Since we are so deep into creating content for the reef aquarium hobby in terms of articles, videos and podcasts it’s always refreshing for us to see and hear what other aquarium veterans have to say about aquarium gear. One notable figure in this space is Ralph Cabage aka Aquaman Knox who has worked in the aquarium industry longer than we have and helmed the introduction of Sicce USA for ten years.
Cabage先生对罐过滤器具有特殊的亲和力,因此他将许多不同的品牌和模型非常详细地介绍为他称为Canister Filter Wars的系列。现在,在前两个“罐”的音节之后,日常礁守门员已经调整了,但是这些设备是大型淡水坦克的最受欢迎的过滤形式,我们不明白为什么它们在盐水水族馆的爱好中如此受到损害。
如果您认为这是基本的media reactor可以很容易的成本高达一百美元或更多and doesn’t include the pump, a small or entry level canister filter is essentially the same thing without the see through reaction chamber but it can be very price competitive and come with a pump and a whole heap of tubing, fittings and accessories. Certainly there were a lot of saltwater hobbyists who ran their tanks with canister filters before the ubiquity of centralized filtration in a sump and the only real reason canisters aren’t more used is because of a lack of information about their role in saltwater aquariums.
我们当然并不提倡每个人都急忙将他们的礁石和盐水装备转换为使用罐过滤器,但是您会惊讶地发现,使用良好的罐装罐过滤器设置可以在中小型坦克上获得多少里程。Whether you’re curious about salty canisters or want to learn more about potential models for your freshwater aquarium this series from Aquaman Knox is a great look at how different brands and models compare and the nuance in how the affect the user experience of using and cleaning them.
