The来自Marineland的Penguin Pro Power过滤器are the first major release of a new aquarium filter of this kind in many years. Marineland’s Penguin and Emperor filters have been some of the most popular models in the aquarium hobby for decades with our personal first filter ever being the venerable Emperor 400.
由于悬挂电力过滤器是大多数淡水水族馆以及一些盐水业余爱好者的水族馆过滤的主力,我们希望仔细研究Marineland在新的Penguin Pro Power Filters中设计的变化和改进。尽管企鹅过滤器在数十年中经历了许多肤浅和包装的改头换面,但直到新的企鹅专家一代,电源过滤器的每个方面都从头开始重新设计。
If there’s one thing that has given Marineland’s Emperor and Penguin power filters such lasting power is has to be their signature ‘bio-wheel’ which is a rotating biological contactor. The bio-wheel imparts imparts Marineland’s power filters with true wet-dry biological filtration in a dedicated object with a very high concentration of surface area for maximum colonization by important bacteria.
最大的企鹅Pro费尔的新改进ters is the relocation of the powerhead assembly from the inside of the filter to the outside, hanging inside the tank to increase space in the filter, but mostly to eliminate the need for priming. To our surprise Marineland didn’t let this new space go to waste and implemented something completely new with a built-in media reactor.
This small chamber can be used to hold any kind of chemical filtration media – great for using some carbon or GFO in nano reef tanks – but the documentation for the Penguin Pro tends to steer users towards using the ‘K2 Biological Media‘ which is designed to tumble within this chamber. With the Pro generation of Penguin filters Marineland has placed a lot of effort into making the filter as quiet as possible and with that in mind there is plenty of soft rubber gaskets connecting the pump to the filter to reduce and minimize vibrations.
企鹅Pro的主要过滤体积是传统企鹅过滤器用户熟悉的,因为它有两个插槽可容纳Marineland Rite Size大小的墨盒或其自己的可重新填充媒体墨盒。其他一些变化包括覆盖整个过滤器的铰链盖,溢洪道的设计要比以前低得多,并且完全重新设计的进气滤网具有巨大的表面积,可防止水的摄入量。
Marineland对他们的新企鹅Pro Power过滤器的所有新改进都给我们留下了深刻的印象,他们解决了对遗产模型的一些小但长期以来的批评。尽管电源过滤器并不是大多数人潜入礁石爱好的首选,但这只是一种趋势和最终的偏好,因为从技术上讲,没有任何技术可以使用电力过滤器繁华的盐水鱼。
我们确实正在挖掘企鹅专业人士的新改进,我们将尽快将他们的步调通过他们的步调,因为我们期待在将来分享对Marineland的新工作强力滤波器的更深入的长期审查。
