The first and most important element for a stable ecosystem in the aquarium is proper filtration. The top aquarium filter is a preferred choice of many aquarists due to its efficient operation, easy maintenance and minimal noise. Mounted above the water level, it provides excellent circulation and oxygen enrichment - a key condition for healthy plants and active fish.

How to choose a top filter for an aquarium
When choosing a top filter for an aquarium, pay attention to the volume of the aquarium and the filter flow rate. Models with a flow rate of 300 to 800 l/h are suitable for most home aquariums. It is also important to make sure that the filter is compatible with your lighting and cover.
- Calculate the required flow rate – at least 3–4 times the volume of the aquarium per hour;
- Choose a filter with the ability to adjust the flow;
- Check the size and shape – to fit under the cover or frame;
