Salt Water Aquarium Information

Choosing a Filter

There are several types of filters available on the market, including under gravel filters, canister filters, hang-on-tank filters, and wet dry filters. However, for the sake of brevity and the fact that most viewers of this site are probably beginners who are anxious to setup their first aquarium, we are only going to discuss the hang-on-tank filter.

The hang-on-tank filter is a very popular choice for most beginners because it is cost efficient and it is very easy to use. Basically a hang-on-tank filter works by pulling water out of the aquarium using an impeller, the water then passes through a filter media, and then pours back into the aquarium by the force of gravity. These filters can be assembled and put into operation in about five minutes.
