The two parts are usually connected using nylon bolts and nuts. On most models, water overflows into the waterfall cup from the water surface in the aquarium. A siphon tube delivers water from the waterfall cup inside the tank, over the side of the aquarium, and into the prefilter box. The water then passes through a sponge prefilter element, and feeds via gravity, into the filter below the aquarium. Some hang-on prefilters are of the "continuous-siphon" type. These prefilters actually have a built-in channel which allows the water to travel over the side of the tank without us

An example of a balanced freshwater aquarium would be a 55 gallon tank, heavily planted with only about

Valves are not emphasized here as they add considerably to expense, are generally not needed, and complicate a delightfully simple application to excess (creating a "juggling act" with one adjustment affecting all). Another concern is that if the manifold does not have enough outlets, there will be undue pressure placed on the pump (generally harmless for magnetic drives, but perhaps harmful to direct drives). On the opposite end of the spec

The second largest usually becomes the breeding male, while all the other fish remains juveniles and gender-neutral. If the breeding female disappears, the breeding male will change to a female, and so on. Buying an established pair maybe a reasonable way to go, but it is often better to have a group of juveniles growing up together.
