For people who love fish, a good fish tank is a domestic necessity, but often we can't pick a fish tank. Big or small? Which one of these filters should i choose? How can you buy a fish tank that's so easy to use
From a fish breeder to the present, there is an ecosystem of a fish tank, during which a number of pits have been stepped, and some selection experiences on the fish tank have been shared。
I. How do we pick a fish tank
If one of the most important parameters is to select the fish tank, i think it is the filter system, followed by the tank, the light and other aids. When i started choosing the fish tank, i folded over the filter。
1. Filter selection
The filtration principles of fish-breeding in fish tanks are, inter alia, the removal of fish defecation and impurities, the maintenance of clean water quality and the creation of aquatic ecosystems to meet the survival needs of fish。
Fish rearing in fish tanks is generally conducted by physical and biochemical filtering。
Physical filtration is the removal of impurities from water, the maintenance of the cleanliness of water bodies and the avoidance of harmful contamination by the presence of impurities to the health of fish
Biochemical filtration is the use of useful micro-organisms (mainly nitrosis) to remove the small impurities left behind by physical filtration and to convert harmful substances to beneficial substances, and to adapt water bodies to fish survival and healthy growth through ecological cycles。
In short, physical filtering is heavy work, the first level of filtering is to remove impurity particles from water; biochemical filtering is to do fine work, to do work that physical filtering cannot do, and to convert harmful substances into useful substances。
There are 12 filters on the market and seven filters appear more frequently. The seven filter systems are: upper cycle filters, drip filters, back and side filters, bottom filtration, exterior filtration, attached filters, built-in filters。
So what kind of filter should we choose
Advantages and disadvantages of filtering principles
Top cycle filter (filter)
On top of the aquarium, pumped to the filter, filtered through filters such as cotton, biochemical cotton and then flowed back through the pipes to the aquarium. Lee
It's expensive, easy to maintain
It's not beautiful. It's not much space. It's gonna increase co2 flight
Dripping filter (leak filter)
The first layer consists of physical filters designed to increase soluble oxygen and initially filter impurities. The second layer is biochemical filtration, a hotbed of nitrite bacteria. The third layer is active carbon filtering, which is mainly for desorbing。
Physico-biofiltration, filtering effects better
It's not beautiful. The current is loud
Back and side filters
The inner space of the fish tank is split into small cells, with little gerry filtration and circulation pumps. The spill of water from the fish tank began a series of filters from the first cell, and finally came out of the last one and went into the fish tank。
It doesn't affect the shape of the fish tank
Use of internal space in fish tanks; constant attention to water levels and timely recharge of water。
Bottom cylinder filter
Large filters placed in the bottom cabinet, connected to the main tank through the pipe, and pumped to complete the water cycle。
Whether physical or biofiltration is strong, no space, and it's beautiful
Production costs are high and noise is easy. The pump has to be high power. The bottom cabinet is susceptible to tide
Filters
A closed filtration method, which can be divided into layers, with different filtration materials in each layer, using pumps, to complete the flow of water inside the drums and to form a cycle
No space, little noise, good biofiltration, flexible installation, which can help create currents
Cleaning's troublesome
Walled filter
Semi-confined filters hanging on the walls of the tank, with different filter areas inside, using their own pumps to recycle water inhalation filters within the aquarium and through various filters
It's cheap, it works, it doesn't take space, it's noise control. Okay
The effect is normal and not applicable to the big fish tank
Internal filter
Linking filters to pumps and placing them in water, mainly for fungi
It's easy to install. It's for small casks with grass
It's hard to use the inside of the tank, it's bad for dry and wet separation, water quality management, cleaning
The bottom filtering and filtering are now more popular in the home:
The bottom filter is more suitable for large tanks, and the cleaner the bottom filter is, the better, a simple dry and wet separation box and a spill, as it maximizes the space of the filter and maximizes the area attached to the nitrified bacteria
Leaching is more suitable for small tanks and for new entry
Leaching and backfiltration are generally the kind of tatters that feed the walls, and they are big bodies of water, with little domestic use. 2. Tight selection
The first is capacity and the second is material. In general, the size of a small fish picks a small tank, the size of a big fish chooses a large tank, and then the number of fish you intend to have. In general, the office desktop fish tank recommends 30 cm up and down; the bedroom fish recommends 50 - 80 cm; and the living room fish recommends 80 - 150 cm。
Focusing on materials, the overall structure consists of two parts, the upper half of the tank and the lower half of the bottom。
The glass of the tank is very sophisticated, and the overall glass classification is superwhite glass, ordinary floats, mac and steel-coated glass。
The market is now dominated by floating glass and superwhite glass, which cut its face green and contained some iron ion to increase the strength of the glass. Superwhite glass is also a floating process, and it's called "superwhite glass." super-white glass slices are blue, with fewer iron ions, better permeability, less colourful than normal float glass。
Superwhite glass is more bright and sharper than floating glass, and it's better to watch. It's a little expensive, but the fish tank is bright, it's not colorish, it looks tall. It is an ideal option to make a cask, an air tank, by putting it in the house directly to raise indoor paint。
