The applicable environment of fish tank accessories mainly depends on its material and design characteristics. The following are some specific descriptions of common fish tank accessories and their applicable environment:
Acrylic fish tank:
Freshwater environment: Acrylic materials have good corrosion resistance and will not be damaged or release harmful substances due to long-term contact with fresh water, so they are suitable for freshwater aquaculture.
Seawater environment: Acrylic materials are also highly compatible with seawater environments, with excellent salt resistance and corrosion resistance, and can withstand the test of seawater environments, but high-quality acrylic materials need to be selected, and maintenance and cleaning need to be strengthened.
Stream stones, rainforest sand, water grass mud, pebbles, volcanic stones, coral bones, shell sand:
Freshwater fish tank: These materials are suitable for different freshwater fish tank landscaping needs. For example, stream stones are suitable for fish tanks that require natural landscapes, rainforest sand is suitable for tropical fish and water plant tanks, water plant mud is suitable for fish tanks that specialize in raising water plants, and pebbles and rain flower stones are suitable for fish that do not require bottom sand, such as goldfish and koi.
Saltwater fish tanks: Coral bones and shell sand are suitable for seawater reef tanks and seawater ornamental fish. They can simulate the seawater environment and promote the growth of seawater fish.
Filtration system:
Bottom tank filtration: Suitable for large fish tanks. By setting an additional filter tank at the bottom of the fish tank, more biochemical filter materials can be placed in a large space to achieve powerful water purification capabilities, which is suitable for raising medium and large fish.
Drip filtration: Popular for its high filtration efficiency and simple design, suitable for DIY and affordable, but attention should be paid to the load-bearing capacity of the fish tank.
Filter barrel: Small footprint, beautiful and easy to hide, but limited oxygenation capacity, suitable for small to medium-sized fish tanks.
Wall-mounted filtration: Small and beautiful, cheap, but limited filtration capacity, suitable for small tanks or as auxiliary filtration.
Back filter/side filter: Save external space, suitable for fish tanks with limited space, but the filtering effect is average. Drainage system:
Drain pipe: Choose corrosion-resistant and anti-aging materials to ensure that there will be no leakage or cracking during long-term use, and adapt to various complex installation environments.
