Why Aquarium Filters Are Essential
An aquarium filter maintains the biological balance in your tank and is an essential piece of equipment. It removes suspended particles through mechanical filtration and, with the help of beneficial bacteria, breaks down pollutants such as ammonium, ammonia, and nitrite. In addition, water circulation ensures an even distribution of oxygen, nutrients, and your additives. This keeps your aquarium stable and your inhabitants healthy.
Internal Filter, External Filter, or Hang-On Filter?
Choosing the right filter depends on the size of your aquarium, the available space, and your desired level of maintenance. The following overview provides a quick guide.
Criterion | Internal filter | External filter | Hang-on filter |
|---|
| Tank sizes | approx. 30 to 120 L | 120 liters and up | approx. 20 to 80 L |
| Filter Volume | Medium | High | Low to medium |
| Visibility | In the tank, easy to hide | In the cabinet, not visible | Attached to the edge |
| Maintenance | Easy | Moderate | Very easy |
What filter capacity is right for your aquarium
As a general guideline, the filter should circulate about 1 to 1.5 times the tank volume per hour. In heavily planted or densely stocked tanks, a slightly higher flow rate is recommended to maintain consistent water quality and oxygen levels.
- Mechanical filtration: Filter foam, filter mats, filter fleece, and filter wool remove debris and ensure clear water.
- Biological filtration: Ceramic tubes, sintered glass, or bio-balls provide bacteria with the surface area needed to break down pollutants.
Practical Tips for Using Aquarium Filters
- Cleaning: Rinse mechanical filter media regularly; clean biological media gently in aquarium water only.
- Water Flow: Position the outlet so that it creates even circulation throughout the tank.
- Placement: It’s best to hide internal filters behind plants or decorations to maintain a harmonious overall look.
