Guys in this video I have explained for the beginners what is the importance of an aquarium filter. Since it is an artificially created confined place without a filter the small particles in the water and the debris doesn't get removed from the water, which means a dirty aquarium. It is not only dirty to look at it is also harmful to your fishes.
Without the presence of a filter the nitrogen cycle will not happen and fo that your tank will have a lots of ammonia(NH4) from the extra food and fish waste. On the other hand, if you have a filter the beneficial bacteria will start to grow in your filter media which will convert the ammonia(Non bio consumable product) to nitrate(Bio consumable product). As a result you will have a well established and balanced aquarium in which your fish will be very happy and healthy.
Filtration can happen in three processes:
1. Biological filtration.
2. Mechanical filtration.
3. Chemical filtration.
Ceramic rings, Bio ball etc can be used as a biological filtration media. Sponges can be used as a mechanical filtration media and Active carbon can bve used as a chemical filtration media. Sponges and ceramic ball can both be used as a bio filtration media or mechanical filtration media. Mechanical and bio logical filtration goes hand in hand. Chemical filtration is not that important as long as you are not introducing any chemicals to your tank.
Filters can be of three types:
1. Power filters.
2. Canister filters.
3. Dry wet filters or sump filters.
Dry wet filters are not found in India as of now due to there high cost, but it is a very good filter for a very large aquarium or multiple aquariums.
Power head filters are readily available and less expensive compared to any other filters. The only downside is they create a lots of water movement because of which you will loose the dosed CO2. But for the beginners this a perfect choice. If you need more filtration you can always use multiple power filters together.
On the other hand canister filters are fantastic. You can customized it as per your requirement. It sits out side the aquarium so it doesn't occupy any place inside your tank. It creates a much strong movement in the water and also since it is a compact setup you don't loose CO2. It keeps the water crystal clear with a regular water change because of multiple stages of filtration. Cons for canister filter is however the cost and if the build is not good enough it will make a lots of noise and it may leak the water.
So, if you are planning to go for a canister filter do your research, do some reviews on the product and then buy it.
Maintenance of the filter:
Just keep in mind just like any other thing you will need to clean your filter as well other wise they will get clogged and will not function properly. One word of caution is when ever you are cleaning any of your aquarium filters or decorations don't wash them with tap water otherwise if you have chlorine or chloramine in your tap water the beneficial bacteria will die and you will face a sudden spike of ammonia or nitrite in your tank which will kill your fishes. Moreover if you are setting up a new tank or a new filter first four to six weeks don't change the media or do any maintenance for your filter and let the beneficial bacteria settle down and form a colony.
