Aquarium filter materials are the most important part for maintaining the stability of water quality for fish tanks. Their reasonable combination and application directly affect the efficiency of the nitrification system and the health of fish.
Now we introuduce the selection and usage of the aquarium filter material for you .
Classification of fitler material
First :Physical filter material
1.Filter sponge
2.Biochemical sponge
Second:Chemical filter material
1.Activated carbon
2.Ion exchange iron
Third :Biochemical filter material
1.Ceramic ring /bio glass ring
2.Far infrared bacterial house ring
3.Mainfan stone
Comparison of filter material characteristics
| Filters | Function | Use life | Application | Pay attention |
| Filter sponge | Physically intercept large particles | 1-3 months | The first layer of all filters | Clean frequently to avoid blockage |
| Activated carbon | Adsorb pigments and drugs | 3-6 months | Short-term water purification | Remove immediately after saturation |
| Bio ceramic ring | Cultivate nitrifying bacteria | Above 2 years | The middle layer of filters | Clean them when your first usage |
| Bacterial house | High-efficiency biological filtration | 3-5 years | Bottom of the filters /Large filter chamber | Upright placement enhances water flow efficiency |
