8 Reasons Why Undergravel Fish Tank Filters Are Great

What will definitely guarantee that the fish in your aquarium are healthy and vibrant, above all things, is water that is crystal clear.  And the only pierce of equipment capable of producing the pristine environment is the fish tank filter.  It is the most vital tool for every fish enthusiast and along with a fish tank heater, recreates the environment from where the fish originated.

One filter that has stood the test of time is the undergravel filter.  Though it is mostly used by beginners to fish breeding, it is capable of efficient and reliable filtration equal to any other filter.The filter functions by drawing water through a layer of gravel. The gravel rests on a slightly raised platform away from the base of the tank.  This creates a division between the unfiltered water at the top and a layer of clean water at the bottom, with the gravel acting as a filter.  It performs mechanical filtration by trapping large debris, food excess and waste and beneficial bacteria in the gravel layer also perform biological filtration.

Here are 8 reasons why I consider the undergravel filter to be among the best types of filters on sale today.

Reason #1:  Temperature Regulation

Water is sucked from the bottom of the fish tank and then pumped back in from the top.  This will mix the water up continuosly, as long as you do not turn off the filter.  This circulation of water causes every area of the fish tank to experience the same temperatureBecause of this water circulation, every part of the aquarium maintains the same temperature.  Ideally, if you keep your fish tank heater closer to the lift tubes, it regulates the water temperature even better.

Reason #2:  It Aerates The Water

As the filtered water rises from the bottom through the lift tubes, it will come in contact with outside air.  This aerates the water even better than the bubbles in the tank could.

Reason #3:  Excellent Mechanical Filtration

The gravel is the filter media in this filtration system and they do an excellent job in trapping debris, food excess and fish waste.

Reason #4:  Excellent Biological Filtration

Once the gravel has been given time to age, usually within six weeks without help, it will begin to be colonized by beneficial bacteria.  These Organisms reduce organic proteins into nitrate which can simply be discarded each time you change the tank water.  The nitrate is also a substance consumed by aquatic plant life.

Reason #5:  It Is Capable Of Chemical Filtration

This is one factor ignored by most people, that undergravel filters are capable of being fit with cartridges that perform chemical filtration.  Inside these cartridges usually are activated carbon that helps remove heavy metal, complex proteins, odor, color and even chemical treatment.

Reason #6:  A Bigger Capacity For Waste

The gravel is the element in the filter that actually does the filtration and because they cover a large area than most filters,, undergravel filters can hold the most waste before it needs to be cleaned.

Reason #7:  Simple To Upkeep

Eventually, a layer of muck will build up over the top of the gravel and this layer of muck needs to be cleaned or it will choke the filtration system.  How do you clean it?  By simplying vacuuming up the muck.  One easy way to do this is to use a rubber tube as a siphon when you want to do a water change and simply let it suck up the muck from the top layer of the gravel.

Reason #8:  Cheap

Isn't that really the main draw for most of us?  The entire undergravel filter set is generally cheap compared to other filtration system.  The filter media is the gravel and never needs to be replaced.  The parts are quite sturdy but if you need to replace a part, they are cheap.
