In the aspect of aquarium, the filter material is mostly used in the cultivation of bacteria in the filtration system and the function of blocking small garbage.But have you considered, how does the filter material filter water and colonize?I think there is a misunderstanding for many fishermen. The filter material is only used to cultivate bacteria.As long as the filter material can be colonized, everything is OK.In fact, this is a superficial aspect!Fish farming first raises water, and water is good for fish. This is the last word.Many fishermen only know what kind of filter material is expensive, and what kind of nitrifying bacteria is expensive.But what is good about a good filter material, and what exactly is a good filter material?Many advertising words are flying all over the sky, as much as you exaggerate (what rare earth. etc.)!It can be said that the invincible effect is the same.But it is cheap, and the cost is extremely low!The following explains each filter material one by one.Everyone will understand that fish farming is very simple, how to use filter materials to filter water and colonize.Also tell everyone that the filter material not only colonizes but also filters water!If you look down slowly, you know what is appropriate?How to achieve the micro-ecological balance of water filter material, you have been pursuing the original ecology.In fact, it has always existed, but you have not used it well!1. Bacteria house, technology ring, nano. etc. filter materials, most of the filter materials now use ceramic as raw material.Sintered!But dont look at hundreds of ceramic raw materials and one ton, there are still many black commercial waste tiles and some clearing tiles (at the end of the decoration city, there is a piece of pentagon.More often than not).There are all kinds of impurities in these waste tiles, and if you are lucky, you will receive some good clearance tiles.Some manufacturers are desperate, and ceramic raw materials are cheap.There are heavy metals in the ceramic. Etc. polluting substances.How much soil is not contaminated in China, maybe I have said too much!There are still food grade ceramics, these are used to make ceramic tableware.etc.Industrial ceramics are used as crafts!Prices vary widely.The ceramic sintering process can add some beneficial substances; for example: calcium, magnesium.Wait.(Artificial addition); ceramics have to go through the iron washing process to remove impurities such as heavy metals, but this process is often; this process.The cost has increased greatly!Now the microporous bacteria house is already retailing a box of 154, 200 yuan is enough.Have you thought about the dealers margin profit?What about factory wholesale profits?What about shipping costs?Of course, ceramic is a very cheap raw material, there is still space!The good filter material made of ceramic quality and stable water quality are also good.But over time, the filter media pores become clogged.Bacteria die in the holes, and fine particles are clogged when filtering water.Wait.It also causes a certain life span to exist!Many people think that if you take out the high-pressure gun to wash it, it will be the same as the new one.In fact, only part of the dust on the surface can be washed away.The micropores inside are not rinsed out!The ceramic filter material really has micropores inside.Birds nest or honeycomb, that is to say, the filter material covered with micropores is easy to break.There will be regular automatic shedding, because bacteria are stored in it and start to eat the filter material.You can observe these details!As long as the solid filter material does not fall off little by little.Dont think that I am a gunman, I hope you can replace the filter material regularly; the filter material can be sold!Everyone must understand that nothing is eternal!In addition, the far infrared ray of the ceramic filter material is artificially added, and the added substances are radium powder and far infrared ray powder.These substances are not the best practice, and the effect is not permanent!The real far-infrared effect is extracted from a substance, which is difficult to extract!(As for what is inconvenient to say, the core problem).The peak value of this substance can be reached by adding far infrared rays, and it is eternal!Its not like the minerals are gone after they are released.Please pay special attention to fishermen, whether it is triangle, spiral, square. Various shapes.All the same goods, honeycomb.The effect is the same, and it is inseparable!Open a mold and make any shape at will.The current technology on the market can only make honeycomb pores, and it is impossible to connect the birds nest-shaped pores with the pores!Dont give a weird shape, you can buy it at a high price.That can only be killed!2. Fiber balls, there are some cotton-like filter materials on the market now.In fact, it is made of fiber filaments!In fact, many water treatments also use fiber balls as filter materials, and the treatment effect is good.Because the price is cheap, the amount of sewage treatment is large when the area is large.There are many advantages, you can check online if you are interested!Personally think that fiber balls are still chemical materials.3. The glass ring, in fact, the glass ring is better than many