact, just a different name, the same structure. Their main role is to carry out biochemical filtration, mainly for the cultivation of nitrifying bacteria and other probiotics. These ceramic ring biochemical ring itself belongs to the porous structure.

Fourth is the bacteria house. In fact, the bacteria house can be understood as an enlarged version of the ceramic ring biochemical ring. Since the use of the effect is almost exactly the same, that is, for biochemical filtration, the cultivation of nitrifying bacteria and other probiotic effect. Unlike ceramic rings, used in some large bottom filter aquariums, maintenance is more convenient, higher utilization of filter tank space.

Fifth, the bottom sand. Most of my friends are not quite aware of the filtering effect of the bottom sand, but it is a real presence. Friends who understand sand filtration may feel more y. Even in the bottom of the fish tank scenery, its water quality has a certain filtering effect.

Six is zeolite. One of the biochemical filter material, it is a volcanic sedimentary rock in the liquefaction of organic matter or gasification, the body has a small cavity, this mineral containing aluminosilicate cation adsorption effect, at the same time can absorb the water in the "ammonia" and other impurities.

Fish tank filter material which is better to use:

Filter material is one of the necessary equipment for fish farming, filtration is divided into physical and biochemical two parts. A good selection of fish tank filtration materials can ensure the stability of the water quality and the health of the fish.

We should choose according to the actual situation when choosing the filter material, the first need to go to figure out what is the reason for their fish tank water quality is not clear, according to the physical and biochemical filtration of the two ways, choose the appropriate filter material.
