| Nanobacterial House | 890+ | 97.2% | Enhance nitrification |
| Triple filter pump | 650+ | 89.5% | Physical and biochemical filtration |
5. Advanced solutions suggested by experts
Zhihu's popular answers to the professional plan proposed by the Chinese aquarium master:
•Three-dimensional filtration system: combination of upper physical filter cotton + middle biosphere + bottom ceramic ring
•Feeding Management: Adopt the principle of "small amount and multiple meals" (3-4 times a day, and eat within 2 minutes each time)
•Plant assist: Plant banyan, knives, etc. to absorb nitrates (1 plant per 10 liters of water)
6. Common misunderstandings to refute rumors
Three major misunderstandings pointed out in recent Douyin rumor-refuting videos:
× The feces can be eaten directly by fish (actually secondary contamination)
