But, as previously stated, they are more durable (regarding wear/abuse and lifespan), and they are more powerful (operating against greater pressure/resistance/head). Yet, some modern external drive pumps are remarkably efficient and competitive. They may use less total energy overall than the number of powerheads required to produce the s

Aquarium additives are used to make new water safe for aquaria and to adjust the chemistry of water. There are two general categories of additives: water conditioners used to make the raw tap water safe for aquaria, and dry or liquid compounds that are used to adjust the pH, hardness and alkalinity of an aquarium.