strange and high-tech filters now!The glass ring is extremely cost-effective, and the cultivation effect is actually very good.But the glass ring is slightly alkaline.In fact, the glass ring is not alkaline, and the effect of culturing bacteria is not worse than that of the fine-pore honeycomb bacteria house (and cheap).Sour fishermen can consider!Of course, the glass ring also has good quality.Its just that the chance of counterfeiting of glass worthless things is low!The following filter materials are my key points to speak, and it is also a good way for everyone to pursue the original ecology!4. Maifan stone, I believe that people who dont keep fish know this kind of stone!Needless to say the benefits, everyone knows.But why do I focus on one of these filters?Maifan stone also has a distinction between good and bad, and it has huge reserves in China.But not every place of origin or even the same place of origin is different.Although there are 58 kinds of minerals in Maifan Stone, not all Maifan Stones in 58 places have 58 kinds of minerals!In some cases, the price is expensive, and it is not free to buy.How can we say how much minerals Maifan stone contains?What percentage of a certain mineral can be counted as content?Therefore, not all Maifan stone contains 58 minerals, that is, taste.The problem of the quality of Maifan stone.The cheap maifanite is more than 80 yuan and there is only one ton. There are only a dozen kinds of minerals (usually used by water manufacturers and then sold, so the price is so cheap), but the grade is very poor, the mineral content is low, and contains mineralThe ingredients are low, and the lifespan will naturally be used up quickly.Good and expensive 3,000-5000 a ton.Usually contains more than 50 kinds of minerals are considered high grade!10,000 steps back, even if there are 50 kinds of minerals for fish farming, it is more than enough.What I said is more than our needs!Maybe my personal requirements are high, even if there are only a dozen kinds of mineral maifan stone; is fish farming not good enough?This Maifan stone is also very good for raising fish!As long as it is not discarded after use and then sold.Disadvantages: 1. Although Maifan Stone has micropores, it is limited after all (dont believe the hammer, just hammer it.Compare the hammer to the volcanic stone again).2. When the water flows through without processing.Not all water can flow through the Maifan stone.3. The minerals of Maifan Stone have a longevity problem.It is estimated that it is probably calculated, 1.8 meters long *0.75 meters wide*0.76 meters high fish tank.The life of Maifan Stone is about half a year.Of course, it depends on how big the bottom filter is done; put more points and have a longer life.(I said that the lifespan is not an accurate number, there are many factors to consider; for example: is the local water quality poor, water exchange rate?).4. Maifan stone is not expensive, but the freight is expensive; most of the cost is eaten up by the freight.Some good taste high-maifan stone, in remote places.It can be said that in sparsely populated areas, the freight is more expensive.In fact, the more remote, the less pollution!5. Even with high-grade Maifan stone, the release of minerals cannot be completely released.In the back, the middle core will not be released, and some are very weak!In the end, it can only be used as an ordinary filter material.Some fishermen will say that Maifan Stone is adsorbent.However, Maifan stone also has adjustability, solubility, biological activity, and mineralization.In fact, they can be checked online!It is always said that the adsorption is released after saturation.In fact, personally think that Maifan stone is stronger than activated carbon here, and Maifan stone will not be released as much as activated carbon after adsorption and saturation.Because of the adjustment of Maifan stone!If there are heavy metals in tap water, ceramics will be contaminated with heavy metals.Otherwise, how can the soil also be contaminated by heavy metals (but the maifan stone has an adsorption effect, which can protect the fish from harm for a period of time, and the ceramic has no adsorption property. Once the tap water has heavy metals, it will kill the fish)?If it is the Maifan Stone itself that has heavy metals, I dont know how to argue. I can wash the iron to remove heavy metals.Nothing more than increasing costs!It also depends on what quality Maifan Stone you bought. Generally, Maifan Stone will not have this situation!5. Volcanic rocks are mostly distributed in China: Yunnan, Liaoning, Hainan, Hebei are also available but the quality is more general.But only Yunnan and Hainan can be used as filter materials, Hebei has more gray, gray and black, and a small amount of red can be used as filter materials.There are three colors of volcanic stone: black, gray and dark red.Only the dark red volcanic rocks are small and light in density. Because of the lightness, the red volcanic rocks are also called pumice.The surface of the red volcanic stone is covered with tiny holes. Can you see the pictures?Can be used as a good filter material volcanic stone, the surface is covered with micropores.Like a nest of swallows, inextricably linked.The micropores are connected together, the same in series!The existence