Classification Of Fish Tank Filter Material

I believe that many people use fish tank filters or fish. But there are so many people in the market that it is not clear how to choose. Today I will briefly summarize the fish tank filter material for you.

Although there are many kinds of Filter Cotton, it not only plays an important role in ornamental fish farming, but also plays an important role in water quality filtration. But there are two simple categories of fish tank filters.

1. fish tank filter media - physical filter cotton
It is mainly used to filter feces and food residues from ammonia nitrogen sources in fish tanks. Because these substances are filtered, the density is naturally higher, because some residues are not easy to slip away, resulting in poor filtering effect. There are many colors on the market, such as blue and green, but the classic is white, and some names are very nice, such as magic carpet, magic bag, PP cotton, which are essentially physical filter cotton. Dense textured physical filter cotton.
2. Filter Media For Fish Tank - biochemical filter cotton
This cotton is mainly used to cultivate nitrifying bacteria, and the density is not as high as that of physical filter cotton. Its internal expansion is a porous structure, typically rattan cotton, with a relatively large thickness just to allow more places for nitrifying bacteria to multiply and expand the population. However, it should be noted that both biochemical filter cotton and physical filter cotton have the function of culturing nitrifying bacteria, but the structure of biochemical filter cotton is more suitable for the mass reproduction of nitrifying bacteria. In the filtration system, the more nitrifying bacteria drop, the better.
