Generally, acrylic aquarium fish tanks have a larger water body than ordinary household fish tanks, so they need to be equipped with corresponding life support systems. In fact, whether it is a small fish tank for home use or a large water body in an aquarium, fish living and breeding in it also need a series of equipment to achieve the purpose of maintaining various signs of life.
Such a system is a life support system, or life support system for short. The life support system is generally composed of a circulation system, a sterilization system, and a biochemical system. Each system forms a whole with each other to deal with the waste generated by the survival of fish. The configuration of the life support system varies greatly for different fish and aquatic organisms.
It is necessary to plan a suitable life support system according to the life characteristics and survival needs of different organisms. Some organisms may also need to add a temperature control system, and some may need to add special mineral elements to survive. The life support equipment used in the home generally includes ultraviolet sterilizers, protein removers, and tank filtration systems. Of course, large fish and other highly professional species still have to be raised by professional units such as aquariums.
The investment in the related life support system is not affordable for ordinary enthusiasts, and at the same time, it also requires high professional knowledge. Common life support equipment in aquariums includes protein separators, ozone generators, biochemical filters, activated carbon filters and other equipment. In short, the setting of the life support system may vary from fish to fish.