of coarse, medium, small and micropores is like a filter.The water passes through the coarse-medium-small-micropores. Isnt it filtering the impurities in the water?Dirty things will be filtered in the holes as the water flows through.Some of these dirty things have also become bacterial food!The dark red volcanic stone has more than 20 kinds of minerals, and it is absolutely not as rich as maifan stone!Volcanic stones also emit trace amounts of infrared rays and a rays, which are not only good for fish, but also good for the human body!These are long-standing!Minerals will have a useful life!The benefits of dark red volcanic stone, in fact, everyone understands it online!In fact, volcanic stone is more suitable as a filter material than Maifan stone, because the surface of the volcanic stone is roughly covered with micropores, like the nest of a swallow, inextricably linked.The micropores are connected together.The space for storing microorganisms is much larger than Maifan stone.Its just that the minerals of Maifan stone are much more than volcanic stones!It should be said that there are strengths and weaknesses in each other!Benefits of volcanic stone: living water, stabilizing water quality, promoting metabolism, optimizing growth.etc.In fact, we dont lazily search the Internet, or browse through library materials!I know that volcanic stone and Maifan stone are precious stones left over from ancient times!The minerals and beneficial substances of the two stones are mostly left over many years. In fact, our fishermen have been looking for the best filter material in these original natural stones.Of course, there are many natural stones with what good benefits!But the price of a good volcanic stone is not cheap, it is often best to choose more than 4000 a ton, and the cheaper is more than 300 a ton!These are not including freight, in fact, these beneficial stones left over ten million years.Those with the best taste and no pollution are often difficult to develop.They are all in remote mountainous areas and sparsely populated places!Shipping costs may be more expensive than the price of the goods!Due to various circumstances, some businesses will falsify for profiteering (reducing high freight costs), artificial volcanic stone: the scientific name of shaped energy sand is artificial, the main role is to raise the PH value.The structure of the shaped sand is unstable and will undergo structural changes due to immersion, decomposing a large amount of red sand and muddy water.Use value is not great.Its appearance features are that the color of a pile of stones is basically the same as the hole structure. There is no problem of some deep colors and some light colors. The colors are very bright and the pore size is basically the same.The appearance of the natural mineral volcanic stone is relatively dim. If you look closely, you can find that the color, appearance and pore structure of each piece are different. There are even a few marginal other minerals mixed in it.Many fishermen knew that man-made volcanic rocks existed early, but I hate fake volcanic rocks.Because the harm is not shallow!So tirelessly say it again!I hope that the majority of fishermen will not be deceived!Only red ones can be used as filter materials, and those with gray or black-gray colors cannot be used as filter materials.Because gray or dark gray has only coarse holes and few micro holes.Minerals are not as rich as the red volcanic stone.The price is quite cheap, gray or dark gray volcanic stone is used for barbecue board, floor tiles.etc.The filter material value is very low!Pure red volcanic stone does not contain black and gray colors.The higher the purity!Minerals are also the most abundant and expensive.The trace a-rays of volcanic stone are good for the color development of the red dragon. This can be thought about when the arhat fish is connected with the volcanic stone to induce color!Others say that volcanic rocks are high in iron and poisoned by heavy metals. And so on.In fact, it depends on the quality of the volcanic stone you bought?In fact, proper iron can help hematopoiesis in the human body.This little kid knows!Is proper iron helpful to the color development of fish?This needs a lot of biological research!6. Tourmaline: alias called (tourmaline, tourmaline,), is a natural gemstone.But tourmaline also has good or bad; there are several types: 1, synthetic fiber tourmaline is usually the lowest price, some businesses will be ground into powder for sale, because there are so many.The purity is relatively low and the quality is average.The role of basic tourmaline is gone, several thousand yuan a ton.2. The single crystal tourmaline is natural, and can not reach the gemstone tourmaline, and the purity is very high.The price is usually 4 to 510,000 tons.3. Rainbow color of natural tourmaline: it can be used for gems and jewelry.Of course, the price is very expensive, which is calculated on the basis of tens of thousands of pounds.If you encounter high-grade natural rainbow gemstones, the price is more expensive.I post pictures of single crystal and jewelry grade, the jewelry grade is red, and the single crystal is black.The surface of tourmaline is smooth, but why can it be used as a filter material?The role of natural tourmaline is as follows: 1, can permanently release negative ions.2. Release far-infrared rays, everyone should know that there is a difference between infrared and far-infrared rays, and the difference is very big!To reach the far infrared rays of the human body, a certain light wave is required.