This makes the provision of alternative way of oxygen for fish to breathe essential. This artificial process of providing air is called aeration….

As we all know lakes and rivers will be the natural habits for fish and other marine life. Rivers and lakes have large surface making provision of oxygen for fish survival possible. On the other hand an aquarium isn't like river or sea, it's an inferior surface and there is minimal motion of habitats the link .

This makes the supply of alternative way of oxygen for fish to breathe crucial. This process of giving air is named aeration. It is a straightforward process of re-oxygenating the water in aquarium tank.

The Aquarium Aerating System:

An tank aerating aystem composed of a series of materials that increases the supply of air (thus increasing oxygen concentration) they are:

-the air pump

-t-pieces

-rubber tubing

-clamp or regulator

-diffusers or airstone

Air pumps can be found in different shapes and sizes but probably the most popular ones are tecax air pump from Taiwan along with 'dyna free, and the monster' another popular one is very 555 from India though cheaper, but much less durable. Sporadically available are the rens air pumps and more expensive sound from Uk and rance respectively. Always area air pumps above the water level connected to a non-vibrating material view site .

You can achieve aeration in your tank tank using the above stated aeration products.

For small tanks all that's necessary is always to fix a simple aquarium air pump to airstone by means of a rubber air tube. The process will undoubtedly be blowing air into the water that causes movement in aquarium tank and thus give the necessary air your fish has to breathe in the aquarium.

Sometimes people complain the airpumps are too loud. A techniques to keep the air pump quiet is always to insulate it's vibrations by placing the air pump on a large sponge webaddress .

I've even heard about some people who have buried the pump in cat litter with a air pipe running to the area from the air inlet… However you do not have to go-to that extent. A sizable sponge have to do the trick.Aeration Septic, INC 766 Elm Ridge Ave Canal Fulton, OH 44614 330-854-4405
