Aquarium filters are an essential component of both freshwater and marine aquaria. These filters remove mechanical and chemical wastes from aquariums simplfying aquarium maintenance. Aquarium filters are necessary to support life in the aquarium as aquaria are relatively small, closed volumes of water compared to the natural environment of most fish. The process of mechanical filtration of aquariums removes particulate material from the water column. This particulate matter may include uneaten food, faeces or plant or algal debris. This is achieved by water passing through materials which act as a sieve, physically trapping the particulate matter. In contrast, biological filtration relies on primarily bacterial decomposition of mainly nitrogenous waste products, such as ammonia.
Numerous materials are suitable for aquarium filtration these include synthetic wools, known in the aquarium hobby as filter wool, made of polyethylene terephthalate or nylon. Synthetic sponges or foams, various ceramic and glass products along with gravels are also used as mechanical filter materials. Materials with a greater surface area provide both mechanical and biological filtration. With the notable exception of diatom filters, aquariums filters are rarely purely mechanical in action, as bacteria will colonise most filter materials effecting some degree of biological filtration. Activated carbon and zeolites are also frequently added to aquarium filters. These highly poroous materials act as adsorbates binding various chemicals to their large external surfaces and also as sites of bacterial colonisation.
