2. In order to keep your aquarium clean from algae formation and from
the bacteria, you need to use the filter. There are various types of
filter out there in the market. Let's get to know the filters in
aquarium.

These filters makes use of multiple filteration technique that makes
up of canister and the sponge, carbon filter. Filter is much cheap that
way and you can use it for the water cleaning.
Undergravel Filter (UGF)
Medium priced filter. A bit complicated to setup but easy to maintain
afterwards. They are also easy to manage as well.
3. Sponge Filter
They are cheap and relatively
easy to clean and maintain.
They don't make much noise
and you get to use them pretty
effectively. If you can't afford
expensive filters then go with
the sponge filters.
Protein Skimmer
Protein skimmer will remove dissolved organic material from the
water. They are quite pricey and rarely considered these days.
Protein skimmers also help increase the dissolved oxygen levels in
your saltwater aquarium.
Refugium
It is an external filtering tank, not used most of the time because
external mechanical filters are much better compared to this.
Aquarium Sump
Sump is like an external tank with the provision to filter out the
waste from the main tank. This sump is not used these days because
you can see how that is going to increase the maintenance.
