Submersible aquarium pumps can be considered a mandatory attribute of any medium-sized aquarium - with their help it is easy to create the most acceptable conditions for the existence of all the inhabitants in it.
Submersible pump for aquarium
With the smooth operation of the submersible aquarium pump, several life-supporting functions are connected - filtration, aeration (oxygen saturation) and the creation, albeit small, of the flow in the aquarium. If everything is simple and understandable with filtration and aeration (water purification is a comfortable existence of underwater animals, and oxygen is needed to support their life activity), then, on the issue of creating a flow in an aquarium, often, especially inexperienced aquarists, there arises bewilderment in terms of expediency. Based on the experience of researchers and already experienced aquarists, it can be safely asserted that the movement of water is necessary not only for creating in the aquarium real sensations of the underwater world, but also for maintaining its equal temperature throughout the volume, as well as for the even distribution of mineral substances in it.
The choice of a submersible water pump for an aquarium depends on the number of inhabitants and the level of plants in it; consider the pump's capabilities in terms of creating external effects in the form of a noticeable movement of water or the same bubbles; also take into account the quality of water (fresh or salty) and the type of attachment of the pump in the aquarium (suction cup, retainer and so on). And first of all, you should take into account the size of the aquarium - on this indicator depends on the choice of a pump of a particular power. More powerful submersible pumps are installed in aquariums up to 200 liters, and for small aquariums (up to 50 liters), the best choice will be submersible mini pumps.
