Why are outside power filters good for filtering my aquarium?

External aquarium pumps are very powerful pumps that pull water out of the aquarium as well as return filter water back to the aquarium. In addition, external pumps are used in order to run protein skimmers and different types of filters such as canister filters.

Both AquaClear and Fluval are trusted filter brands. Here is the one that we use and it has not caused us any problems so far.

Yes. There are both internal and external filters. External filters are normally hung outside the aquarium or placed under it inside the aquarium stand. Some of these filtration systems include power filters and canister filters.

Power filter are much easier to maintain and as effective as the others. A siphon tube pulls water from the tank into the filter box and passes the water though a mechanical filter. Then the sponge doubles as a biological filter. An internal pump then returns the filtered water into the aquarium. The advantage is that the foam sponge can be easily inspected for clogging or removed for cleaning therefore reducing bacterial loss.

Mainly there are seven different types of filtering systems. The humble corner filter, the Undergravel Filters, the Sponge filters, the Power filters, The Canister filter, the Dry Filters and the Wet Filters .

The best aquarium filters are the ones located outside the tank. Hang on filters such as the penguin or emperor bio wheel filters are two of the best filters out there but you should be aware of the fact that they can get pretty pricy.

Probably some debris or a mechanical fault stopping it causing the motor to get hot, strip it and give a good clean.

It is notalways easy to find used aquarium products locally that are in good condition. Iwas able to locate a number of used filters that are compatible with saltwater. You should choose the best onebased on price, product rating, seller rating and tank . Here is a link to the search on EBay:http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=used+aquarium+filters&_sacat=0&_odkw=salt+water+aquarium+filter+used&_osacat=0&_from=R40

A filter maintains a natural environment that for fish thatbalances the good and bad bacteria in the tank. Additionally, a filter can remove toxins, chemicals and other unwantedmaterials from the water. The filterworks by taking water in from the tank and returning it clean.A pump is just a pump. It pumps air into the tank and creates bubbles, and sometimes a current. It does not clean the tank or balance thebacteria and PH like a filter does.
