Re: filters in aquarium
It works at mechanical level to remove floating/ suspended matter and biological level by reducing toxic ammonia and nitrites to less harmful nitrate which can either be consumed by plants or removed during water change.

Re: filters in aquarium
But filtration depends upon the filter material like it have some sponge material or should i replace it something else?sushant wrote:It works at mechanical level to remove floating/ suspended matter and biological level by reducing toxic ammonia and nitrites to less harmful nitrate which can either be consumed by plants or removed during water change.

Re: filters in aquarium
If you want stable and good results, go for canisters. These internal filters also works well but need to clean regularly. Sponge is enough.vikas wrote:But filtration depends upon the filter material like it have some sponge material or should i replace it something else?sushant wrote:It works at mechanical level to remove floating/ suspended matter and biological level by reducing toxic ammonia and nitrites to less harmful nitrate which can either be consumed by plants or removed during water change.
