Ep: 21. When it comes to filtering an aquarium, there are three types or categories you will want to cover. Chemical filtration such as carbon or GFO media, mechanical filtration like filter socks or skimmers, and finally biological filtration. Biological filtration provides stability and makes the water safely inhabitable for fish and corals ...

The Basic Nitrogen Cycle in The Aquarium: A simple explanation. Fish eliminate most of their waste in the form of ammonia. Ammonia is toxic to most animals, so in a brand new aquarium, the first fish introduced must be very hardy species that are known to be able to tolerate ammonia in the water.

Here's the aquarium nitrogen cycle process summarized in 5 steps: Fish poops in the water. Fish poop and other organic matter release ammonia. Beneficial bacteria grow and convert ammonia to nitrite. A different kind of beneficial bacteria converts nitrite to nitrate. You remove nitrates with water changes and plants.

The answers is YES! Both filters are important, and although one is absolutely critical to keeping your fish healthy (bio-filtration), the other (mechanical) ultimately aids the function of the bio-filter. A bio-filter is needed for the health of your aquarium inhabitants. A system with no bio-filter is just one step away from crashing.

The mechanical filtration is composed of filter floss, sponge, or even special filter pads, that will block most of the particles from the water. A mechanical filter will deliver better results if it is cleaned appropriately and frequently. Regular cleaning of the mechanical filtration will also help in improving water flow through the filter.

The nitrogen cycle begins with ammonia, which enters the aquarium as a byproduct of decaying food and plant matter. This occurs when nitrogen—an essential nutrient to life that is included in all living matter and is also a building block of proteins—breaks down, turning proteins into ammonia. These ammonia-generating …
