 External Aquarium Filters are an exception piece of kit! They remove the tradition internal filter freeing up your aquarium with extra space and only have 2 pipes which blend into the corners or that are hidden in the back. They also add to the volume which helps make fish keeping even easier.
External Aquarium Filters are easy to use and manage as they are a separate unit under the aquarium in the cabinet below. Cleaning is made a lot simpler as most come with isolation valves which when u turn off stop the water from flowing and makes turning the filter back on a breeze. To clean simply unplug the lid from the base and carry it to a spot where you can easily replace the filter wool and rinse the sponges. Once finished you simply take it back to the tank and clip it in. It's easier to get it going again if you have filled the aquarium up with water again.
External Aquarium Filters come in many different brands and all do a fairly decent job. Some of these new filters have UV built in which goes a long way to enhancing the clarity of your water and reducing the likelihood of your fish catching a disease. |
