The functions of fish tank accessories mainly include the following aspects:
Filter: The filter is one of the most important accessories in the fish tank. It can effectively filter out impurities and waste in the water of the fish tank and maintain the cleanliness and health of the water. Common filters include built-in filters and external filters. The selection of the appropriate filter needs to be determined according to the size and type of fish tank.
Water pump: The water pump is mainly responsible for the circulation of water and the supply of oxygen, so that the water in the fish tank remains flowing and fresh, and dead water areas are prevented from forming in the water. The water pump can also be used to increase the water flow, simulate the water flow conditions in the natural environment, and promote the growth and health of fish.
Heater: Water temperature is one of the key factors for the health of fish. The fish tank heater can help keep the water temperature within a suitable range. Depending on the size of the fish tank and the type of fish, different power heaters need to be selected.
Lighting equipment: Proper lighting conditions help the growth of aquatic plants and the normal activities of fish. In a well-lit environment, fish will be more energetic and bright colors will be more obvious. Common lighting equipment includes T5 tube lights and LED lights.
Oxygen pump: The oxygen pump can increase the oxygen content in the fish tank and keep the water clean and healthy. Some larger fish tanks or fish tanks with more plants in the water may need to be equipped with an oxygen pump to maintain the oxygen content in the water.
Thermometer and electronic measuring instrument: Thermometer can help detect the water temperature of the fish tank, and promptly discover and solve the problem of too high or too low water temperature. Electronic measuring instruments can test the water quality in the fish tank, including indicators such as pH value, ammonia nitrogen and nitrate, so as to understand the water quality in time and take measures to maintain the health of the water.
Other accessories: Such as the water suction pipe is used to suck out the dirt on the bottom of the fish tank when changing water; the fish net is used to catch and transfer ornamental fish; the thermostat is used to automatically control the temperature in the fish tank, etc.
