Mechanical filter methods for the aquarium: clarity and freshness for the underwater paradise
In the fascinating world of aquascaping and also in conventional aquaristics, mechanical filter methods play a decisive role. They are instrumental in maintaining clear and healthy water quality in the aquarium.
Mechanical filtration methods are techniques and materials developed to filter impurities and solids, mulch or leaf material from the water.
The way mechanical filtration methods work is quite simple, but extremely effective. The aquarium water is passed through filter media such as ceramic cylinders, sponges or textiles. The dirt particles and solids in the water are retained by the fine-pored materials due to their size. This leads to clearer and cleaner water in the aquarium.
Pre-filtering with mechanical methods can protect other filter media from clogging, which extends the life of the filter system.
Mechanical filtration methods are crucial for successful aquarium management. They ensure clarity and freshness in the underwater paradise.
