Aquarium Hexagon Stands

On the positive side, the hang-on attachment for mounting these powerheads to the side of an aquarium makes a secure connection, and is really my preference regardless of brand. Forget about the suction cups and hook the pump off of the side of the tank, that way it is very unlikely to fall down, start blowing sand or

Im a big fan of canister type power filters for several reasons; they require the least care, have the longest cycling/maintenance intervals, dont rely on gravity, adapt and can quickly to increased bioload/overfeeding. The best units use very little electricity and have long lasting, reusable media.

Wet-dry, reef or trickle filters employ a separate open filter utility/sump, a draining and pumping water-return mechanism along with various remoted filtration components. They typic

will enter your system (mainly through the air). By using some, a mix, or all the methods mentioned above for introducing and boosting beneficial bacterial growth, you will realize a progression, growth of bacterial populations that will result in an increase at first of ammonia, then compounds called nitrites (made by bacteria converting, adding oxygen to ammonia), then in turn nitrates (made from further adding oxygen to the nitrites by another group of bacteria). This process of converting ammonia to nitrite to nitrate is termed nitrification. It is the principal way aquari

Dutch/Wet-Dry/Trickle Filtration: Next

During the late seventies, up through the 1980s and continuing with refinements, the modified sewage treatment technology was/has been/is a great leap forward in improving and maintaining better water quality. To a large degree, these units not only herald, but brought on the mini-reef revolution in aquarium keeping.

Such systems employ a wet and dry area above a separate sump to promote the activity of nitrifying microbes, outside of the disturbances of the main tank. The trickled outflow is well-ox

The gearing routinely gets gummed up and fails to create the back and forth flow rendering them to nothing more than a standard powerhead. And, if that was not bad enough, they are not particularly powerful units either.

Conclusion

As I stated briefly before, wavemakers are not necessary to get good coral growth or coloration, but they can add a dramatic visible effect to the di
