aquarium acrylicIs a relatively high grade aquarium products. Acrylic high transparency, light transmittance of 92%, "plastic crystal" reputation, good weather resistance. Especially in outdoor use, ranking the crown of other plastics, good surface hardness and gloss, high processing plasticity. Acrylic can be made into a variety of required shapes and products. In addition, there are a variety of color rich plate (including translucent color plate). Another feature of acrylic is that the thick plate can still maintain high transparency, and the aquarium acrylic has good weather resistance and acid and alkali resistance.

Attention to purchase

Pay attention to whether there are scratches and abrasions on the surface of the fish tank, whether there are nodules and whirlpools in the middle of the plate, surface sink marks, cracks, pitting, mildew points, alkali marks, water marks, bubbles and foreign impurities. The glass fish tank has high transparency, is not easy to produce scratches, and has strong compression resistance. The glass fish tank is glued with silica gel. The safety of the glued part depends on whether the thickness of the glue is uniform and whether there are bubbles in the glue.

Cleaning method

Acrylic aquarium usually internal filtration system includes the following components: filter cotton, biochemical cotton, glass ring (mainly including ceramic ring and biological stone) and activated carbon (ammonia absorption stone, maifan stone, etc.). It can be seen from these basic accessories that a complete filtration system is relatively complex in terms of sealing and installation performance. The key is that multiple cleaning is not conducive to the protection of nitrifying bacteria in the cleaning system. Because the main water cleaning work can only be completed with their help, when choosing the fish tank acrylic water cleaning filter material, choose products with good quality and relatively high price.

Let's briefly talk about the cleaning of acrylic filter cotton inside the fish tank. Pay attention to the frequency, as far as possible a thorough cleaning, to avoid multiple cleaning damage nitrifying bacteria. Usually we are mainly engaged in physical filtration, specifically, we are mainly responsible for cleaning up large solid residues. So the filter cotton is particularly easy to dirty. Generally, the water exchange is used to remove the filter cotton and rinse it repeatedly.

Note: Do not scrub repeatedly during the washing process, and do not wash directly with natural water. This destroys the nitrifying bacteria, resulting in a loss of biofiltration.
