Aquarium filters

A well-functioning filter in an aquarium performs many important tasks, which we will try to explain to you.

In addition to visible impurities, the aquarium filter removes harmful ammonia for plants and fish, converting it into useful nitrogen. Through the aquarium water filter, friendly bacteria settle in the tank that benefit living organisms. Even in a small tank where fish are kept, the aquarium filter must work continuously, which forces us to look for devices with low power consumption and low noise emission. Every aquarist must consider what type of filter to choose for their aquarium - there are many options here, as manufacturers of aquarium equipment compete in the quality and efficiency of filters. In our store Aquario, you will find several types of water filters. The most commonly chosen ones are placed outside, which saves a lot of space in the tank. They usually come in larger sizes, which provides better filtration capabilities. Among external filters, canister filters are the most popular, which you can purchase in our store as a complete set with a pump and hose.

If space-saving is not a concern, you can opt for internal aquarium filters, which often also serve the purpose of aeration. It is worth remembering to clean the filter and replace the filter media, which are usually made of sponge, where all impurities are trapped. In our store, you will also find gravel suction filters that draw water from the tank, passing it through a substrate layer, cleaning the aquarium of all impurities. This type of water filter can be more demanding than universal internal filters. Many types of filters that clean both the bottom and the water surface in the aquarium can be found in our store Aquario.
