Fish tank filters and pumps are a necessary part of an aquarium system. They remove contamination and ensure that the water does not become stagnant. Reasons for using fish tank filters

Fish tank filters remove harmful fish waste and bacteria from the water in your aquarium. Different types of filters work in different ways however they all have one thing in common – they work to keep the water clean and clear and at an appropriate PH level for your fish. Coldwater, tropical and marine aquariums all require fish tank filters and pumps. Types of fish tank filters There are several types of filters however the most popular types are internal filters, filters that hang on the back of the tank (HOB filters) and canister filters.co2 for aquarium diy Internal filters go inside the tank whereas HOB filters hang outside of the tank. 3 foot fish tank cabinetCanister filters are external from your tank and the water is siphoned through tubes to the filtering device.55 gallon fish tank inches

There are good and bad elements to each filter depending on your fish’s needs, the sizer of your tank and the space you have available. Buying a fish tank filter online should be fairly simple. You just need to research the advantages and disadvantages of each type and decide what one is the best for you. You’ll also need to know the exact size of your tank. To make it easier, with each listed filter we include a recommended tank size to use it with.custom fish tank seattleWater filtration at the best of times can be confusing for a new comer and it can also be very complicated for even the very experienced. custom fish tanks san antonioBecause of this we have written this article explaining in an easy to understand format, how it all works.  corner fish tank hood

Most people believe that a filter is only there to keep the tank clean, and remove free floating debris. Although this is one aspect of what a filter does, there is a much more important thing that a filter is used for. There are three types of water filtration. This filtration of water is done by passing the water through a screen, or a thin piece of sponge, or through some filter wool, all of which remove pieces of debris from the water. This filtration is done by passing the water through small pieces of specialised filter media. The most common ones are Carbon, Purigen, Zeolite and Bio Chem Zorb. We recommend all aquatic animals have some Purigen and or Bio Chem Zorb in the filter. This filtration is the most important and is done best having a filter which not only has foam or wool in it, but also has some ceramic noodles, bio balls or some other kind of bacteria attracting media. This biological filtration is the key to growing "good" bacteria in your tank to break down pollution and keep your tank water nice and healthy for your inhabitants.

Initially in a new tank there is no good bacteria, and it can take 2-8 weeks for it to grow. We call this period "cycling" of your new tank. The most common ways to cycle a tank is to add some cheap fish which will provide the neccessary pollution for the good bacteria (nitrifying bacteria) to feed off. The other way is to slowly stock you tank while adding products like Stabilty or Cycle to help speed up the growth of the good bacteria. In a new tank Ammonia (NH3) usually spikes in the first two weeks until bacteria grows to break it down. Once Ammonia is all gone there is a secondary spike of Nitrite (NO2) which again needs more good bacteria to break this down. Once there is no Ammonia or Nitrite present we say our tank is "cycled" which means our tank is now running nicely with enough good bacteria to deal with the pollution (Ammonia and Nitrite). We still need to be careful not to put too much pollution into the tank (i.e livestock and food) at any one time so our bacteria population can grow at the same rate as our increasing pollution level.

In a tank with the correct size filter, livestock population, feeding regime, and regular partial water changes, your tank should never get Ammonia or Nitrite again. Now that our tank is all running smoothly and we have no Ammonia and Nitrite we will now start to get some Nitrates (NO3). This is what our filter has turned our Ammomnia and Nitrites into. When kept at low levels this is harmless to our tanks inhabitants. Regular partial water changes and the use of Purigen and or Bio Chem Zorb will help to keep Nitrates at an acceptable level. Although we refer that the "tank" that is now cycled it is really the filter that has gone through the main process, as this is where most of our good bacteria will be. These filters are one of the most popular but unfortunately it is due to their low cost and not because of their high performance. Sponge filters rely on the sponge for both mechanical and biological filtration and with only a small area on the sponge for bacterial growth they are really only suitable for smaller tanks and are very rarely recommended by us unless when filtering very small amounts of water.

These are a much better option than just plain sponge filter as the also have a section for adding filter medium like noodles. This enables a much larger surface area for good bacteria growth without relying solely on the sponge for all aspects of filtration. The Fluval U2, U3 and U4 have this media compartment as well as the Hailea RP 600. These are suitable for 25 litres up to around 200 litres depending on what is being kept in the tank. Under gravel Filters are one of the oldest kinds of filtration and are still popular with some even today. Although quite good as a biological filter as they pull water through the gravel creating a good surface area for bacteria they have many flaws. The main problems are they do not have a mechanical aspect to them which means they just pull all the waste to the bottom of the tank. The other is that if your turtles or fish expose any of the under-gravel plate, water will pass through that section rather than through the gravel which in turn will stop the biological aspect of the filter.

These filters can be quite effective as they can accommodate all 3 areas of filtration. They will only work reliably in a tank that is full of water so they are not suitable for turtles. They are generally designed for tanks that are under 100 litres. Keep in mind that these filters trickle water back into the tank so they will be a bit noisier than others. These filters are generally the most preferred due to the ability to put plenty of filter media in them. There are a wide range available on the market to suit all sizes of tanks. Always check to see what type of and how much media they come with as some may appear cheap due to having no media in them which basically makes them a sponge filter. Always check with us to see what size is suitable for your tank, but turning the water over at least 3 times per hour is usually recommended. One of the best filters for biological, mechanical and chemical filtration. The reason they are so effective is they are not limited by the amount of oxygen in the water as the media has the water trickling through it rather than being submersed in water.
