What kind of filtration is needed?
-There are three major types of filtration used in marine aquariums — mechanical, chemical and biological. A healthy mixture of all three types of filtration is advised. Biological filtration utilizes bacteria to break down waste material in the water. Mechanical filtration filters out small particles in the water as they pass through a filter media. Chemical filters utilize materials like activated carbon to remove dissolved molecules from the water. AquaticArt can help you determine what type of filter you need for your specific system.
