![]() ![]() Each type of equipment will discuss its function and how it operates. Lets now take a look at the following equipment designed specifically to support various filtration processes. More on this when you read about protein skimmers! One thing for sure is that flow rate, without using mathematical equations is more guesswork than an accurate statement. Notice the word 'mainly' in all three forms of filtration described above, as all incorporate the other forms of filtration to some lesser degree.īefore going further, one of the most misunderstood terminologies associated with filtration equipment is 'Turnover rate!' It is sometimes erroneously described or thought of as gallons per hour (GPH), nevertheless, just how much of the systems water is actually recycled within the defined time period depends on location of the equipment's intake and outflow piping, the equipments internal flow path (turns and angles), flow paths inside the aquarium, and its height placement in relation to the aquarium. As for mechanical filtration, it's a process used mainly to sieve water of large undissolved floating particles. Those designed for chemical filtration affect the quality of the water flowing through or over it. ![]() Units designed for biological filtration mainly institutes bacterium/bacteria processes, e.g., those associated with the nitrification cycle. By Bob Goemans Chapter 4 - Filtration EquipmentThere are three forms of 'filtration,' biological, chemical, and mechanical. ![]()
