Recommended aquarium volume
The volume of the aquarium in liters in which the filter will ensure proper water purification performance. This parameter is usually indicated approximately, because when choosing an aquarium filter, it is important to take into account other factors: the degree of population of the monastery for underwater inhabitants, the size of the fish, etc.
Power
The power level, measured in watts, determines the energy consumption of the filter and/or its components (compressor, fan, etc.). This parameter indicates how much electricity the filter “winds” during operation and is not directly related to its filtration performance (see below).
Performance
The volume of water that the filter is able to process and purify per unit of time. Often this parameter is measured in liters of water per hour. Filter performance is directly related to the recommended aquarium size. It is customary to ensure that the flow rate of liquid passing through the filter in one hour exceeds the volume of the reservoir at least three times. Thus, for a conventional aquarium with a volume of 200 l, the recommended filtration capacity should be at least 600 l/h.
