So what is the best filter for aquarium? Basically, there is no "best" filter. Any filters that provide all three modes of filtration will do a good job for you as long as it is strong enough to handle the size of your tank. But if nearly all the filters are good, then how do you choose? Fortunately only a few criteria affect your decision. First, demand is strong enough filter for your aquarium. A good rule of thumb is that the filter should submit the entire volume of the tank 5 to 10 times every hour. So, for tanks 30 gallons you will need a filter capable of moving 150-300 gallons per hour (GPH). Furthermore, the ease of operation and maintenance is an important factor. If the filter is a pain in the neck to clean and maintain properly, chances are you will not do it as often as you need. Poor maintenance of the filter reduces the efficiency of the filter and thus the health of your fish. The last factor is price. Be sure to consider not only the price of filters, but also the cost of media. Remember that "you get what you pay for" applies here, so avoid anything that seems very cheap.
mechanism of a large filtration system. The reason for this is, expensive top-of-the-line filters for internal filters designed to clean the water very well. However, beware the owner of a turtle, intake components are cheap and not designed with reptiles in mind. A flexible hose connecting the filter to a piece of plastic that plays an integral part in the paint base and hangs at the top of the tank wall. Plastic intake tube that dangles into the water of this section is connected by fitting inside the other and rely on friction to hold them together. If the surface you bask in the tank and the tank because it is not filled to the brim, the connection is open and draw air bubbles into the filter. Red-eared slider fourteen years I have the right to work on trying to destroy the new features in the tank and I finally had to permanently fuse pieces with mendempul aquarium.
By the way, when clamping the hose to the valve and other plastic components, you'll save yourself a few hours and much sweat if you use vegetable oil to lubricate the parts. Instructions are also sub-par.