The contents of the bottom cupboards of the fish tank are broadly divided between aluminium alloy cabinets and solid wood bottom cabinets, both of which are highly priced, but of equal intensity, and individuals feel that they can choose according to their preferences and budget。
3. Light selection
The main role of lights is to provide a light source for photosynthesis of plants, green algae and to promote ecological cycles, followed by lighting. The market is now dominated by fluorescent lamps, led lamps, and fluorescent lamps are mainly cheap, which is the fluorescent lights we see on a daily basis. Led lamps are energy-efficient and have a long life, mainly light from semiconductors, and are expensive. So if you can get a led, you don't have a fluorescent。
4. Other supporting options
It is also important that the fish tank select other supporting parameters, such as constant temperature, oxygen, etc. Temperature is largely based on heating sticks, while the prevailing market is the quartz-heated rod, which is stronger than the glass-heated bar, and the freshwater seawater is applicable, but the price is more expensive than the glass。
Oxygen is mainly made of oxygen pumps, and higher-end gas can be used。
What's a good brand for a fish tank
In the case of fish tanks, it is recommended to buy well-known brand names, after all, that the tank is the home of the fish, with a slight imprudent direct concern for their safety。
1 samson
The fish tank brand has to mention samson, basically sam, our colleague. It's got brand selection difficulties. It's been 30 years, old brand. From the little fish tank to the dragon tank。
This is the entry money that samson filters, with super white glass, with a liquid crystal screen to control the light, eight coloured lights, silent water pumps with their own oxygen, and high oxygen size。
Like this bottom filter, the value is high and it's beautiful, the glass is clear and bright, the filtration tanks are dry and wet, and the biochemical filtration silos are increased and the bacteria are more visible. There's a sewer at the bottom of the tank, one key。
If you think of larger sizes, it's more quality than this, and the aluminium alloy bottom cabinets make a modern medium style, very atmospheric, and the led lamps control the transfer of colours, which are packaged. Water is free throughout the year。
2. Benmei
Their little fish casks are unique, and they know it at first sight, with three-sided filters, three-dimensional impregnated filtration systems, physical biochemical combinations, and layers of fast water purification. And every part can be removed, it is easier to clean, light can be adjusted by one key, 16 colors are optional. There are also many types of colours that are more suitable for modern young families。
Their big fish casks also have their own characteristics, and each fish has a suitable steel type, such as a blue silo for a low water level goldfish, such as lansau, and, of course, other fish. The bottom filter structure is simple but useful. Double-layer dry and wet separation boxes, multifunctional bottom filter cells used for physical and biochemical filtering。
3. Geometry of painting (simplified wind, intelligent, self-fed rice)
If you're more intelligent, you can look at the geometry of drawings. It's simple, but smart. Little acoustic synthetics, mi's ap remote control, with a remote feeding function, without hand, called love. Uv lactating algae, 16 million panchromatic lights. A professional-level back-filtration system, an intelligent variable frequency water pump, can replace water with a single key。
4. Genesis (values in smart fish tanks)
If smartness is considered, but the price above is considered to be high, it is possible to look at the era of origin and a simple industrial wind. You can link to bluetooth app, pie app, so you can get smart management to get light adjustments, pump openings, lock control, timing, etc. Full spectra, closer to sunlight, is suitable for grass and fish growth. Large filters, large loops, high filters lower the frequency of water exchange. There is also a green-planted area above which fish can be grown under flowers。
Five, yee
The brand is based on large and medium-sized fish tanks, such as the living room, with no frame of sight, large floor filters, dry and wet separation, and a single water exchange that lasts for months. There are also exclusive fish toilets that separate the excreta and have clearer water quality。
Six, chalk
If you buy large and medium-sized fish tanks, which are more quality-oriented, you can consider butterflies. This high-clean super-white glass is designed with a wider view. There is also a unique structure of a dry-wet separation fungi drawer designed for the butterflies. The bottom filter has also been expanded and replaced with a single key。
Seven, guanjiang
It's also the old brand of a fish tank. It's more of a big- and medium-sized fish tank. It's like this one where the masters of a fish-style fish tank play a professional lobster tank, using the bottom frame of solid wood. Super white sideless glass, dry wet separation of one key of sewage, separation of fish toilet dung and long-term exemption from water exchange. It's very low-sounding underwater design to reduce current noise。
Lake tsing (specialized dragonfish tank, top option for fish farming)
If you're playing with dragonfish, you must've heard of loch. There's nothing but price. It has its own patent for inventions, its use of water purification techniques in the eichmann biochemical chain, which can efficiently and in depth process water from the leaching system, and which does not contain any pipe in the tank and no spills, thus ensuring that the dragonfish are free from stress. The ike ptc heaters are safe from water outages, and the heating works well. The uvc is configured at the bottom of the fish tank, which is a good inhibition of algae。
In general, if you buy small fish cisterns, nason, bainmi, painting geometry, origin science are good choices; if you buy large and medium fish cisterns, nason, yee-like, butterflies, guanjiang and shuang lake can be considered。
