Aquarium Supplies Blue Tilapia

Because of this I rarely use them, but they do have a couple of interesting options that are worth mentioning.

These pumps can be purchased with a kit to use them in a reverse flow undergravel filter. In a conventional undergravel filter, water is pulled down through the gravel, under the filter plate, and up the lift tube. In this mode the beneficial bacteria in the substrate act as a biological filter, while the substrate itself acts as a crude mechanical filter as it traps dirt and debri

The water at the bottom of the filter is fresh and high in dissolved oxygen, so aerobic bacteria cultivate in the bottom half of the sand bed, and remove ammonia and nitrite, using up oxygen in the process. In taller fluidized-bed filters, enough aerobic bacteria cultivate in the bottom half so that as water flows past them, they remove most of the oxygen from the water, so facultative anaerobic bacteria cultivate in the top half of the sand bed where they remove nitrates. Not all fluidized-bed filters are tall enough to promote anaerobic denitrifying ba

Some plastic pots tend to vibrate when you put everything together. Ceramic bowls are more s

Discussions of the specifics of filtration are split between what youre trying to remove (e.g. ammonia, nitrate), what gear is used (skimmers, cartridge filters), or the processes (chemical, physical, biological) involved. We will take the last approach in elaborating the terms and tools of most use and interest to marine aquarists.
