for a one-meter fish tank? A 20-55 W water pump is used for a one-meter fish tank. The reason why there is a big difference is that the length of the fish tank can not completely determine the power of the pump, but also refer to the overall amount of water, the species of fish, and the filtration situation. If the width and height of the fish tank are limited and only goldfish are kept, a 20 W pump can be used, but if the space of the fish tank is large enough and the fish are marine fish, a 55 W pump may not be enough.
the size of the water pump 1. The size of the cylinder: The size of the water pump first depends on the size of the fish tank. Usually, the larger the fish tank, the greater the power of the water pump. If the power is not enough, the filtering effect will not be achieved and the water quality will not be maintained, which will affect the health of the fish. It must be ensured that the water in the tank is filtered about 7-10 times per hour.
2. Size of the filter bin: In addition to considering the size of the fish tank, the size of the filter bin is also critical, because the larger the filter bin is, the more filter materials it can accommodate. If the water flow is not enough, there will be some problems with the inflow and outflow. Therefore, a large filter bin requires a large flow, and a larger water pump is needed for filtration.
3. Feeding density: The more fish you raise, the more feces you have, and the faster the water quality deteriorates. In this case, if you want to maintain the water quality, it is necessary to ensure the high efficiency of filtration. The pump with larger power is also helpful to strengthen the filtration. Only when the flow is large can the water be better circulated.
