Which is better, which is better, which is better, which is better, and how to use ceramic rings to

The so-called ceramic cup is a kind of biological purification of fresh water and seawater to improve the water quality. And about the bacteria house, it is a kind of biological filter material that cultivates nitrifying bacteria. Many friends will ask which of the two materials is better when buying filter media.

In fact, the effect of these two materials is not too much, if you really want to separate the end, the following rabbit will give you a detailed explanation.

First, the characteristics of the ceramic ring.

It can be used for high efficiency in small filters.

Fast-acting - optimal water quality, whether in freshwater or saltwater aquariums.

Keep fish and plants healthy.

Reduce the frequency of water changes.

Extremely long service life.

It does not decompose and is resistant to seawater corrosion.

Can be used in most filters.

Second, the introduction of the bacteriological house.

The bacterial house is cylindrical, hollow and has many small holes on the side, which can make the bacterial house very breathable and permeable, which is conducive to the cultivation and production of nitrifying bacteria. But its disadvantage is that it occupies a large area, and the utilization rate of space is not very high.

The bacterium house is made by firing and needs to be soaked in water before use. Because the bacteriological house achieves the purpose of eliminating harmful substances in the water by cultivating nitrifying bacteria, the effect is relatively slow. During use, a layer of bacterial film will appear on the surface of the bacterial house, and this layer of bacterial film will automatically fall off as its thickness increases.

3. Comparison of the two materials.

Ceramic ring features: small filter to play high efficiency. The action is relatively fast, and both freshwater and seawater aquariums can be used. Extremely long service life. It does not decompose and is resistant to seawater corrosion.

I believe you have a certain understanding of these two materials, the principles of these two materials are different, but the effects are almost the same. You can choose to buy according to your needs. In the market, these two products are not only with such an effect, in fact, there are many more.

I won't introduce it to you here, let's take a look at it.

Both the bacteria house and the ceramic ring are used to cultivate bacteria, but they themselves do not help much for the growth of beneficial bacteria, mainly to provide a space. From a spatial point of view alone, the effect of the bacterial house is better than that of the ceramic ring because the upper limit of the culture is higher. But usually the beneficial bacteria in the fish tank will be maintained to a certain number, so the extra space in the bacteria house is not necessarily useful, and from the point of view of affordability, the ** of the ceramic ring is lower.

1. Put it in the filter box: After the ceramic ring is bought, it needs to be cleaned, and it is best to disinfect it with potassium permanganate to avoid bringing harmful bacteria into the filter. After disinfection, rinse several times to ensure that there is no drug residue, and then place it in the filter cartridge, choosing a good arrangement according to the size of the cartridge.

2. Pour in raw materials: generally culture bacteria need to use some raw materials, they can be added to the growth and reproduction of nitrifying bacteria, of course, it is okay not to use, add a little organic matter to the fish tank, so that the ammonia nitrogen produced after decomposition is also needed for the growth and reproduction of nitrifying bacteria.

3. Turn off the lights and explode oxygen: nitrifying bacteria are aerobic bacteria, so the dissolved oxygen requirements for the water body are relatively high, and it needs to be oxygenated with an oxygen pump at all times. At the same time, it is best to keep it in a place protected from light and not allow it to receive light.

Both the ceramic ring and the bacterial house are a type of filter material. However, the principles of these materials are different, and the effects are almost the same. You can choose to buy according to your needs.

The characteristic of the ceramic ring is that the small filter is highly efficient and acts relatively quickly. The bacteria house is made by firing, and it needs to be soaked in water before use, and the effect is relatively slow.

The principle of placing the bacteriological house: (1) "does not affect the smoothness of the water"; (2) "Put as much as you can". Methods: (1) drill several small holes in the wall; (2) Horizontal and vertical can be placed.

Ceramic ring placement:

According to the size of the filtering space to determine, under the premise of enough space, you can put it as you want, if the space is small (such as the finished cylinder filter), then place it neatly to increase the speed of water.

Ceramic Ring] can be used for all biological inner filters, outer filters, drop purification filtration systems, as well as garden pond filters. As a high-efficiency long-lasting filter material, it is also particularly suitable for small biofilters, and biofilter cotton can be used as a pre-filter material to avoid contamination caused by floating debris. Because the ceramic ring is covered with micropores, it is suitable for the reproduction of nitrifying bacteria and can play a role in purifying water quality.

Bacterial house] The bacterial house is a cylindrical body, with a lot of small holes on the side and a lot of holes, which can make the bacterial house very breathable and permeable, which is conducive to the cultivation and production of nitrifying bacteria. But its disadvantage is that it occupies a large area, and the utilization rate of space is not very high. A bacterial house is a biological filter for the cultivation of nitrifying bacteria.

At present, there are many types of bacterial houses, and there is no conclusion in terms of the effect of use.

Theoretically speaking, the bacterial house is better than the ring, but it is also a lot more expensive, its practical ceramic ring can be, this does not need to be washed, washing cotton can be, but if your fish density is large, the life of the ceramic ring is almost a year, about 8-9 months to gradually change the ring, do not change it all at once, if the fish density is small for 1 and a half years to start changing it, it is okay.

I have done a comparative experiment to test the cultivation rate and nitrite treatment of different biological filter media (of the same weight) under the same water quality, water temperature and water flow environment. The conclusion is that there is almost no difference.
