In our opinion, Power Compact bulbs are one of the most valuable innovations in the aquarium hobby in recent years. Power Compact bulbs consist of U-shaped fluorescent tub

for wet-dry filters). These towers employ a media and circulation in an attempt to optimize filter surface area, and per-unit circulation/conversion efficiency. They work; and are especially useful in Large, crowded (as in wholesale) systems with widely vacillating bio-loads.

Other filters focus on the removal of the "end-product" of crowded closed marine systems, nitrates.