(The far infrared of tourmaline is many times stronger than volcanic stone) 3. Improve the immune function of human body.4. Enhance metabolism.5. Improve the microcirculation system.6. Activate water molecules, increase the bodys oxygen content, eliminate water odor and residual chlorine, eliminate harmful substances and carcinogens.The negative ions contained in tourmaline, once in contact with water, can instantly release current in the water, this current is the most suitable for the human body 0.06MA current.When water comes into contact with the above weak current, the hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in the surrounding water molecules are separated.On the one hand, hydrogen ions combine with electrons to form hydrogen gas, and hydroxide ions combine with surrounding water molecules to form interface active substances and can generate negative ions more than 300 times.The hydrogen is measured by ultrasonic at this time to be 1.32PPM, which shows that the reducing potential of water is very good, in this environment, the water will become alkaline ionized water (PH value 7.4 or so, just like the body fluids of the human body).At the same time, because the water becomes weakly alkaline, the algae will no longer reproduce.Although the tourmaline has a smooth surface and no micropores; the advantage of tourmaline is that volcanic stone and Maifan stone cant have it!So I think its worth adding in filtering.But dont buy tourmaline powder, buy the finished single crystal!For more benefits, the vast majority of fishermen look at Wikipedia.I understand!7. Chitin: Also known as (chitosan), there is something to say before starting to say chitin.Using chitin as a filter material in the aquarium is a big joke and the biggest scam.Chitin can be dissolved in dimethylacetamide or concentrated acid containing 8% lithium chloride; insoluble in water, dilute acid, alkali, ethanol or other organic solvents.If sintered with chitin, chitin is organic, and it will disappear when burned.Only calcium and magnesium ions are left. And other substances.Not as good as Maifan stone!If using chitin, use food grade glue to make the filter material.This is worse, there are no holes.No space for storing bacteria!Take up the space of the filtration system, it is better to throw it away.Why is chitin useless in the aquarium.Chitin is soluble in acid, and it can be absorbed only after the human body has stomach acid or liquid input.How does fresh water and seawater dissolve in water when it is not acidic?Even if the water in the fish tank is sour, it is not concentrated acid?How to dissolve in water?"Assume" An analogy is that even if the chitin is dissolved in water after the acid falls, then your fish is dead.What is the role of being dissolved in water?Its almost when the fishermans head is dissolved in water.If you have chitin filter material, say something offending: just throw it away!Please dont think of Chinese fishermen as animals that are fooled and slaughtered at will?Closer to home, the quality of chitin distinguishes.Chitin is extracted from the shells of crustaceans such as lower plant fungi, shrimps, crabs, insects, and the cell walls of fungi.Domestic chitin or used in less demanding industries are made of shells and insects. The shell is extracted from the cheaper price.It is our vegetable market, bought a few yuan shellfish extracted.Really demanding and expensive chitin: made from two shells with Las Vegas crabs and Singapore shrimps!The refining purity is very high and very pure, usually 5 to 610,000 tons.Even medical ones will be more expensive!Good chitin is expensive because it can be further refined into chitosan to fight cancer, inhibit cancer and tumor cell metastasis, improve human immunity and protect liver and detoxify.It is especially suitable for diabetes, liver and kidney disease, hypertension, obesity and other diseases, and is helpful for preventing cancer cell lesions and assisting radiotherapy and chemotherapy to treat tumor diseases.Think about it, do you have fish cancer only?Why use chitin?Even if it is not bad, chitin is not soluble in water?It wont work, and it will occupy the bottom filter space.Does it make sense?If it is chitin glued together with edible grade glue, 1. It can not be dissolved in water, and can not be dissolved in water. How to increase resistance?2. It is only used to purify water. There is a better choice than this expensive but not real chitin!Its worthless.8. Rare earth: Before using rare earth to treat water quality, everyone should understand what is called "rare earth"?This little explanation can be found on Baidu and Wikipedia!But there is a question that everyone should consider. The original wild arowana growth environment and earthen pond are rare earths?There will be rare earth but this rare earth is not that rare earth, it is troublesome!Arowana will get sick and the rainbow fish will demembrane.and many more.So not all rare earths can be used in aquariums!Everyone carefully considers how to use it properly?
