http://www.ipsf.com We discuss the components of a typical HOB (hang-on-the-back) filter unit and show how to mount the unit on the Nano Lagoon tank.
Our unit is the 5-15 model from Aquatech. Other companies such as Whisper make similar units which are also acceptable to use.
The components of the filtration unit include the box, the motor, the impeller, the intake tube, the sponge filter and the biofiber cartridge.
The biofiber cartridge provides surface area for growth of beneficial bacteria. It is left in place except when we place a Coralline Booster plate into the filter box to seed the tank with coralline algae spores.
The sponge filter removes particulates from the seawater. It should be replaced on a monthly basis. The carbon (activated charcoal) pellets remove dissolved organic matter such as organic dyes from the seawater.
The intake tube has been painted with Krylon Patriot Blue paint to match the background of the tank. We aim to keep the background as free of distractions as possible.
The filter box is mounted on the rim of the tank and filled with seawater before being plugged in. As noted in the directions that came with the unit, a simple drip loop is formed with the power cord to prevent seawater getting to the electrical outlet.
The seawater cascading into the tank forms minor turbulence which creates air bubbles. These bubbles help oxygenate the seawater. The inflowing water also creates beneficial currents in the tank itself.
We have not yet discussed artificial lighting or addition of marine life in the tank. These topics will be discussed in forthcoming videos.
In the meantime, be sure to replace evaporative loss with fresh tap water (NOT seawater!) on a daily basis. The actual amount of evaporation will vary from tank to tank, but 4 ounces a day of water loss is about average.
