Is a canister filter worth it?
It was one of the best filters with immersive performance results. As you can see the result was within two days.
The dirty water will become clean and it will reduce the ammonia and nitrate in the tank.
The filtration process was done through different processes such as mechanical, biological, and chemical.
Canister filters are better than internal or normal filter because it works from outside, So you and see the difference in the working and performance of the filter.
What media should I put in my canister filter?
You can use any kind of chemical media in the filter. The media are bags of carbon-resin blends, phosphate removers, and activated carbon pads.
But I’ll recommend using Fluval Biomax as the media for the filter because it was a durable one. All you need to do is to buy the Fluval Biomax and put it in the filter.
Should the canister filter run all the time?
You need to run the filter all time otherwise the water parameter will start changing. The changes in the water parameter will affect the health condition of the fish and it was very hard to recover the fish from stress or swim bladder issues etc.
So you need to run the filter every time. It will not increase heavy electricity bills.
Is a canister filter better than an internal filter?
According to my opinion, the canister filter is better than the internal filter because the canister filter provides an effective result in performance.
Internal filters are also good but they will not perform like canister filters. The internal filters will only clean the dirty water, but the canister filter will clean the water and remove the ammonia and nitrite from the tank.
