Instruction
1. The filter is a necessary thing in your aquarium. This equipment is divided into two views: internal which will be is in an aquarium, and, of course, external (this filter will be installed out of an aquarium). It is necessary to select a type of the filter depending on aquarium volume. Also there are filtering materials which are applied to mechanical and biological water purification: activated carbon, expanded clay or ceramic filler.
2. The internal aquarian filter consists of the pump and a sponge. Through a sponge the polluted water is passed, and comes out clean. It is possible to use such filter in small aquariums to 200 liters. The sponge filter needs to be cleaned and, in process of wear, to replace new. The efficiency of the filter will depend on the size, type and power.the filter for an aquarium."" src= ""https://st03.kakprosto.ru/tumb/680/images/article/2011/6/24/1_52550c98d71ab52550c98d71e8.jpg"" of srcset= ""https://st03.kakprosto.ru/tumb/340/images/article/2011/6/24/1_52550c98d71ab52550c98d71e8.jpg 340w,https://st03.kakprosto.ru/tumb/550/images/article/2011/6/24/1_52550c98d71ab52550c98d71e8.jpg of 550w,https://st03.kakprosto.ru/tumb/680/images/article/2011/6/24/1_52550c98d71ab52550c98d71e8.jpg 680w"" of sizes= "" (max-width: 414px) 340px, (max-width: 668px) 550px, 680px"">
3. External aquarian filters have a canister. This canister always is out of an aquarium. Two hoses depart from such filter. From one hose water gets to a canister, and through another comes out back in an aquarium. When water gets to a canister, there are several steps of mechanical, chemical and biological cleaning. Such filter is used for big aquariums or in aquariums of smaller volume. At a small aquarium the level of pollution of water does not allow to hold the internal filter. Some filters can be combined with the compressor, that is together with water purification can oxygenate water and also with an ultra-violet lamp.the filter for an aquarium."" src= ""https://st03.kakprosto.ru/tumb/680/images/article/2011/6/24/1_52550c98d933852550c98d9376.jpg"" of srcset= ""https://st03.kakprosto.ru/tumb/340/images/article/2011/6/24/1_52550c98d933852550c98d9376.jpg 340w,https://st03.kakprosto.ru/tumb/550/images/article/2011/6/24/1_52550c98d933852550c98d9376.jpg of 550w,https://st03.kakprosto.ru/tumb/680/images/article/2011/6/24/1_52550c98d933852550c98d9376.jpg 680w"" of sizes= "" (max-width: 414px) 340px, (max-width: 668px) 550px, 680px"">
