Aquaclear wet dry filters come in all different shapes and sizes, but rest assured, any one that you choose will keep your tank clean.
Why aquaclear wet dry filters?
Aquaclear wet dry filters are just one more fish tank filter option. The purpose of these filters is to keep your fish tank clean and free of debris, waste and other toxic material. Aquaclear wet dry filters are certainly not the only kind of filter that you can get for your tank, but they are very effective.
Newer Aquaclear wet dry filters come with built in skimmers. Skimmers are the devices that collect and remove debris from the bottom of the tank. Some aquaclear wet dry filters also can perform multiple filtration tasks. This is unique because many filters can only perform one of the three different filtration processes.
Many Aquaclear wet dry filters can perform mechanical, chemical and biological filtration. So, instead of having to purchase each of these filtration system types, you can buy just one Aquaclear wet dry filter.
Types of Aquaclear wet dry filters
You can find Aquaclear wet dry filters that sit in the tank, hang on the tank or are freestanding though the freestanding Aquaclear wet dry filters are usually used in saltwater aquariums.
Some Aquaclear wet dry filters such as the wet/dry system that is made by Eheim, come with two or three different compartments. Each filtration compartment can handle a different type of filtration so a two chamber compartment might handle both chemical and mechanical filtration.
If you have a smaller aquarium you can get slim line Aquaclear wet dry filters. These filters are smaller and come with a chemical chamber. The chemical chamber is a carbon based chamber that gets rid of dissolved waste. This type of Aquaclear wet dry filter is best used with a 100-180 gallon system and comes with a removable plate that makes it easy to clean.
Some Aquaclear wet dry filters also come with protein skimmers. This means that the system creates bubbles that attach to the chemical compounds of the waste that’s hanging out at the bottom of the tank. The waste then rides the bubbles to the top of the tank where it’s collected in a container and then removed.
Aquaclear wet dry filters can be found at any pet store or specialty fish store. You do not have to get Aquaclear wet dry filters, but you definitely need to have some type of filtration system to keep you fish healthy.
